I have a 32 bit version of Vista and it runs SH4 perfectly and I have never had an issue. I switched out my main board and put in 8 gigs of ram but a 32 bit system will only see 4 gigs.

If I upgrade to a 64 bit Vista version will I still be able to play SH4?:up:

Yes I enjoy the program enough to lose my 4 gigs of ram if I could not play it on a 64 bit system.:sunny:

:k_confused:

I think the answer is yes. I play SH4 on a MacPro with Win 7 under Bootcamp. My system is 64 bit. Don't know much about Vista but don't see why it would different than Win 7 regarding running in 64 bit.

Win7 64-bit here, no problems....

But you will need to download 64-bit 7zip to unzip mods.

I ran it with 64 bit Vista with no problems. I now have 64 bit Windows 7.

I have Windows Vista 64 bit and have been running SH4 on it since I first got the PC years ago. I have had no issues whatsoever. Have never even had to reinstall SH4 either. It's still the original install.:up:

Been running on Vista x64 since 2008. Just don't load the game into the default ProgramsFile location.

Make a separate Games folder to load it in. If you have a second hard drive load it on that one.

Also, Vista is very easy to configure to look and behave almost like XP, which made the transition easier than when I went from Win 98SE to XP. Talk about a culture shock!
