Installed, and it works! I cranked the graphics right up and it's not very playable. I need more time to experiment to see if I can get it right. Given how bad the D-pad is for gaming, I think I may leave ship combat on cyborg and let the game fight for me.

I can't believe nobody else has soiled themselves over this. Star Control 2 is the best game, of all time, ever. Nothing touches it. I remember waking up at 6am on weekends just to boot it through hyperspace and figure out what the hell it was the Ilwrath wanted me to do.
