Can we not change it or is this something to do with the build of the compiler.. I really dont know much about this stuff, but what do we need to do to upgrade the compiler to the latest versions? ( 3.X ) It would be good to keep up todate with the compilers and also be able to define our own folder names (aside from psx3).. Can anyone write some kind of process on how to do this.. Id be willing to give it a go if i knew how :) Either way i will be upgrading to XP shortly so im going to have to go through the process of getting my gear ot work properly..
