I've tried and had no luck getting Omikron: The Nomad Soul to work in a satisfactory way.
-I tried with my new computer with ATI graphics, and the best I can get is direct x, running smoothly - but with highly obstructive artefacts as a result of the fog (I assume so since it matches the fog's colour) and software mode is simply way to slow.
-On my brother's computer who has NVIDIA graphics, and it's the same obstruction but filling in the entire screen.
-On virtualPC, but only software mode works and the keys log sometimes.
-On virtualbox, thinking that since it had directx 3d support and win98 support i could have both at once but I was wrong.. and it's slow anyway..
-Haven't tried VMware.. is that my solution?
Plus it's not just this, there are a lot of games I can't enjoy to the full because of this. I don't mind a challenge, I've got games like thief 2 and system shock 2 to work PERFECTLY (the 2 most challenging to date) but when I just CAN'T run it on win 7 this is where I need other plans.
If I can't find a solution here I'll just wait to the holidays and see if I can put together a legacy computer, but I REALLY don't want such a good excuse to have yet more junk laying around my room.
