SH4 and Vista/Windows 7 Installation

AkbarGulag · 02-07-10, 06:55 PM

Just re-installed my rig with Windows7 64bit.

For those of you who try to port old game installs into a new OS, then good news. After re-install of windows 7, I found I needed to...

1/ Re-install JSGME (this allowed JSGME to locate a mods folder)
2/ Set JSGME to run with admin privelages. (Under JSGME.exe properties tab)
3/ Run SH4.exe
4/ re-configure options such as reality level, graphics options.
5/ Play.

Didnt even need to re-install any mods. No registry entries needed. Completed one patrol with no issues.
