Considering the game is still for sale on GOG and Steam, I would expect it to have no speed issues, or at least no unpatchable ones.

(On that note, you should presumably be able to get it to run on any modern PC, if you wanted to.)

I run it on a q6600

Here's how I installed it on my 64bit Win8.1 machine (now upgraded to Win10, so should be similar/the same procedure). My signature has my system spec. None of this may be necessary if you're on 32bit (apart from step 4).

1. Copy CD-ROM contents to folder on PC

2. Copy setup32.exe from Is3Engine.zip to the INSTALL sub-folder (from http://toastytech.com/files/setup.html)

3. Run setup32.exe to install

4. Install 1.21 patch (Google for it)

5. Update registry strings in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/LucasArts Entertainment Company LLC/Rogue Squadron/v1.0/ - change Analyze Path to CD drive (e.g E:\INSTALL\SysCheck.exe), change CD Path (e.g. E:), change Source Dir CD-ROM drive letter (e.g. E:\), Source Path to CD-ROM drive letter without the slash (e.g. E:)

NOTE: Game will crash after each level in Glide mode, just reload it (I haven't tested with newer Glide wrappers, things may have improved!).

Alternatively there's other fix guides like this one: http://www.play-old-pc-games.com/2014/10/01/s … rogue-squadron/

I plan to have my 2.8GHZ Prescott machine out later to finish up some stuff I was working on. I guess I'll throw a Rogue Squadron test on the to do list and report back. I have a machine with a 3.6GHZ Northwood but I think the GMA950 on it (USFF Form factor machine) would bottleneck preventing any useful results. Just tell me if you still want a test on that piece of crap, I just can't give any promises the test would be of any use.

IMO, this is a game that is perfect for a Super Socket 7 machine and its FSB manipulation tricks.
