Download the program

Go to the download page and download a version of the program for your operating system.

Installing

Windows

As of Virtual Paradise version 0.2.10 installing a separate runtime is no longer necessary. Just unzip the files and run VirtualParadise.exe.

OpenGL mode

The following OpenGL extensions are required for VP to work:

• GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object
• GL_ARB_frame_buffer_object

Direct3D mode

The Direct3D mode has a dependency on Direct3DX, the required version of this library(d3dx9_42.dll) is not installed by default on any recent Windows version. To install the required files you can run the following installer from the Microsoft website: DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer

When VP has its own installer this could be installed automatically.

Mac OS X

Mac OS X users only have to open the disk image and copy the program to the Application folder.

Linux

Ubuntu Linux

Double clicking the package file from the file manager and clicking the install button should work.
