Usage

Make patch file

• Open PopcapPatches.exe
• Backup original game exe file
• Click Open file to select the game file
• Click Patch to get a patched file
• Replace original game file with patched file

Clean up registry

• Open Windows Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PopCap\<Game Name>
• Remove Test3D key

Modify config

• Backup compat.cfg in game folder (if there is, or you can skip this step)
• Open it with any text editor
• Find all functions about 3D and resolution, like Is3DSupported, Is3DRecommended, IsHighResSupported or IsUltraResSupported
• Let them just return true

Example:

function(bool) Is3DSupported
{
	if ((compat_D3DVendorID == VENDOR_SIS) || (compat_D3DVendorID == VENDOR_MATROX))
	{
		log("Returning Is3DSupported false due to SIS or Matrox hardware");
		return false;
	}

	// Nowadays any other hardware within our minspec range should be okay for 3D
	return true;
}

will become:

function(bool) Is3DSupported
{
	return true;
}

• Finally save the config file and run game

popcap-patches's Issues

Does this patch work for Zuma Deluxe?

Title says it all. I want to know if the patch works for Zuma Deluxe.

You did mentioned a Zuma game in your list. It is called Zuma's Revenge.However, it is not the same as Zuma Deluxe. Zuma Deluxe is the first game in the series. I think Zuma's Revenge is a sequel. You did not mention the first game in your list. My gut tells me it should work but I thought it would be clever to ask you first. Could you please help me out?

Waiting for your reply.

No match in data for Zuma's Revenge Origin version

I have the Origin version of Zuma's Revenge and the tool doesn't find any matches.

exe: https://www.mediafire.com/file/siluf6tpex53v64/ZumasRevenge.exe/file

Bejeweled Twist (JP), no match in data

This variant of the game is odd, as modifying compat.cfg, doesn't help fix 3D-Acceleration/HighRes, meaning the game executable must be modified to fix this problem on modern computers, however, the tool does not find any matches. Can you look at this version of the game if possible? Thanks. The game also doesn't detect my graphics driver.

BejeweledTwist.exe (remove .txt)

Peggle Deluxe Steam not working

Zuma's Revenge not working

I own the disc version of the game and it doesn't seem to be working

Chuzzle has no match in data

Peggle Deluxe Cant be both Full Screen and 3d Accelerated

When trying to go full screen the game blips but does nothing, If you turn 3d acceleration off it works though

HiRes Mode not activated but 3D-Acceleration works fine (Zuma's Revenge)

I've done all the steps and it only accepts the 3D-Acceleration. It asks "Not recommended blabla" i press yes but after a game restart it's deactivated again.

[Unable to load Steam.dll Error] Peggle Deluxe and Peggle Nights Steam Version

I encountered the above error after patching the original Steam versions of the application files for Peggle Deluxe and Peggle Nights, is there any way to fix this?

What does it mean for "Too many matches in data"

Here's the error image for proof.

This happens in some versions of the PopCap games but not all.
