how about making a pixel shader 2.0 patch  for bully!

That would allow a whole lot of people to experience bully on the PC! and bring them to this forum!!!

the rabbit hole goes deeper than I had imagined..
Turns out it is a common problem with lazy ports - bioshock among others also required shader 3.0 support. Probably because xbox has a shader 3.0  chip and the devs did not bother adding shader 2.0 support to the pc version of their games.
However COD4, a console port, OFFICIALLY WORKED with shader 2.0. Here the devs did  bother to make the game as compatible as possible with the PC platform..(unlike in bully's case) by adding shader 2.0 support.

In bioshock's case there is a community made patch , enabling the game to run beautifully with shader 2.0 itself.
 Which is great news.. since it creates the possiblity of a shader 2.0 patch for bully.

EDIT: attempted to FIX HORRIBLE ENGLISH :oops:

btw crysis had shader 2.0 support..

I found this 3d-analyze which is supposed to emulate shader 3 or just fool the game into thinking that shader 3 is present.

But this isn't  working , or I haven't managed to figure out how to  use this app. getting the same  error.

Hi
I get thes error when attempting to start bully (windows xp)
"bully requires a 32 bit display, and vertex and pixel shader model 3.0 support*

Now I understand , the only solution is to buy better a graphics card .
But is there a way to bypass this pixel shader  requirements? probably using some command line arguments or something? I know the game may give some errors..but I really wanna play this game..

Help!
