Title: GTA SA on a netbook?
Post by: TheRealStof on February 07, 2010, 06:13:29 pm: just wanted to know, is it possible and how? cos at the moment i click play samp or watever and the screen goes black then just goes back to normal..for those who dont know what a netbook is, it is a midget laptop, could probably fit in someones back pocket of pants...hook us up with any programs you may need for it or whatever

peace.

although, if youv bought it recently, i can assume it will run it.

Post by: Juraj_horvath on February 09, 2010, 08:43:53 pm: I have this netbook, i tried running the game on it. It worked, but the game was laggy. (i think 10-14 fps). You can still try and run it. It might be caused by the external HDD that i was running the game from. I used it because i had the model with the memory stick. I supose it will run smoother when you install it directly into the netbook and not on any external HDDs, Usb sticks(if thats even possible).
Good luck!

Post by: BLiSS908 on February 10, 2010, 07:40:28 am: Possible reason for the black then back to normal would be because of the .set files in My Documents. I have an external Display on my MacBook and when I am playing GTA, It ask for which display. When the connector is not connected, it will do the same and wont run SA MP. So I erase the .set file to run it without a external display.

If you left something as valuable as your laptop at schoo, wouldn't you quickly pop back to get it?
