Playing FFR with Vista

[remedy1502]

What I did was I copied the entire thing with changed Cmods, then I made an entirely new file with the same file name and pasted it in there. That's what I do, but it takes so damn long if you wanna do it more than once lol.

EDIT: Hope you understand what I mean...

[lumphoboextreme]

lol something tells me im not going to be able to play arrow games anymore

Copy pasta from rebirth0
edit: added all .25 and .75 x mods and 6-10 x mods. and the .5's of 6-10

[remedy1502]

I'll try and write out a detailed thinger as to haw to change Cmods on Vista.
I'm not on Vista atm, but when I go on, I'll do it.

[LLaMaSaUceYup]

Thank you Izzy/Rebirth0, whoever.
For those speed mods, though, my list is rather large, just not this large.
Great!
Oh but wouldn't that mean that lumphobo would be able to get buy a real card?

OR just get XP lumph, you need to.
Your #1. ;p

[Quigly]

It doesn't really affect me that much...but of course I'm not that good where i can AAA lots of songs. I'm just happy with a FC.

[[TeRa]]

Lumph, move your stepmania folder to your desktop, or save the modified metrics to your desktop, then move it into stepmania. Vista doesn't allow you to put files into program files or something. You can change that though, to avoid this problem in the future, go into control panel on your computer and turn off admin authorization or something, I'm not sure exactly where to find it, being I turned that off about 9 months ago.

And Izzy, I have no problem with my MA on vista, nothing is different, I never changed the global offset or anything either.

With good players, an FC is never enough anymore. :P


It's a good thing I still have my XP PC intact. It works awesome with FFR, thanks to my sexy video card built in.

ya maybe you'll have some time to update your tournament

[rzr]

Running Vista with FFR is as pointless as running FFR on a windows 98 or less. That's why I stopped playing unless I'm on someone else's computer.

[6 p01nt3d*st@r]

I almost got vista.
I got my laptop like a week or so before it came out.

[retching oesophagus]

i didn't realise vista sucked so much. i like to think my pa is crap because of that. i did actually aaa like 10 songs on xp the other day. now im back on vista and i cant aaa anything.

[who_cares973]

sm runs fine on vista ffr on the other hand is another story =/

im getting a gateway laptop with 3gb ram and a bad ass video card so i hope that is enough

[Izzy]

I don't think its an issue of computer resources that wont run ffr well.

Playing FFR on a lap top works insanely well. I don't play spread so when I use my lap top to play SM my fingers glide across the flat buttons.

[dean_machine]

My Vista computer has better system specs than my laptop, but it runs flash like crap on any browser (even tried safari because my apple update software kept bugging me about downloading it, so I tried it) while my laptop with XP runs flash just fine on any browser.

[ELRayford]

I recently switched from vista to XP and saw a huge improvement in PA. I believe it has something to do with vista running flash a few fps slower than xp would. There may be a fix in SP1. My best advice is to get xp, use a friends cd or w/e or go with an open source OS, ubuntu is free and runs ffr very nicely. If neither of these are viable options you can always spend a ton upgrading your hardware to run vista better. Even then flash will still suffer.

[MrMagic5239]

I run FFR on vista at school and it works fine, but they also have huge ass flat screen LCD monitors, its sweet

It works perfectly fine on that, could it be the monitor?

EDIT: Prepare for the future anyway, XP is going extinct eventually and everyone is gonna have Vista if they buy a new comp, keep your old comp's healthy if you dont want to buy Vista computers in the future

You will pretty much never ever find a need for 3 gigs of ram, but whatever.

@Magic, I'm pretty sure they already stopped making XP disks, but you can still find them places, when buying a new computer ask if you can get it with XP.

Also, High def monitors are horrible unless you can sync it, this is more a problem with TV's rather than computer monitors but I'm pretty sure the problem is still there. Flat screen non high def is fine, although you "might" get a ghost of the arrows a bit while playing, mainly with black backgrounds, not much of a problem though, won't affect your playing to much if at all.

Lastly, never buy anything wireless, ever, although I'm pretty sure this is common sense to most people.

3 gigs of ram is a total waste lmao
