Running SH4 on a laptop/notebook

[THE_MASK]

Anyone run SH4 on a laptop with full graphics . ATI X1700 512 meg graphics,2 gig of DDR2 667 ram,Core Duo T5500 1.66Ghz (Cache: 4Mb L2/FSB: 667Mhz).

I'm running SH4 on a MacBook Pro (in BootCamp) with 2.33 GHz Core 2, 3GB of RAM, and a 256MB ATI X1600 on XP SP2.

I can't run it with full detail, Medium is the highest I can go for a decent framerate when on the bridge and looking around...

I'm running it on a HP Pavilion 1.75ghz 2 gig Ram ATI X200,Unfortunately my graphics card is not up to snuff,but there is some hope for us Laptop lovers check this out

what will they think of next

I'm running SH4 on a Dell XPS M1710 laptop -2 GHZ Core 2 Duo, GeForce Go7950 GTX 512mb, 2GB ram, Vista Business. I can run the game with everything maxed out with no problems. I did have to turn Environmental Effects off, but will have it back on once Ubi fixes the EE Monolith of FPS death bug.

I am running SH4 1.1 on a Dell Precision Workstation M65 laptop, 1.8GHz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 256MB nVidia Quadro graphics card. I have the game running on 1920x1200 resolution. I have all the fog and reflection effects turned off and the game runs really well. I also have the ship damage, and particle effects on full.

What's the point of running all the 'special' effects when you spend 90% of the time either underwater or on the Map screen in Time Compression mode? Also, you don't benefit from the nice effects when you also have the Event Camera and External Camera turned off. :o

Fujitsu N3530 with 2 gig RAM, 1.83 core duo processor, X1400 Mobility Radeon. So far I am not having much trouble running the game.

That is awesome. I would definitely be up for purchasing that. It would be perfect for home use. Thanks for the info.

Kind of related....

My work laptop doesn't have the guts to run SH4 , so I installed SH3 on it. Its a Lenovo T60. How do you Zoom the periscope, deck gun etc without a mousewheel? I tried changing the setting for the Ultranav to no avail, the middle button on this laptop cannot be setup as a mousewheel.

Interesting that my core duo dell inspiron actually loads the game faster than my pentium 4 desktoop (almost twice as fast) but it can't handle the game with environmental effects, etc.

- core duo 1.83 GHz, 2 gig, ATI X1400

Am running the game with almost full effects on my desktop and liking it, so all is good. :arrgh!:

I think I will try as someone suggested here: go full realism on the laptop and turn off everything that you can't see when you're inside your sub anyway.

You can use the TAB key to zoom in/out or most laptops have a scroll bar on the side of the mouse pad,that's what I use.

Do any of you laptop users have a problem with the "+" and "-" keys not working:damn: for time compression?

Can you bind a key??

thanks

Clover,
Use SetKeys1.3 to do this; or turn on your keypad with the fn key+

Irish,

I am sorry to say that I do not understand the "fn key +" solution. Not sure if this is what your saying, but there is no Numerical Pad on my Dell E1705.

Thanks for your help,

P.S.--My surname is of Irish lineage.

You guys just made me feel a lot better. I promised myself a new computer once this game came out because I knew my old system wouldn't be able to handle it. I ordered a new Dell XPS M2010 2.33ghz Core 2 Duo with 4g of memory and a 256mb ATI Radeon X1800 graphics card. I was hope'n it would run the game close to max. Can wait to get it in now. I've had the game set'n on the shelf for 3 days and it's kill'n me.
