SHIII 64bit Vista installation nightmare

iambecomelife · 03-25-09, 11:54 PM

I spent the past week tearing apart my machine multiple times due to the same issue. Now, I think the old lady's good to go, thanks to a dual boot.

SHIII works great with Vista 64
Two suggestions
1)get the new, patched, starfarce free DVD ($9.99) and forget about starfarce.
2)read:http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=217546 before you install.

Really no reason to do what just because of SH3. Except for the Starforce problem, which can easily be solved in a number of ways, it works on Vista and Windows 7 just as well as on XP.

Direct2drive! $9.95 and once it was dl'd (took a long time) it installed and I'm playing my game again. Vista 64 bit on the new system I bought really runs the game well.

Thanks for the advice and support.
