Fair enough Zach. I just though this would be a helpful topic for many.
don't know what this nonsense about Vista still being BETA is, if that's your personal opinion that's fine, but it is a retail product
I'm referring to Steve Ballmer labeling Vista as “work in progress”
I dont want to make this a Vista debate, I'm glad you like it. Would be more helpful if you just gave a list of emulators you know work on it. I'm not just referring to running but any emulator you have ran and played a few games with. But ya, if everything works its not much good then. Most people dont have that much luck with newer products from Microsoft. For example I read a lot of complaints about HID's and Vista. This would be a good thread for that resolution. If anything else this could be a good thread to inspire others to try vista. Again I mean for this to help, not debate.
Here are a few more notes I read about.
ZSNES - either need to have administrator's privilage or check off the run in compatibility mode (XP) through good old right-clicked property. ( ZSNES NOTE: on vista home basic, whenever i start it up it drains all my memory and when i go in and out of it in windowed mode i get stopped for about 5-10 seconds.)
FakeNES - works with Vista Home Prem. I just had to set the compatibility mode for XP SP2
EPSXE - some issue with the aspi layer (vista doesn't have one)
Fusion - works!
Virtualboy - works!
Project64 1.6 - works!
other notes
The new Daemon Tools - reported to fail after reboot on vista 64.
Sometimes I think people are to worried about there personal opinions to use this forum that way it was intended.
