1, Copy this to a text file.

2. Search for "<user_account>"

3. Anywhere you see "<user_account>" in this script, replace that with your user account name.

4. Save file as <game_name>.bat

5. Run and enjoy. You may need to alter the shortcut path at the end of the script to match where your shortcut is, or better, just follow the scripts suggestion

So I did all of what you told me to do, but it still doesn't work and crashes for me after the sega screen, could it be possible that it won't work on win11?

Please help, when I run the file I keep getting an error so i checked app data and found out that preferences.script file was missing. Found one online, and copied it to the location. The Game still crashes and anytime i run the batch file you created, i keep getting an error as you can see in the image. if you can give me a copy of your preferences.script config file as well, I'd be grateful

I didnt have that issue. It looks like the preferences.script is saving as preferences.script.txt though. You would definitely need to fix that.

I got this to work for my system and shared from that only. I dont really have any additional information that would be of any use. If the above suggestion doesnt work, then I would go through the script and make sure you haven't missed any spots in it that need required input. I would reinstall the game again to see if you generate your own preferences.script as well.
