Sorry for resurection of Windows NT 4.0
but tried someone NT4 in Vmware? I installed it fine, networking and sound is fine, i installed Vmware tools drivers, SVGA resolution are fine, but when i tried Diablo 1 demo installed, screen is resized to 640x480, but its all black, only sounds.. I hoped that at least some 2d Direct Draw games would be fine, i installed official DirectX5 (BTW it wouldnt be bad idea to add these to Vogons library, it not easy to find them).. it seems that install was fine, but i dunno what to test it.. Dxdiag is not there, or its not in the path.
I wonder if there is some better videocard driver, if Virtualbox or Qemu are better.
What i really dont like about NT4 is missing Device manager and that i have to press CRTL+ALT+DEL to show logon window.
I tried to install Opera 10.63, but i get strange message that i cant do it, because is running, what is nonsense, i have SP6 installed.
Update: I tried Quake II demo 3.14 (im not sure, maybe there is newer version) and its run fine even in 1024x768, but there is big sound delay, i just installed Creative SB 128 driver for NT recommended by Vmware.
Update: I used my old Diablo 1 demo executable and its working fine, so probably some bad binary from internet archive.
Im old goal oriented goatman, i care about facts and freedom, not about egos+prejudices. Hoarding=sickness. If you want respect, gain it by your behavior. I hate stupid SW limits, SW=virtual world, everything should be possible if you have enough raw HW.
