Playable on Windows 10
I am using the version of Gangsters Organized Crime from GOG.
Problem
The problem with Gangsters Organized Crime is that when the game starts on Windows 10 all the buttons are blank.
Solution
After some troubleshooting I was able to figure out that DDrawCompat was able to partially fix this issue. It was able to restore the text to the buttons however there were still a few problems. First of all 'gangsters.exe' only loaded the system 'ddraw.dll' and I was unable to get it to load the local 'ddraw.dll'. After running Process Monitor I found out that 'dsound.dll' could be used for this if I hooked the 'ddraw.dll' API's. However, a second problem was that DDrawCompat only hooked the DirectDrawCreate and DirectDrawCreateEx API's but for Gangsters Organized Crime the DllGetClassObject API needed to be hooked also (see this thread for more details).
The third problem was that all the other the text on the game (besides the button text) was black, which meant that it blended into the background and was almost undecipherable. For this I had to make some changes in the Fullscreen option of DxWrapper to refresh the screen each time a new page was loaded (see this code change here).
After applying these fixes the game works pretty good on Windows 10. There are a couple of minor issues, such as: 1) the screen will flash briefly after switching pages, 2) during the configuration of the game the scroll bars remain fixed in place and don't refresh after their value changes and 3) the courser icon looks too large when using display custom scaling options (see Menu misalignment on G:OC fix #4). I may look into fixing these issues later.

How to use the trainer:
In very simple terms, download the trainer, use WinRAR to open the file, extract the .exe file (which is the trainer of course). Start the game, then press ALT + Tab on your keyboard to minimize the game window, now go to where you extracted the trainer exe, double click it, when the trainer starts you will be presented with the options such as unlimited ammo, god mode, no reload etc. Each one of these options will have a 'Hotkey' associated with it, this HotKey or keyboard key is the keyboard key you must press when in game to activate and use this particular option, so click back into the game by clicking on the game tab in the task bar, when back in the game press the Hotkey to activate one of the options. Always read the .nfo / readme that comes with a trainer (or by clicking the Info button when you run the trainer) to check if there any special instructions.
Common problems when using a trainer:
- False virus/trojan alerts: It rarely happens, but if your Antivirus program gives a warning, it is a FALSE POSITIVE! The file is NOT a virus or trojan, because of the way a trainer operates, by running in the games memory and the trainer using hotkeys often a virus scanner detects this as suspicious activity and flags it as a virus or trojan that will harm your PC. It is harmless! E-mailing me and abusing me that files on the site are viruses/trojans is wasting both your time and my time, why would I upload viruses and trojans when these same files reside on my own computer, this would be a bit risky for me wouldn't you think? If your virus scanner gives a warning for a trainer and your still not sure, don't use the trainer, using any of the files from GamePatchPlanet is done so at your own risk as stated in the Disclaimer.
- Compatibility problems: Trainers that were made for older games that ran under Windows 95/Windows 98/Windows 2000 etc. will often not run when your using a newer version of Windows OS. To fix this, right click the trainer .exe and choose Properties, then change the compatibility mode.
Some trainers only work when you are running Windows as admin.

- Game & Trainer versions: When looking for a trainer please take note that the trainer version must match your game version, patch updates will alter memory addresses and will make a trainer redundant for that version more often than not. Usually when someone complains a trainer is not working for them 99% of the time it is as simple as the trainer version being different to their game version.

- Trainer options confusion: Some people often say that they count the trainer as having 8 options but itis only listed as a +6 trainer on the site or by the author, the reason for thisis quite simple and also a scene standard for some time, having an option that simply turns off or returns a value to normal is not included, the same applies for ateleportation system, e.g. Save Position, Teleport, Undo Teleport, because theyare the same option they are only listed as 1 option. Long ago however every single option was included, even if it was a turn on/turn off option, that's why you will see trainers for some older games being listed with more options.

- Additional trainer information: When game trainers first started appearing they consisted of only a few Bytes of data, this gradually grew to a few KB and then a few hundred KB as the trainer GUI became more visually appealing and trainer makers incorporated images into the trainers GUI. However, in recent years game trainer sizes have increased into several MB of size and people are not often sure why such a small program is in the several MB of size, naturally people are suspicious of its contents believing something nasty is packed in there (which can happen if you download from a non-reputable site) the reason they are larger in size is because people began stealing other peoples trainer contents and repacking it as their own, so trainer makers started using DRM to protect their work and prevent trainer theft.
