Update (10/01/2019): The only stable way to currently run the Mechwarrior 4 games is to run Windows XP on a virtual machine. I have tips on how to do this at the bottom of this tutorial.
Update (2/01/2019): I am working on a new tutorial for this post, I am going to update the work around to get these games working on windows 10 by using the Wine D3D DLLs. I am also updating the section on using game controllers in mechwarrior 4 as the Pinnacle Game Profiler doesn't seem to be working in the current windows 10 and the support forum on the Pinnacle website is shut down. Last I heard the software developer for Pinnacle died and they are trying to find a replacement for him. I have an alternative to pinnacle witch is free, vJoy+UJR, this will allow customization of both the axes and button mapping. This update will be coming soon.
Update (5/10/2018): For those of you who have been asking about getting Vengeance and Black Knights to work with the latest game patch, I am working on it, when I get them working I will update to tutorial to include the patch. Additionally the Clan and Inner-sphere Mech Packs no longer seem to be working on Windows 10, I am looking into a fix for this issue and I will post the fix as soon as I have it.
Update (5/9/2018): I added some additional tips to the 'Troubleshooting' section of the tutorial. Also, Game Ranger is the only stable way I have found to get Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries to work in online multiplayer. Vengeance and Black knight do not work in online multiplayer and they do not work with Game Ranger. If you want to play online, you will have to use game Ranger with Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries.
Update (4/26/2018): Alternate download links have been posted in the 'Download the Mechwarrior 4 Game Files' section of the tutorial for Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries MekTek MP3.1.
Update (4/26/2018): The download links for Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries MekTek MP3.1 is currently down, I am working on a new source for the game files. I will have a new set of links posted ASAP.
Update (4/20/2018): I fixed the issue of the joystick function crashing the game when I start Vengeance or Black Knight. Both are working with the joy stick now. You can delete the /gosnovideo switch from the target line in the shortcut file.
Update (4/16/2018): Game Ranger will only work with Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries MekTek MP3.1 release #51.03.01.0030c. Vengeance and Black Knight will not work with Game Ranger. This is due to the way Game Ranger executes the .exe files for the games.
I have also added installation instructions for the Clan Mech Pack and the Inner Sphere Mech Pack for Mechwarrior 4: Vengeance/Black Knight.
Update (4/15/2018): I have updated this tutorial with the latest fixes to get all of the mech warrior 4 games working on windows 10.

Online Multiplayer
If you want to play Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries online you can find hosted game servers using Game Ranger. Currently Game Ranger is the only way I know of to get this game running stable while playing multiplayer. If you don't like using Game Ranger then you're SOL.
Vengeance and Black knight currently don't work in online multiplayer or with Game Ranger.
I got my Thrustmaster T.flight HOTAS X to work with Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries MekTek MP3.1 with the Pinnacle Game Profiler software. I uploaded the controller button assignment profile to the Pinnacle Game Profiler Forum where you can download it and try it out for your self. You should be able to make this profile work on other flight stick HOTAS controllers if you reassign the button control functions to the layout of your HOTAS controller. If you take some time to learn how to use this program you can even remap my button profile to work on an Xbox or PlayStation controller. You can watch some tutorial videos for the Pinnacle Game Profiler here.
Troubleshooting
How To Install Mechwarrior 3 On Windows 10
If your graphics card is to advanced for the game you might get an error message stating that your hardware is incompatible. This is common with people who have newer Nvidia graphics cards. I know of a fix for Mechwarrior 4: mercenaries MekTek MP3.1. Go to the installation folder 'C:Program Files (x86)Mechwarrior Mercenaries - Mektek MekpakAssetsBinaries'. Now locate the file titled imagehlp.dll. Right click on it and select Rename. Change the file name ti this imagehlp.dll.backup. This will disable the .dll file that is causing the issue for Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries MekTek MP3.1. For Vengeance and Black Knight you can try using DXwnd, mechvm, dosbox, or dgVoodoo2 programs as instructed in HattedSandwich's tutorial here and CaptainWabbit's tutorial using DXwnd here. These are essentially a graphics emulator that launches the game in a wrapper. I have had success using dgvoodoo2 and DXwnd to get old games to work on newer windows operating systems, though it does take some time tinkering with the settings.
If your having issues with patching the games with the files from my downloads try uninstalling the game and reinstalling then instead of using the 2.0 patch file for vengeance, use the black knight install disk to patch to 2.0. If that doesn't work try downloading the patch here, then grab the cracked NoCD .exe file for your game here. drag and drop the NoCD .exe file into your install directory and replace the original .exe file when prompted. Remember that every time a patch fails you should uninstall and reinstall before trying a different patch file.
If you have fallowed my tutorial, tried my troubleshooting tips, and the games still won’t work, you will have to try installing the games on a Windows XP operating system. There are several ways you can do this…
This tutorial is the accumulation of three years of me researching, troubleshooting, hacking, cracking, and banging my head into my keyboard over and over again.

Welcome to the Eridani Light Horse, one of the premier outfits in the Inner Sphere. Your job is to assist with the eradication of the Smoke Jaguar Clan. Use any means necessary and any means at your disposal. Any questions? Good.
MechWarrior 3 is a quantum upgrade on all fronts from the excellent MechWarrior 2, which is saying quite a bit. The tremendous attention to detail in the graphics, gameplay and virtually every other aspect makes this one of the best games of the 1990s, let alone 1999. It is the graphics that will initially grab you and pull you in. Flowing landscapes and wonderful animation are all well and good but MechWarrior 3 goes one better. Shoot off an enemy 'Mech's leg and you'll see the pieces go flying as the enemy crashes to the ground. Drop a Smoke Jaguar tank and you'll marvel at the intricate explosion. This is good stuff.
But graphics only go so far in terms of making a game good. Fortunately for giant robot fans, MechWarrior 3 has it in other areas where it counts as well. Gameplay is initially difficult thanks to the incredibly complex control scheme. After the training missions, though, things smooth out quite a bit. It's much easier with a good multi-button joystick but MechWarrior 3 can be played successfully using nothing more than the keyboard and mouse. The packed-in reference card is a handy and useful addition.
You will need a decent system in order to run the game smoothly. If you've got the muscle in your system, you'll be rewarded with a game that is visually stunning. However, systems with a little less power can run it also and, even toned down, it looks better than a lot of similar games.
The only real complaint I have is in the tutorial section. Regardless of what I did at certain points, the tutorial would not continue. I would do exactly what was asked and nothing would happen. This sort of problem did not occur in the actual campaign game, though, so it's not serious enough that you should consider passing on the game.
There is a patch available for MechWarrior 3 that addresses many of the problems that were unfortunately present in the initial release. One issue that has been corrected is the unbalanced impact certain weapons had on the flow of the game. The adjustments now make it more difficult for 'Mechs to fall after taking leg damage. Another problem solved is the needed increase in movement of torso twist when using the mouse as the controller.
Other features of the patch include fixes of sound problems (crackling and popping noises eliminated), tightening of environmental locations so players will no longer jump jet through ceilings or fall through the terrain and certain 'Mech movement problems. In multi-player mode, latency has been improved, an option for up to eight players in Team Play is now supported at the MSN Gaming Zone, leg armor has been improved and the chat glitch that appeared after saving your 'Mech configuration has been fixed. Full details of all patch issues are included in the patch 'readme' file and at the various gaming sites.
MechWarrior 3 is the type of game that caused many of us to start gaming in the first place. It is nearly a perfect blend of action and strategy, dedicated battle planning and seat-of-the-pants improvisation on the battlefield, adrenaline pumping fury and cool resolve. Miss this one and you miss one of the best and most satisfying gaming experiences available.
Graphics: If you've got the power to play it, it will knock your socks off. Incredible attention to detail.
Sound: Good and evocative but the music doesn't always seem to fit.
Enjoyment: It's tough but even when you get your butt kicked, you'll be having fun.

Replay Value: The multi-player opportunities and quick action missions give it some life after you complete the campaign.
