Hello all,

Due to some apparent problems with my portable computer, I'm fearing I might have to replace it with a new one within the next weeks or months. What worries me most at the moment is : XP is no longer available and I know any new machine I will buy will be running Vista.

Has anyone already had any experiences with Dragon emulation under Vista ? Does it work ? If so, which emulators do work ?

Any feedback will be most welcome!

I've had one email from a Vista user who had trouble with the OpenGL video module in XRoar. Running with "-vo sdlyuv" alleviated the problem, but I'm not sure why it's an issue - the emulator does nothing particularly clever, even restricting texture dimensions to powers of 2.

So - *potential* issues (though it seems more likely to be a driver problem), but not insurmountable. And probably fixable even there (any Windows coders familiar with OpenGL want to cast an eye over video_sdlglc.c?).

And I'm sure some version of MESS would still work.
