I think you have two options:
Buy MMF2
or
Buy Windows XP

Hang on, I'm pretty sure I've seen posts about people using MMF1 on Vista somewhere... :S

Hopefully someone can confirm this for the nice man?

Wait for Vista SP2. XP is nice and nify and fast. You can always use a Vista skin on XP? It'd look the same and you'd get a similar cut in performance too.

The look of Aero isn't really why Aero is worth getting, so using a skin would be very pointless. Aero uses graphic drivers to run the theme, which makes it much harder for Vista to have the ugly redraw issues (with Aero enabled). You will not get this if you just use Window Blinds or something. If anything, you'll just increase the redraw issues.

Yes, Vista does have performance issues, and no MMF 1.5 doesn't work on it. I personally decided to upgrade to Vista, I don't regret it, but I agree that you should wait for SP2.

Edit: The point behind Home Basic is... well there is no point at all. Home Basic is nothing but a downgrade from Windows XP Home. If you're going to get Vista, the least you could do for yourself is get Home Premium, at least then you'll get the Aero theme and some nice pointless features like Media Center.

Wonder why they chose to make a crippled version of Vista in the first place, surely it makes sense to just release 1 version that contains everything?

Question: In the past couple of days I've seen screenshots of Hasslevania from very new computers and the texts are all huge and everything doesn't look "right". Could this be because the users had Vista or is it just because their screens don't support 320 x 200 resolution?

I'm curious because I want to make a sequel that won't look like total crap on a newer PC.

In the end, that's Clickteam's problem/responsibilty. Report it to them.

Perhaps if enough people come together, they can appeal a Vista fix for MMF1.5?

Clickteam is stubborn, they can and more then less likely will refuse to fix MMF 1.5.

1. It's Microsoft's fault. MMF1.5 worked perfectly on Windows XP.
2. Clickteam has better stuff to do than porting an old and no longer supported product to a new, full of compatibility issues operating system.

Liji has it in a nutshell,

MS updated,
and clickteam have retired 1.5, so im stuck,
I know mmf2 reads mmf1 projects, but im using extentions, mmf2 supports extentions in a way that allows the project to be opened, so the extentions can be programmed out...


BTW:
I doesnt even work if you run by Compatability mode for XP
I guess I should stick to modding PSP's

Other than disabling some features and faking the Windows version, compatibility mode doesn't do anything.
Check for the MMF1.5 extensions that were ported to MMF2:

If someone will fix it, it'd be Microsoft in a Service Pack.

you know, Microsoft changing their definition of executables to make them better for the future doesn't mean that it's their fault MMF1.5 doesn't work anymore.
I mean, try running a binary from one Linux distro on quite a different distro - much chance that it won't work unless you recompile the entire thing for that distro.

Breaking backwards compatibility isn't necessarily a bad thing, but on such a large scale as Vista does it it can be QUITE annoying for users.
