Considering SH4

I read all those tips you guys mention for SH3, point is they work for some people, but by far not for all, and there is hardly a pattern to be perceived.

[grandfather mode on] I have manged to get SH3 running without Starforce long before some of you had become board members.

[grandfather mode off]

The Amazon links set up by Neal automatically link you to the stores that are nationally most matching for you. But somebody already said that.

On SH3, do a Google search for "SH3 and Windows 7 64", you then should see easily by the results that many people can not get it to run or even to install. Some do not knpw tzhe poissiubly tricks, and can be helped by telling them about Admin modes and UAC and dirtectories etc, but again: these things work only for some. For many, they do not. It's even wors eif you have a first egneratiuon copy of the game which still is starforce infested. I know how to get it runnign from that CD without Starforce ever reaching my HD. But installing it correctly under Win7Pro64 proved to be impossible. And I did not even come to the point where to try to bypass the follow-up installation of Starforce...

Anyhow, coming home from town I got myself a cheap copy of SH4, by AKtronic. Will try that tonight.

I strongly advise against playing the vanilla game. It will kill your inner child.
