Although dx9 is a requirement

Please people, stop deciding that DX9 is a requirement. Go back and read the contest page. It says "Suggested Minimum System Requirements". That means when you make your game, it should be able to run on the described hardware/software setup in order to be judged. If your game came in a retail box, you would find those specs (or lower) listed as the "minimum system requirements" to run.

The VS2005 beta is really not intended for production-level use. I wouldn't recommend using it for the 4e4 project as such, and neither would Microsoft.

Can we still use it, if we like? I've already started, and it's in it, though I can convert to 6.0 if I have to, I'm not using .NET.

However, we won't install the .NET 2.0 Framework on our machines if it's still in beta at the time. .NET code created with the VS2005 beta all uses the 2.0 framework, AFAIK, so if you plan to submit a .NET project with it then you're gambling that the framework will be released in time.

Um, question here - you're saying GeForce 2 min spec, but you're also saying minimum 1.1 shaders in response to "can we expect VS/PS 2.0".

As far as I know, GeForce2 doesn't support pixel shaders, only vertex shaders - I think GeForce3 was the first card to add pixel shading, wasn't it?

So can we not use pixel shaders at all, then? FFP only?
