  1. Does anyone know if this release fixes the probe/base issues in X-COM interceptor?
  2. Have you tried Microsoft VM? I know that VM2007 is a free download now. I havn't used any others so far, my machine has been down since early december. Just now got anouther one togather.
  3. I am getting some occasional flicker on the laptop in the strategic screens, but its pretty stable in the cockpit. This is on a dell d510 1.5Ghz celeron 512Mb ram XP SP2 Also If you really want to play in 3d accelerated mode you can set up a "shared folder" between the operating systems and copy your save back and forth. I think, havn't tried it yet. I'm going to try to test some more stuff this weekend depending on if I have to work. Here is the link to MS VPC2004 http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/default.mspx Also you do need install disks for whatever OS your trying to emulate. Edit 7/31/06: If your OS seems to studder a bit don't worry once the game starts it smooths out. Also the xcom 1 and 2 both have severe color problems under 98 emulation on the dell laptop. Havn't tested on desktop. I'm going to try xcom:APoc tonight under 98 emulation. Could someone tell me how these three games work under XP Its been awhile since i played them and i'm pressed for time right now. I seem to rember 1 and 2 worked ok. not sure about apocalypse. Also it is easy to cut and past your save folder from one os to another (just in-case it runs alot smoother under xp)
  4. Which version of dosbox? .65? Are you using a front-end. Did you upgrade the os or reinstall?
  5. VM2004 running under XP will solve the Probe/base not showing up issue in XCOM:Interceptor. VM is now a free download on the MS website. Just search download section. Will take up about 700Mb on HDD with 98 and Interceptor installed. I was also running dx9 It will not support 3d acceleration though. I havn't had a problem even when running on a laptop. Just make sure you have a lot of ram (512 total. I gave VM 98 about 196Mb) I did a search before I posted this so if its a duplicate I apologize. I havn't had the chance to test with other xcoms yet.
