Hi!
I´m trying to run the game in my netbook so I can have the game in the background and work with my desktop ("why don´t you do it the other way around?", someone might ask, sensibly

. The poor little thing actually runs the game, but I can only get around 5fps. I´ve tried the lowest screen resolutions with a mod I found, but still no joy.
Is anybody aware of a mod that allows running SH3 in a slow PC? Something with really low-res textures or anything like that...

If there isn´t such a mod, could I use photoshop to lower the quality of the game textures? Any hint with this would be much appreciated. What should I change in a texture file so that it´s lighter AND the game can still use it?

Netbook specs:
Intel Atom 1,6Ghzx2
2Gb RAM
Embedded graphic card with 64mb (I think)

Thanks in advance!
