Hi all. I'm looking into downloading Neotokyo.

I exceed all the system requirements except for that dreaded Pixel Shader 2.0.

Will I still be able to play, or am I screwed?

Is there a way to bypass this through console commands or some other application like 3D-Analyze?

Thanks for your help.

Screwed, you cant render unless you have 2.0 and will end up crashing/error.

Funny you should say that. I made it ingame.

It runs maybe 23 fps?

Still only shader model 1.4

I have the very same card as you on my old PC.

Apparently, Radeon 9250 is very gimped in term of compatibility for most games. It should have enough juce to match Nvidea 6 or 7 series but they didn't put as much effort into making it a good card as it should be, hence it why the cheap price I got for it. The driver download for it was also discontinued and they stop trying to update it, it's really a gimped card now. >.<

Anyway, grab an Nvidea 6/7 series if you want to run most MMORPG out there. For resource hog games, stick with series 8 and 9, preferably a 8800 GT or GTX or a 9800 GT/GTX. Both SHOULD be able to be obtained for less than 150 bucks if you really go hunt for it, the series 8 should range around 80-120 bucks.

Go to start menu and under Search or Run, Type in DxDiag for me, save the log and paste it here. I might be able to help you that way by seeing the rig you're running.

Yea, look like you could either use a new PC or some extensive hardware upgrade on your PC. Ram is pretty low, everyone that I know that use XP always ramp it up to 2 gig. And your processor should be replaced seeing that it's a pretty old and outdated one compare to the stuff we have now. I don't know if you'll be able to afford an upgrade right now, or if you want to, but it seem like if you want better gaming experience, you'll need to dish out some cash for a new rig.
