xp128bit Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Does anyone know where to get or have the Vista beta games that were ported to XP (purble place etc), the 2005 builds. I remember downloading them before but now unable to find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. I'm not positive on 2005 but I know I have the 2007 XP-port for Vista's Chess, Shanghai (Mahjong), Solitaire, and Spider Solitaire. I'll dig through my archives as I suspect I may also have the 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotHereToPlayGames Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Try this -- https://www.dropbox.com/s/th8jdp8kok2966s/VistaGames_1.0.0.0_Addon.zip?dl=1 It's an "addon" for slipstreaming onto an XP install disk but just extract it then extract the games.exe inside and that should get you what you need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your build. It works for me using DirectX 9. Here are the games that are included: Chess Titans (doesn't run) FreeCell Hearts Minesweeper Purble Place Shanghai Solitaire Solitaire Spider Solitaire The installation is silent.

SC7601 Posted September 4, 2022 Share Posted September 4, 2022 Shorthorn Project has them. Go to "Ported Applications" and you'll see everything ported, including the games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a ton! The purble place here is the 2005 beta? How do I add them into the start menu though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
