Is using Begin/EndMax2D 'safe'?

I was wondering if anybody experienced any issues with using Max2D with minib3d? The reason I ask, is because some testers had trouble using VBO's on their machine, and I had to disable it. When I did that, I noticed a UseMax2D flag that could be set, and it made me wonder if there were any known issues using BeginMax2D/EndMax2D?

I used it for a game that isnt finished, it didnt cause any issues at all for me.

I used it a lot in New Star Soccer 4... Had no issues, except on insisting that people with onboard Intel gfx chips update their drivers. :)

The only issues i've had with MiniB3D and beginmax2d is when people are using out of date drivers. Cheers Charlie

Thanks! That is good to know. NSS4 looks really good, btw.
