Loading SFC II on Windows Vista 64 bit
« on: May 20, 2009, 06:18:32 pm »
I have been playing SFC II on a Windows XP machine but no longer have the machine (both game and machine belonged to a friend) well I got addicted to the game.  My own machine is a Toshiba Satellite  with 4gb 800mhz of sdram with AMDTurion duel core running Windows Vista 64 bit edition and am looking to buy my own SFC II game. I was advised that it will not run on Windows Vista 64 bit. I am not looking to play on line but I love to do the skirmish and campaign mode only. Is there a step by step procedure out there that a non-tech person like myself can handle to make SFC II compatible with Vista 64 bit? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I moved your question here to get more exposure. (the feedback board is for website/ forums issues).

I do not have Vista64 myself so I can't help much.

Have you tried it yet? Just jump in and give it a go and see what you get, let us know here and we'll help if we can!

P.S. I have a Toshiba Satellite myself setup for multibooting Vista HP / Windows XP / Kubuntu and I can point you in that direction if you want.
