Hi

I decided to play this classic again but Im not able to run it Hardware mode any more
because I upgraded my rig Mad Only Software mode is working.

My current rig is:XP 2800+,6600GT,1GB RAM

Do you think there is a way to launch it in Hardvare mode for example via emulator ?

you cant. your vidcard is too new. it doesnt support whats needed for hardware mode. you need an older vidcard. this isnt a joke.

Actually I played it on my PC just recently and I had the same problem.
It appears that on first run it used the hardware mode, but after trying to change the resolution it would revert back to software mode. That special stealth/ninja effect doesnt work properly either.
So what I did was to delete the cfg file, and then run it again. It used hardware mode but as I said, I couldnt change the resolution. So I just left it as is.
I have a Geforce 3 though so I'm not sure how it will work for you.
