And finally, another new project. EA recently added tiberium sun alongside tiberium dawn and red alert in their classic C&C free downloads section. Since I already own the other two they weren't particulaly interesting, but I've never played tiberium sun, so I gave it a download. It actually runs pretty well on this Win7 machine, except for some resolution issues, which I can make a patch for easily enough. Except that I don't want to: I was looking over the list of these graphics patches I've made for old games. I have fallout 1/2, thief 1/2, system shock 2, diablo, crimson skies, summoner, and a couple more that I never got to a releasable standard but only used myself. (Dungeon keeper springs to mind.)** I feel this is starting to get a bit silly, and I suspect that my move to win7 and DX11 hardware will have broken even more recent games, so rather than trying to keep patching everything individually, I've started work on a generic wrapper for DirectX 1 through to 7 to DirectX 9, emulating all the old DirectX features that have been dropped along the way. There's no downloads yet; I'm saving a release for when I'm able to use it to play every game that I currently have an individual patch for.

If Windows Vista was a pig, Windows 7 would be a pig with lipstick on....
Take your time, maybe they will have proper 64bit support by then.
