Game preferences can be set by going to the “File” menu and choosing “Properties”.
You should now be taken to the games title screen. You may get an error saying that “dispdib.dll” is missing, but it doesn’t seem to matter so you can simply dismiss this warning. Start the game like this in the future, do not start it from the CD, though you will need the CD in your computers optical drive whenever you want to play. You can now start the game by clicking the “Worm.EXE” file. If you don’t know how to do this, see this tutorial. Now, find the “WORM.EXE” file in the ASSETS folder and set it to run in compatibility mode for “Windows 95”. Once downloaded, open the zip folder and copy the WAI元2.dll into the ASSETS folder, overwriting the existing one. Download the zip file here (link broken? Let me know here). If you do not, you will either not be able to hear any sound effects, or find the game will freeze after a few seconds. First of all, you are going to need to apply this unofficial patch/update to one of the games files. Patching and setting compatibilityįor a game designed to run on Windows 95, Earthworm Jim – Special Edition actually runs pretty well on modern versions of Windows, though there are some caveats. When you are finished, you should have two files and a folder called “ASSETS”, which contains the bulk of the games files. Now, copy the entire contents of the Earthworm Jim Special Edition CD-ROM into this directory.
Create a directory anywhere on your computers hard drive (C:\Games\EWJSE would be perfect, for instance). The game is actually designed to play directly from the CD, however we are going to need to copy the contents to our hard drive in order to update one of the games DLL files. This edition of the game for Windows 95 includes extra levels and improved graphics and animation and is considered by some players to be the definitive version. Nevertheless, Earthworm Jim was quite the star back in the 1990s, with videogames and even his own cartoon show. When it comes to cute, anthropomorphic animals for video game characters, the humble earthworm might not be the first creature that comes to mind.
