Has anyone got it running on xp?

Howard_Casto:
It won't run on xp, or at least I'm pretty sure it won't. Too many retro games I'd actually want to play keep coming out for 7 and above. I've given up at this point... I'm going to build a new rig that runs 8 stripped of it's menus.

BadMouth:
Yeah, it needs at least directx10. I followed a couple tutorials online that supposedly added dx10 to XP.
When dxdiag was run, it would report that I was running dx10, but no dx10 game ever worked.

When I bought a $3 game at Ollies Bargain Outlet and it wouldn't run on XP due to requiring DX11, I decided it was time to move on.

Howard_Casto:
So I've played the game a lot at this point. I would say it's a fairly faithful port and the typing mode is actually surprisingly good.

One thing that annoys me is the menus have been re-done, for the worse. When you die you get the "you are dead" message with a very generic looking prompt to continue that for whatever reason is on the left side of the screen. My guess is they've done this in anticipation of 2 player mode... p1's stuff is on the left ect.... but in single player mode they should really have centered it. Also the intro and title screen from the Wii version is gone, which is strange because the video is still included.

From what I understand a very small team did this port under terrible circumstances, but issues are still issues.

The game supports both mouse and joystick support, but I think for our purposes the joystick support will have to be hacked via the troubleshooter. The joystick mode is relative, not absolute, so for joystick-based lightguns it wouldn't work. I'm still waiting on a cracked version that doesn't require steam before I start on this, as well as hacking the game to start in House mode instead of typing mode.
