The day I installed Windows 8.1 is still stuck in my mind as that's the first time newer tech looked unappealing. Like, I knew Vista had issues and had experienced some of them when using PC's that weren't mine, but high-school me still looked at Vista as something to upgrade to once my own …

Hm. I'm not sure if I can join this discussion here, since "performance" is subjective. but.. Our family PC in 2000 was a Pentium III 733 MHz running Windows 98SE. It had a Nvidia GeForce 2 (I think, didn't care so much), 20 GB HDD, 128MB of RAM and an on-board sound that had an optional SB16 …

Hi there! I've used to play SRB2 both on real hardware and in Virtual PC 2004 and 2007 (Win XP host). Here, I had different VMs using Windows 98, XP and Windows NT 4.

We're all talking digital CGA from the DE-9 connector here, but the original IBM CGA also output analog composite, which was admittedly slightly fuzzy, but a ) is far better supported by newer devices (I have TFT screens with native composite in as well as any old CRT TV able to take NTSC composite …

Re: MsDos Virtual Keyboard?

Posted on 2024-09-03, 04:40

Windows 3.1 for pen computing has at least a virtual keyboard. Good to know, I figured there would be some Win3.11 virtual keyboard options. There's also Teclado . I've used it on 3.1 when I was a child, it has VB1 source code. Might run on Win 3.0, thus. Also there's probably something around the …

The C64 may have been advanced for the time, but it many ways it was very limited. I spent a LOT of time on it and got pretty good at assembly. The sprite graphics were great, but 8 was just not enough. And things that we take for granted today, like even display a picture in even 256 colors, …
