The dxmci patch would most certainly have to be customized for the SFA, it cannot work the way it is now. But I don't have the game (only CD version) so I can't say how hard it is (or if it's even possible) to make it work. Microsoft Knowledge Base has SFA on the list... yeah..I forgot to change …

Pressing this button yields no error message, no movie, no nothing, the game just goes on as if you didn't click …

Other games that had Reelmagic versions were "Man Enough" and possibly "Police Quest 4". You can't get the standard versions of these games to run on Reelmagic. There was a special version of each game created with higher quality video that used the Reelmagic board.
