how easy is it to get Mafia 1 to work on PC windows 10? i'm really tempted to fire it up but the idea of all the hassle to get it to work is off putting.
Actually it was super easy and supposed no brainer to get Mafia 1 worked on Windows 10!
I was in same situation years ago when I found out I cant run Mafia 1 on 64 bit Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1 because of issues with Indeo codec was 32 bit only, there was no 64 bit Indeo codec existed so everybody was stumped on this issue, same thing happened with Windows 10 too.
Until 2 weeks ago I decided to tried all the hassles to get Mafia 1 worked on Windows 10, I was browsed youtube and found someone managed to get Mafia 1 worked on Windows 10. I cant believed it was so really very simple no wondered so many people never thought about it and missed for around 10 years. When Mafia 1 setup installation started and it always pointed to destination folder C:\Program Files\Mafia, I tried that and C:\games\Mafia too but it still not worked. I watched the video the guy showed how Mafia worked on Windows 10 said Mafia must only installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mafia to get it worked properly on Windows 10. So I gave it a try and... WOW I cant believed it worked on 64 bit windows that I missed it after 10 years lots of hassles lol.
I don't needed Borderless Gaming app when I can used 1080p and 4K worked fine full screen in Mafia 1 without app. Mafia 1 worked much better with launch intros before reached main menu on Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode.
Completed Mafia 1 just a few days ago and now played through Mafia 2 in 4K maxed out, when complete it again and I will start play Mafia 3 first time at 1080p maxed out.
