LinksViper: I have been searching for any threads which may lead to getting LS 2000 to work on Win 10
Just out of curiousity, why are you so determined to get 2000 to work? I came up through all of the Links programs from 98 on and 2003 is by far the best of the lot. Was there something in 2000 that made it better?
We all evolved with the newer versions. From Links 2000 we went to 2001 and then 2003. It's not until you go back as I did, you can see that the older LS series had some major benefits. Here is a quick list of benefits off the top of my head from 2000 over 2003:
1. Cup physics. VASTLY superior in Links 2000. Best of any golf game by a mile imo.
2. General game play/physics are better in 2000.
3. Shadows. 2000 had superior shadows which extend over fairways and greens. 2003 has a shadow with a 12 o'clock sun. In other words, just a little patch of shadow directly under an object. Extended shadows as jn 2000 give courses the 3 dimensional appearance.
4. If you play tournaments and end in a tie, 2003 you just win. 2000 you go to playoff holes against the AI. Much more fun!
5. AI golfers in 2000 are superior.
6. 2000 uses a far simpler season/tournament mode. Much preferred by many people over the Links 2003 version.
