:UPDATE:
SNES9x - Version 1.43 (Works good, all video modes except OpenGL work fine.)

zSNES - Version 1.42 (Works good, all video modes work fine.)

Diablo 2 w/ LOD Expansion - Version 1.11b (Game crashes when moving from one
world to the next, something to do with the cutsenes that play. This is not
the case with a charactor that moves across worlds via the waypoint system
where the cutsenes are not played or have already been played.)

Civilization IV works fine for me. No obvious difference in performance from
XP.

(Athlon 64 2.4GHz, GeForce 6800 HS, 2 GB RAM)

FreeSpace 2, Halo, Startrek Voyager Elite Force, Aoe III, and testing others..

Most of them work well, but we still need the OpenGL support from ATI and
Nvidia, the software wrapper in Vista does the job, but i'ts limited.

Got my OpenGL games to work fine, as I've mentioned in another post,
I have an NVIDIA card and am using older 5656 XP drivers for vista. . .
All my GL games work including:
Prey Demo
Quake 4
Doom 3
Medal of Honor
etc. ..

The only game I could get to work was SIMS2. All games like Collaps, soda
Pipes, Pandora'Box,puzzel games and the like won't work in ANY mode! Too bad
:-(

The only game I could get to run right was SIMS2. Other games like collaps,
soda pipes, Pandora's box (puzzel type games) did a crash and burn! What a
shame! :-(
