Running SH3 on an EeePC?
 
Hi!

Has anybody tried running SH3 on an EeePC 1000 or similar netbook?
Any luck?
I've been apprehensive to try because from what I'm told if I try make an ISO of my disc Starforce will cause my DVD-Drive to spontaneously combust and signal the black helicopters to my location for kidnapping and probing. :o

I really wish I knew where my SH1 disc ran away to... :nope:

Cheers, Luke

The only thing you have to fear, is fear itself. :DL

That said, Doe's it have the specs and power to play SH-3 ?

i think it would work. i have an eee 900 and i think it would be marginal for me but for you it would be ok. as far as starforce, i think you're on your own. i don't think the moderators here like us to recommend anything else.

Possibly, possibly not. I've got some 3D games running okay but they're a little older than SH3.

It runs Sub Command but not Dangerous Waters, it'll run Ghost Recon 1 No one Lives Forever 2 and supposedly SH2 but I don't really want to bother with it.

A 1000 is basically a 900 in a bigger chassis so if it works/doesn't for one i'd imagine it would ('nt) for the other.
I personally am not really interested in starforce controversies, SH3's been on my PC for years with no probs but I only just started tinkering with ISO creation and stuff recently and don't want to FUBAR my PC :)

Say, are there any online stores like GOG.com and Steam that sell SH1? I had a copy of SH1CE but don't know where its gone, and it is probably the first ever game i've lost...Weird...

Thanks for the ideas anyway guys!
