Question about desktop games.
0
Do any of the desktop games work on Windows Vista? It says they work with XP but they don't say anything about the other Os's like Vista. I want to know before i download one and install it. The last time I installed something that wasn't Vista compatible it almost caused my system to crash.

The only thing that has made my Vista crash in its short (3-4month life) is me deleting the drivers for my keyboard while they were in use. However the hell you managed to kill your system, you did it in an odd way.
All the games in that section will not cause your computer harm. There is no OS identification for Vista because no one has submitted results, or requested any action to be taken. Tonight, with my free time, I will run all of these games in various different ways and then post here if they work with Vista (or what combination of techniques you must use to get them to work)
I am running Vista Ultimate on a high end gaming machine, so any CPU heavy games will have no dire effect on my rig.
To answer your question shortly, yes. They should work on Vista.

TESTING COMPLETE
This list has been compiled solely by me.
Default test: Slowly work my way through the standard Compatibility modes [95, 98/ME, NT 4.0 SP5, 2k, XP SP2 and Server 2k3 SP1]. After this, I just test using 95 and 98 with various combinations of Settings [256 colors, 640x480, etc]. Any notes underneath are application specific.
I have also disabled UAC, but it probably won't be unnecessary for use.
Pass: No setting adjustment required, a game that works hot off the press.
Conditional Pass: There is a problem or a setting that has to be changed for anything to work. Read the bit next to it.
Conditional Fail: This application is more likely not to work.
Failed: There is nothing that can be done to make this game run under the Vista operating system. Sorry.
"Fatal Relations" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No major discrepancies. At the start, do not click when you see your mouse icon change to the working symbol. It will say the application is not responding. It is, just click Wait For Program To Respond.
"Love Potion" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies.
"Anime Poker Rei" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies.
"Rock Paper Scissors" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies.
"Tic Tac Toe" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies.
"Stealing Funny" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies. Japanese, therefore useless to me, but you can mindlessly click should you choose.
"Rance" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies. Japanese.
"Rance 2" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies. Japanese.
"Little Vampire" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies. Japanese.
"Hunt a Girl" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies. Japanese.
"Anime Poker Valkyrie" -- Vista Compatibility: PASS
No discrepancies.
"Sentimental Shooting" -- Vista Compatibility: Conditional Pass -- Odd CPU charts
On quit, checking my CPU graph for no reason, I noticed both 3Ghz cores were at 100% usage and dropped to 3% on quit. This may be standard, and it's just waisting CPU cycles, but I don't know, as I'm not interesting in firing up another computer to check. Game is otherwise fine on default settings.
"Sinan" -- Vista Compatibility: Conditional Pass -- Understand Japanese Requirement, No Workaround
This game will run natively in Vista. The text support is not native, so you must run it with AppLocale if you can read Japanese. There is a question at the start of the game that needs a correct answer that no-one knows, so it's pretty useless.
"Immoral Study 1" -- Vista Compatibility: Conditional Fail -- Occasional Random Launch
This game was just plain irritating. I remember tinkering with it on XP and getting a 20% launch rate. I fiddled with application paths and audio etc and did not achieve a stable result. This game will launch when it wants, if it wants. There appears to be no true way to get it working perfectly. Download, but be prepared for it not to work. I'll just play it on my 98SE machine, thanks.
"Ringout" -- Vista Compatibility: FAILED
After correctly applying the registry data for English (and going as far to modify the paths to D:\Hentai\Games\Ringout\ rather than .\, running directory) and testing it, I came up with my desktop and no application. It's in my process list, but is doing nothing. If I run without the Settings set to 256 Colors it asks me if I would like to change, but does nothing from there.
"Paradise Heights 1" -- Vista Compatibility: FAILED
Nothing. I did, however, make a workaround for installing. When you get the game, the instructions are "Make sure the folder with the game inside is in your C:/ directory." You don't have to do this, and you can put the folder wherever you wish if you run a registry key I made. =D Download from here! <- This will take effect on all OS's, but will only be of use to 95 - XP users.
"Paradise Heights 2" -- Vista Compatibility: FAILED
It's identical to PH1. Go out and buy a 98SE PC for this stuff.
"Princess Maker 2" -- Vista Compatibility: FAILED
Just a casual not-working application. No modes work with it.

Man I wasn't expecting those kinds of results so soon. I don't see Princess Maker 2 so I guess your not finished. Thanks for helping. :D
