I know that Vista had problems and I was wondering if anyone tried it on Windows 7. I plan to just download 2.10 but I might download the latest 2.5 build. I just wanted to see if I could save myself some time before I got it and realized it didn't work. Windows 7 seems to be better than Vista so far and if no one has tried ZC on it yet I'll just get ZC and tell everyone how it goes.
EDIT: Just so everyone knows ZC does work with Windows 7 (for the most-part (real word?) better than Vista). The only problem is that sometimes the colors get messed up, but not that badly, though this may be my computer's fault not Windows 7.
EDIT 2: Franpa at AGN wrote a simple batch program for fixing Windows 7's color issue (some taskbar layering stuff). Check after the fix for a link to the original thread.
Place this batch file (copy and paste into notepad and Save As insertnamehere.bat to make it a batch file) in your ZC folder and run. Change zelda-w.exe to zquest-w.exe to fix for ZQ.
@echo off
@echo ================================================
@echo Welcome to Franpa's Zelda Classic Colour Fix! v1.00
@echo ================================================
@echo Simply place this BAT file into your Zelda Classic folder and execute it instead of the games EXE file,
@echo this will close all instances of Explorer.exe then start the game, when closing
@echo the game, Explorer.exe is reloaded.
@echo off
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
Zelda-w.exe -fast
Start explorer.exe
Here is the original thread at AGN.
*Warning* Link is definitely broken.
You can also do this:
-Right-click "zelda-w.exe"
-Properties > Compatibility
-check:
[X] 256 colors
[X] 640x480 p screen resolution
