SH4 at Windows 2000 possible ?

[Bernd]

hello to U-Boat commanders,
small question: is there any possibility to run SH4 (with patches) under Win2k OS ?
Because I don´t want to keep my WinXP partition clean of games installed...

Thank you for your tipps in advance and always 100 feet water under your keel...

Well, don't curse me if it doesn't work for you.

But I do run SH4 in Windows 2000 sp 4. I'm only running version 1.3 with respective mods NSM, RSRDC II, and Peto's Extended Depth Charge mod.

I haven't tried 1.4 because that patch bumped up the visual distance to 20 kilometers, and I'm not sure this old machine can handle that.

So no guarantees.......... but there it is.

I can't answer - but best of luck. Either way - welcome aboard!

I've run SH3 + GWX 2.0 as well as SH4 + U-Boot expansion pack + TMO quite happily on W2000 Pro, so you should have no OS-caused problems whatsoever.

No problem. Piece of cake until ctd. Then you'll know for sure.

So many questions I could ask.

1. Rig specs.
2. Programs running in background. ect, ect...

Anyhoo Good Luck.

...because at first I red the tip some days before at this forum that you always install the DVD included version of DirectX (9.0c).

This, your tips and confirmation and in addition the specs of my next month finished system:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ 90nm/89W 3.0 GHz TRAY
Zalman Cooler
2GB RAM DDR2-800 Excelram
500W Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT
Gainward GeForce 8600 GT Bliss 1024MB 2xDVI
2x500GB S-ATA

will be available SH4 with MODs installed, I hope. :yep:
