A few problems I'm having with SH3

3) should be SH3\data\sound\gramophone
just copy whatever you want to listen to in that gramophone folder and turn on the gramohpone in-game via the radio operator

Hope it solves the problem

thanks for the help guys,

@ Gargamel I've heard about GWX but never bothered to look into what it was, I'll check it out.

Update: I'm downloading GWX 3 gold right now. A rather large file, ought to be good from what I'm hearing. One question though, will it effect my frames per second in any way? My pc is virtually powered by a little hamster running in a wheel is why i'm asking.

GWX was specifically designed not to be overly demanding on systems that already met the recommended specs for stock SH3. So chances are good that you will not see too much drop-off in performance (if any). You will probably see increased loading times, but most people that could run stock okay don't seem to have any problems running GWX once it loads.

Every system is different though, so let us know if you run into any snags. You could also post your specs and see if anything jumps out at the resident gurus as potentially problematic.

Remember on installing GWX 3,
Make sure you direct it to the proper Steam Folder where your SH3.exe is located!
This step throws alot of Steam Users.

Also, for a proper install?
Make sure the volume is turned up!

I ran GWX 3 on a Notebook with a 1.8 Single core,
2 gig Ram and a ATI with 128 megs

Infact? there was a lot of development done on that Notebook!
And the installer also!

First off I'm proud to announce that issue three has been solved, turns out my pc has two sh3 folders, guess which one i originally put my mp3s into.

(it wasn't the steam one if you guessed that)

I'd like to thank Betonov for helping me solve this problem

Some people here asked for my specs so..... no clue if I did this right or even got the right info so bare with my Americanized idiocy.

My Specs, read em & weep

Similar experience here...

Downright amazing how undemanding it can be. Not that I'm complaining mind you.
