    Hey, I'm on a laptop and I'm going through hell just to play FF7. I got a dualcore Turion64 on Vista64 and all older games are either buggy or super laggy/choppy. Is there a program I can run to increase performance on these games or an emulator or something I can get to get rolling in the right direction?

    This is online gaming we're talking about? I think you need to download some extra viewer for x64, then?

    No online gaming, the games I play are unpopulated nowadays (Quake2 etc). What do you mean "viewer"? Do you mean like an emulator? And if so, which one?

    The game I'm trying to play specifically is Final Fantasy Seven, which came out in 97 and it's just singleplayer. It's seriously busting out at a whopping <10FPS. That might be an overstatement too.

    So, I dunno. I guess an emulator would work, but I don't know shit about them, aside from like PS2emus and such.

    Yes, some emulator. I know even less about them than you do. :-D But there's a Game Forum here on Majorgeeks. What about opening a new thread down there? Link: http://forums.majorgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=16

    Or ask the mods to move this one...

    Cool, How do I contact a mod?

    Good question. I guess you PM them. I wonder if the "Report Post" icon could be used for that? I would not like to report anything but spam, though. :-D
