You and the bounty hunter join forces to collect all the treasures,

From what I figure from the site, this doesn't run on H/PC Pro, right?

I'm not sure to be honest.

I did drop a reply asking what the spec was to BallShooters head of PR after I read it.
Generally speaking most of their newer H/PC games are 2.11 upwards.

I'll let you know once I find out.

I just heard back from the BallShooter team.

They tell me the game works under 2.00, Pro, 2000, and CE4.

So there we go

Kudos to the BallShooter team!

Good News , my Friend!

According to Taras at Ballshooter it will work with all HPC's. I tried it on the MP 900 and it runs beautifully - although it doesn't fill up the entire screen.

We have to hand it the folks at Ballshooter, unlike so many other developers they've never forgotten or ignored their HPC customers.

Thanks

well it wont work under 1.00 and 1.01 H/PC's

BallShooter really do deserve a lot of credit for keepng the H/PC going. They do it in a very interesting way.
For a lot of applications they make a universal processor binary. The same cab puts the same code onto both the PPC and HPC.

They just turn things on and off that will / wont work depending on the platform the exe is run under.
Ok, so it may push up the binary size a little - all graphics are recycled which tend to be the biggest part - however this just goes to show that will a little ingenuity the H/PC isn't all that difficult to program for on a coroporate level while maintaining your cross platform margins.
