3. Install DxWnd
Download the latest version of DxWnd at https://sourceforge.net/projects/dxwnd/
Extract the .rar to C:\DxWnd and run DxWnd.exe
go to Edit --> Add and enter the following info:
Name: Spongebob Squarepants Employee Of The Month
Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\SpongeBob SquarePants\Employee of the Month\sb2.exe
In the mouse tab, set cursor visibility to Hide, and mouse clipper to LOCKED.
Click OK.
Now you should see a icon for the game. Minimize DxWnd and continue to the next step.
4. Installing dgVoodoo2
Download dgVoodoo2 from here.
Extract to C:\dgVoodoo2
Copy all dll files from the "...\MS\x86" sub-folder and paste it into C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\SpongeBob SquarePants\Employee of the Month\
5. Launching the game
The game has about a 27-ish% chance of actually launching.
Before launching, make sure DxWnd is running minimized, and that the game iso is mounted. (RECOMMENDED: Add DxWnd To Your Startup Programs.)
Start The Game Using The Shortcut on your desktop, start menu, or the one in the DxWnd Application.
If the game crashes after showing the DxWnd Banner, this is normal. This just means the game needs to be launched again. This may take 2-6 times.
The game should be running on your modern computer.
Title says it all.
As of today, September 8 2023, the variable Slot Pull has been revoked. It served as an unnecessary way to filter out runs and served no real purpose outside of a quick spectacle of a runners' luck. Positions of all current runs won't be affected by this change.
Happy running!
