I updated the pack and it's now fixed, the issue was RenderExt.dll which wasn't working well with dgVoodoo2, I reverted to the original Render.dll

I found a fork of Xidi that translates games to use SDL3, really useful especially to allow older games to have compatibility with a wide range of gamepads.

I'm not trying to throw shade at the person who did this, but before you guys get too excited, this is just the 2001 PC port with a generic fix wrapper (DxWrapper) included, and It wasn't properly installed either.

There's unecessary bloat and the dlls included aren't loaded by the game.

I got asked about making a repack of an abandonware game called Flying Heroes, which I never heard before.

It's a fantasy arena shooter relased in 2000 where you ride flying creatures, which looks cool.

Haven't played it much, but seems to be working fine, link bellow

There's now only 3 executables where you launch it for your derised aspect ratio

I decided to revisit this one as recently I found a way to make the game scale at any aspect ratio and resolutions without making the HUD small, it's now updated.
