I tested SS with Halo 1 as a "just to see", no need to really use it. I play Halo 1 using 3DA so I can set all of Halo's settings to ON or MAX, such as specular.
On 3DA I force pixel 1.1, SW TL and Emulate HW TL, and Halo 1 looks amazing. More so compared to running it with no extra software. I couldn't even get specular to run at 800X600 w/o 3DA. I have a copy of Vista here, I'm just not a big fan of it at all, never have been. I setup my HDD to support a dual OS of XP and Vista, so maybe I'll just break down and install Vista and check out the drivers section again. Thanks all for the replies. Halo 2 did run, using a WinXP loader. Wasn't pretty though. On Jul 10, 3:30 am, Espionage724 <[email protected]> wrote: > How and why do you use SS with Halo?
