i doubt there is such a patch

i know how u feel, it&#39;s annoying to get a game u like from ur favorite store only to find out it won&#39;t run on ur comp

all the money wasted without ever having the chance to see it how it looks and feels

Thanks man.

I have been searchin google and i found a program that emulates things your card cannot do.

Its called 3d analyse.

Their is ALOT of options for it but im not sure what ones to select.

I managed to get the game to start with it but i just get garbage and stupid colors lol.

When your bro comes on line ask him what the program is called and if its the one i mentioned above, could you please please please ask him to take a screen shot of how he has set the options up ??

:beerchug:

Ive seen some screenshots of this game and it looks awsome :)

It better be good for a game that takes up over 5gb of hdd space lol

I had a feeling installing older drivers will work (still need 3d analyse but it works now :) ) I just avoided using older drivers.

I done a benchmark with 3dmark2003 using the new and old drivers and these are the results.

53.03 drivers got me 3700 marks

41.09 drivers got me 4166 marks (would have got more but forgot to turn of antivirus)

So, for older cards just use the 41.09&#39;s i suppose since they get me more marks and allow me to play SH3 :)

So this program emulates things a graphics card can&#39;t, I have the Geforce 4 MMX 440 128mb edition and it doesnt support pixal shading 2.0 so i can&#39;t play prince of persia 2 sadns of time,. will this program emulate that so i could?

yeah it might

Just use older drivers because with the latest ones, it was booting up but things were missing.

After installing the old drivers, have a look at Cygnuz&#39;s screenshot and it should run it.

Im trying to get some cool effects going in need for speed underground what the geforce4 cannot do :)
