jaydenfox you dual-booted to get Windows on your Mac, right? What did you use to help you do it? I've been wanting to do it for a while, but been put off by the confusing guides I've found.
Actually, Boot Camp wasn't working for me so I did it manually. I had Windows 7 on a flash drive. I had to run several repairs with Disk Utility to get it to even partition my drive 'cuz apparently things were messed up xD But then you just have to stick the thing into your USB port and hold down "option" to access the "Startup Manager" or something. From there, select to boot from the flash drive, it should run whatever's on there and you choose your partition that you created for Windows (make sure it's formatted correctly). The only problem after that was that, since I didn't have Boot Camp helping me, it didn't install the drivers necessary for the Windows computer to use mac hardware, so I couldn't get internet or anything, even when plugged directly in. I ended up needing to download all the drivers and such from my mac partition, put them onto a flash drive, and pulling them out once again for my Windows partition. And to access the PC partition, you do it the same way as before - hold down the Option key on startup to get to the startup manager.
Just today, I actually started receiving the parts that I ordered for the computer I'm building I'm building a Hackintosh, but I got two separate SSDs so that I could run both Windows and Mac without having to partition a drive. The rest of my parts should arrive between tomorrow and a week from today (the 29th) so I'm excited
Just be careful. If you're on a Macbook Pro or other laptop, getting Windows 7 will hurt your battery life... If you're on an iMac or a Mac Pro, you'll be fine xD
Rune Ripper how were the guides confusing? Trying to run OSX on a Windows machine is extremely difficult, but dual booting Windows on a Mac isn't so hard.

If there is one thing life has drummed into me is to always keep backups.
I actually lost my RPG files recently as well, but it seems to be going much better now... I learned a lot since then, so hopefully the game will be better.

I have noticed that a few RMXP scripts will work on RMVX though. Mapping in VX was one of the lets downs in that. It just seemed alot more restrictive than XP. RMXP if utilised properly can lead to some beautiful maps, especially if you're great a parralax mapping.

They will. although its a RGSS2 --> 3 thing you need to worry about.
although switching the tileset without having to use a script is nice. and i have always used the front view for these

So what actual difference is between VX and Ace then? Most of it looks like the scripts in VX will work in Ace.
I've got three or four other projects I want to work on as well but two of them are related to the current project (kind of a prequel and a sequel), and the other two are VX projects. I really want to focus on getting this one done first though.
Looking through the video, never did like the front view battle system like that. If it had sprites on the field like in Mystic Quest then fair enough but I just never liked the faces being hit.

agreed.
although as far story progression goes in my new project (Dreams of Reality) i have started maybe progressing in it. (i have this notion of a rescue of a close friend in mind but no way to start it)
but after a short reality cut scene 'Slade' somehow ends up back in the dungeon he was first in although its slowly sinking around the exit doorway. he is finally able to go through the door. however he learns that one of his friends is in danger (although he dismisses it at first) he rushes on ahead (without recovering his empty MP gauge) to save them

Gave my brother my laptop forgetting about my project, and he cleared it. Now I have the urge to carry on with my project. I hope I can recover it.
