When i ran the game with rebuilder, the game would launch but there would just be a black screen.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
(dgvoodoo2 2.53 installed)

Me too. Launch the game by the game's own shortcut is fine, but launch by the Rebuilder just gives a black screen. I'm now fiddling stuff to fix this issue.

I have comeback and using the old version of the Rebuilder still launch into the game just fine with cutscenes, except missing some quirks like the Quit function fix.

did you try it without dgvoodoo?

Black screen here too, thought it might have been a Wine issue but I don't think y'all are using Linux.

EDIT: I actually do get a crash dialogue from Wine though, here's the backtrace.

Yes, I'm using Windows 11.

Here's it is after trying to run without 2Voodoo:

I delete all the Voodoo files like D3D9.dll except d3drm.dll. Run the game by the rebuilder and the game looks like this. Note that I enable Draw 3D to Video Memory and Flip Video Memory Pages. Not sure that those do.

Currently I can play the game without the Rebuilder, with 2Voodoo and run the game using Window XP compatibility which fix the quit function, but the turning is very janky.

To run in software mode, you should set it to "RGB Emulation". This is a common presentation of "Ramp Emulation" which was broken in Windows 10 1809.

Thank you so much! After many tries, with 2Voodoo and below settings, finally I can play Lego Island nicely without those fast turns!

Here is the screenshot to show its really working!

And you really need 2Voodoo to make this work, or else this happen. The cursor got dislocated in this screenshot.

Unfortunately I don't have "RGB Emulation" as an option, only Direct3D HAL and Direct3D HEL, neither of which allow me to launch the game.

While I couldn't get Rebuilder to work on its own with a vanilla Wine install, the Lutris installer still works.

Your issue isn't really related since you're getting a crash. Are you using the official D3DRM.DLL? Wine's is incomplete and cannot be used to play this game.

I was not, I just saw the Linux/Mac section of the readme and assumed I didn't need anything extra. I'll give that a try.

Ahh you're right, it probably should mention that.

For you, "Direct3D HEL" is the equivalent of "RGB Emulation" (both are software modes), though HAL (hardware) should work and probably look a little better too.
