Hi, can anyone help? I get this message on startup:

"Could not find a Direct 3D device that supports the XNA Framework HiDef profile"

Apparently my PC is too old - or is there a workaround? (Beyond getting a new PC/graphics card)

My Mac (late 2011) is a lot newer, but (running VirtualBox) I get the same message. Any Virtual Box wizards know a workaround?

Or, has anyone managed to run it via Wine?

:-(

Thanks for your replies. :)

Everything else is up-to-date (on 32-bit XP, ha!) but I didn't have the latest "compatible" NVidia drivers - but installing those failed and mucked up my machine. I reinstalled the old ones. :(

It's a really old card. 6600GT with only 128MB of VRAM. Now that I read the small print, that's somewhat short of the 512MB needed. For a 2D shooter, seems crazy to me, but then I'm very old school. :/

In summary, my Mac is my only hope. I'll repeat my original question: anyone have any luck installing this game with Wine and/or VirtualBox? :D

Well the bad news was that I badly needed to upgrade my graphics card. :-(

The good news is that it runs like a champ on the new one. :-D

I can't mark my own reply as the "answer", so will credit fellow user Strijkbout instead. Cheers to you and JudasIscariot too! :-)
