The Geek: Sorry about the DOS 5.2 thing... I meant DOS 5. And I just realized it might be running slowly because of DriveSpace... I'll turn DriveSpace off and see if that makes any difference.
Moving
The Geek: Suggestion, maybe this page should be moved to "System Requirements" and have a message added, e.g. "There are no set system requirements, however here is a list of tests performed and how the OHRRPGCE performed" or something like that. Then this page could redirect there.
Bob the Hamster yeah, I think that is a good idea.
The Geek: OK, I'll see if I can figure out how to move a page, then how to redirect one...
The Geek: Yay, it sets up the redirect automatically! Just wondering, how does one go about adding something to the menu on the left? Methinks this should be there.
Mike C. You can't. Only Sysops (i.e., James, me or TMC) can. But, I think it would belong better on the Downloads page.
The Geek: OK then. And I guess it doesn't really need to be on the sidebar, I was just thinking of the fact that the first thing I look for when I'm investigating a new program is the system requirements.
Mike C. Ah. My strategy is to download first, and if it doesn't work and/or is for another platform altogether, I blame microsoft.
The Geek: Understood. I guess my reason for always checking the system requirements is I've downloaded so many programs that need more video RAM or a certain framework... it's sooo annoying to download a 20Mb package on dialup and then find you can't run it.
Kizul Emeraldfire: I've been running the Windows OHR on a Pentium III 650MHz, Windows 98SE computer with 192MB of RAM and it seems to go fine — though, I admit — I haven't tried any heavily-plotscripted games like Baby Bob the Hamster yet. I've pretty much just been using the OHR to make my own games with (my current project is T.M.N.T.: The RPG). :)
Rewrite
Bob the Hamster: Okay, so in the rewrite, I claimed that Windows XP and Ubuntu Linux are the best-tested operating systems, which is true from mypoint of view, but I would like to update that to reflect the operating systems used by the other devs and by our more prolific power-users.
S'orlok Reaves: For what it's worth, all my OHR work is done on Vista. But, I only develop tiny games, which I use to test compatibility between the Standard OHR and the OHRRPGCE FMF.
