Attempting to initialize the tiles version in my Windows XP laptop yields this log:

* * *

## 22:34:49.187 : Starting log. 22:34:49.687 SDL : src/sdltiles.cpp:317: Failed to select render target: That operation is not supported 22:34:49.687 : initscr failed! 22:34:49.734 : Log shutdown.

Ascii version works just fine.

Looks like a software-renderer issue. Should be a config/options file; head in there and flip the true/false of the option that looks like SOFTWARE\_RENDER or somesuch. (I have Curses at hand so don’t get that option in mine, sorry for the vagueness).
