Topic: SFC3 16bit Colour

[SeraphTC]

Hi All,

I'm trying to run SFC3 in windows 7 x64.  It's installed just fine.  However, unless I drop the colour settings down to 16bit on the desktop, the game kicks me out with an error.

Is there a way to avoid this?  It's a total pita to change to 16bit colour in win7, and to cap it off my system doesn't support 16bit colour in my default resolution, so I have to mess around with those settings as well.

I don't want to run the game in a VM, but I'd really like to be able to run it either windowed or full screen without having to drop the colour depth.  Compatibility settings don't seem to make any difference.

I'd appreciate any help anyone can offer - I haven't been able to find a solution to this by searching.

Thanks for reading!

On Win 7 x64 it should work fine even without compatibility settings (I've seen it on two different PCs).

Did you install anywhere other than "Program Files" ("Program Files x86" is fine)?

Did you install the 534b patch?

Hi Jan,

It's installed on a totally different disk to the OS - no permission issues there.

I have installed the 534b patch.

I'll probably try cleaning the whole install out and starting again.
