Hi, I'm new in the forum
I got my SFC1 CD several years ago, but when I switched to win xp I couldn't make it to run. I decided past days to install it and it worked, even got the 1.3 patch.
My question is, where can I play SFC1 on-line like the "dynaverse", or is not possible anymore??
Thanks

Welcome to the forum.
On this precise issue I can't help a lot but perhaps a little as I don't use SFC1 or Windows XP myself.. I upgraded to SFC2EAW then to Orion Pirates on Windows 2000 Pro and have never looked back.
1/ SFC1 does not have a dynaverse. Online play was just person vs person battles and I am unsure if that is still supported by the 3rd party that handled it. Others may know more.
2/ I believe that XP can be told to run programs in "compatiblity modes". Have you tried that? Try setting for Windows 2000 or Windows 98 compatibility.
3/ If I remember right one of our people (who will be back on the forums next week sometime hopefully) had a method for making SFC1 run on XP. I'll try to contact him and see if he still remembers how.
4/ Someone else who has solved this may jump in at any time with a solution so please stand by.

Actually mine is working good in winxp after like mmm 6 years... dont ask me why, personally I dont know. Im not using compatibility mode at all. If I use, the cd is not detected lol... And in the past the game entered and crashed badly.
I didnt knew that SFC hadnt dynaverse, thanks.

Welcome CesarW,
I know that Panzergranate and probably some other members play SFC1 through an LAN connection. He will probably see this thread sometime soon or you could try sending him a Private Message. Hopefully that'll help.
Good luck
