Having owned the HP Mini for 6 months and it is still running strong. Here is a list of games I have tried to play on this system along with some of the tweaks I've used to get them to run in Windows 7 Starter.
- Damage Inc. (Win 95 game) - You must download a DX9 .dll file to get it to work properly, and run in 95/98/ME compatability mode.
- Doom2 (Win 95 version) - this game runs in XPSP2 compatability mode.
- Postal (Win 95 game) - this game runs as-is.
- KKND Xtreme (Win 95 game) - this game runs as-is.
- Carmageddon 2 (Win 95 game) - this game runs in compatability mode.
- Total Annhilation (Win 95 game) - this game runs as-is.
- Grand Theft Auto (freeware version from Rockstar) - will not install under Win 7, does not run in any mode, will run in Win XP.
- Grand Theft Auto 2 (freeware version from Rockstar) - works as-is.
- KKND2: Krossfire - this game runs with a DX9 .dll file.
- Age of Empire 1 and 2 - they will install but limited to 800x600 resolution, may work better in XP.
- Unreal/Unreal Tournament 1999 - This game runs very well in 800x600 resolution, but can modded via the Unreal...ini to run at 1024x600.
- Tactical Ops:AOT (UT99 based) - This game runs same as UT.
- Return to Castle Wolfentstein - This game runs as-is.
- Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy - this game runs as-is.
- Halo: Combat Evolved - this game runs choppy in Win 7, suggest upgrading RAM and running in 800x600 for best performance, XP would likely run this better.
- Dungeon Siege/DSLOA - runs fine as-is.
- StarCraft/Brood War - would not even install under Win 7, will definitely run in XP.
- C&C Red Alert 1/2 - would not install, may work in XP.
- C&C 1 and Red Alert 1 (First Decade Edition) - works
- C&C Tiberian Sun (First Decade Edition) - works
- C&C Red Alert 2/Yuri Revenge (First Decade Edition) - would not even boot.
- C&C Renegade (First Decade Edition) - runs at full speed, is a horrible game.
- C&C Generals (retail version)- would not even boot, may work in XP.
- C&C Generals/Zero Hour (First Decade Edition) - works on lowest detail setting, but runs very slowly).
- Rainbow Six 3 - runs well in XPSP2 Compatability mode, some user-created content is sluggish.
- UT 2003/2004 - Will install and run but needs more system RAM for Win7, runs fine in XP at maximum settings.
- Tactical Ops: Crossfire (UT2K4 mod) - runs sluggishly, definitely more RAM is needed.
- Killing Room (UT2K4 mod/standalone) - runs very sluggishly, more RAM or downgrade to XP should help.
- UT3 - Installs fine, but is extremely unstable, may work in XP. UT3-based games apparently have issues with the Intel Chipset GFX.
- Battlefield 2 - Installs, the Easy Info lists the only
conflict as the Processor, Patch 1.5 did not like Windows 7 at all -
will try dl-ing the patch again. Right now, it just prompts for the CD.
- Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - Installs, but gets an error message and crash during game boot - "Video Card not supported." This game may require a netbook with an NVidia ION GFX chip (Mini 311). System failed compatability test during installation, listing System RAM and GFX.
- World of Goo - This game runs as-is.
- Zombie Driver - Program Installs, boots, and runs extremely sluggishly. I would suggest adding RAM and running XP.
