Blacksite / Jericho / Bioshock Windows 2000 fixes

Okay,i've tested some of the above games and heres how they worked out on Win2k and the following environment:
But attention,i have not played them through though,Only played a couple of hours!:
Windows2k SP4
CPU: XP M 2600@2,2GHz
RAM: 2GB DoubleDual DDR1 @200
Graphic: Gigabyte 6600 GT silent pipe
(GV-N66T128VP/128MB DDR3/Pixel Shader 3.0/Vertex Shader 3.0)
DirectX Nov2007
Ageia PhysX 7.11.13
Nvidia Forceware: 169.21


XP Games:
- BioShock -> Per Hansson Win2k Fix worked

- Crysis -> Per Hansson Win2k v1.0 Fix worked

- El Matador -> installed and worked fine with official El Matador Patch 1.1 worked

- Blacksite -> installed retail v1.2 fine but only works with fixed xinput9_1_0.dll (see here: Per Hansson Win2k Bio Shock Fix game starts with no error but Hardware Sound Acceleration Level in DxDiag must be set off or low.Also fixed xinput9_1_0.dll must also be copied to wnnt/system32 directory (you must make backups!) and to the game directory (overwrite existing one)!Other XP players complained about similar sound problems and performance issues.Problem might get fixed with next patch v1.3 worked

- Dark Messiah -> installed okay and worked fine with official 1.01 and after 1.02 Patch worked

- Jericho -> installed okay and worked fine (using SafeMode) worked

- The Witcher -> installed okay,Patches 1.1 and 1.2 installed but some loading problems didn't worked
a) (APILOADER)-Entrypoint 'heapSetInformation' in 'Kernel32.dll' error when starting the witcher.exe
b) Dynamic Link Library error within gdiplus.dll which can not be found in system32/system or system32\wbem
when starting launcher.exe
Solved the first problems by downloading and installing two dlls into the The Witcher game directory (where the launcher is stored) and also into the system directory: a) gdiplus.dll v5.1.3079.3 b) dbghelp.dll v5.1.2600.1106 from http://de.nodevice.com/dll/The game loads with a (APILOADER)-The procedure GetProcessId could not be located in the dll KERNEL32.dll Error.Its failing because there was Win32 API GetProcessId call which does not exist in kernel32.dll on Windows 2000.So this problem must be fixed first.

- Enemy Territory Quake Wars -> info at ETQW forum on how to install game.The retail version 1.0 works with OldCigarette wtsapi32 wrapper (source of wrapper included) worked

- Infernal -> installed okay and worked fine worked

- London Hellgate -> installed okay,Patch 0.6 SP installed,game loads but with API error.After copying dbghelp.dll v5.1.2600.1106 to main game and SP_x86 directory theres some "The procedure could not be located in the dll" Error. didn't worked

- TimeShift (Retail) v1.2 -> installed okay, game only works with dbghelp.dll in timeshift.exe game folder because of
"MiniDumpWriteDump" API error.Patch used: timeshift_update_all_versions_10_12.exe worked

- TimeShift (Demo) -> installed okay, game only works with mss32.dll and dbghelp.dll in timeshift.exe game folder worked

- Lost Planet: Extreme Condition (Demo DX9)-> problems with OS Check and installation,tested with fixed xinput1_1.dll + d9dx_33.dll,d3dx9.dll.Game crashes then after installation and starting without given detailed errors.Found out its because game needs CPU with SSE2!It wont run on Athlon XPs works on SSE2 CPUs and Win2k compatible motherboards and with fixed xinput3.dll in bin directory (*)working
