GREAT GAME BUT NEED SOME HELP...

1) When I first booted my virtual drive of Dracula X onto Magic Engine beta 3 I was forced to watch the intro before getting to the press start (run) screen. Understandable.

Whenever I boot up again, I can skip the intro by pressing start (run) to get to the start (run) screen. However, the intro music is still playing and if I do press start (run) again the screen goes blank and the game freezes up.

Am I going to be forced to watch the entire intro every time I boot this game?

2) I would like to have better resolution than beta 3 seems to offer (is 640x480 the best it gets?) I have noticed beta 5 offers better resolution but I can't get the aspi driver to work (I have Win XP).

Does the full version of ME support Win XP the same as beta 3? Is there a trick to getting the aspi driver to work?

With beta 5 you don't need any ASPI layer under Win NT/2K/XP, Magic Engine automatically uses standard SPTI.

Thanks. I'll give beta 5 a try. I figured out a trick to get past the intro by loading a previous save state. Very tempted to get the full version. Just hope it works as well as beta 5.
