Fair point - and as somebody whose done work in Rust (which distinctly doesn't support xp well) I understand what you're saying. Bgt however, does support xp - or should - and I'd like to be able to take advantage of that.

Has been out of any sort of support for several years now.

That said, it still works just fine for a lot of things as long as you're careful, and plays some games significantly better (like GMA). So yeah, I'd like the ability to play games on xp, because it lets me use my xp machine as a gaming focused box when I want to, and makes me free to switch between computers more easily without having to judge what I can and can't do with any one of them.

I managed to find a little hack to get past the "not a valid windows 32" application" error messages. I was successfully able to play and finish Manomon, the gate, and even do a few missions in psychostrike. However, I realise that playing the bad guy didn't really sit well with me, but I digress. With your permission, I was wondering if it would be OK if I either upload the patched executables to my webspace, or sent the patches to Aaron so that he could repackage them in his games? I'm sure there are still a few XP users out there who would dearly love to have a try at these titles. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
