Windows games on reactos.

I'm impressed with the compatibility but if they developed it like dosbox and strictly for games then maybe it would have been successful for games that would be self contained packages
Unreal Tournament 2004 CD Key Fix
Posted on 2022-05-12, 23:03
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 (edit by Dominus: key removed) I saved this key from gog.com when I bought it but I got it on steam too, so this is a valid key for the game, it doesn't do key validation check when connecting to servers or LAN gaming so go ahead, I stick to UT99 though

I download the original CD from somewhere or rarely get it from a friend. In this way I get clean stock game. And now I may also install it on 9X if I want. Technically, that's still piracy. Maybe someday GOG will finally include original ISOs as bonus goodies. The ISO is there in the install …

That's coming from a company which is actively trying to fool customers that they don't own anything on account and just "rent" it. The saving grace here is that their DRM is not intrusive and could be cracked on client level, should Steam go under. But Valve is just too big to fail now. Yes, this …

Steam apparently has a contingency plan for keeping access to the games you've bought. Should Valve go under.

Gonna be 30 years old, an old operating system as old as the linux kernel, learned a new term... Anhedonia

I hate getting older, most of the tech I don't seem to understand these days, and it's going to replace me. I try to learn the new lingo and the new tech but I suffer from anhedonia, or similar to burnout. After living minimally and spartan, I realize how much fluff stuff is these days. I wasn't …

I guess that NFT is a new marketing word for microtransaction. There are some differences (about uniqueness of the items you "get", and about the ecological imprint), but the concept is the same: the developer/editor makes you pay for some items in-game. Soooo... why NFTs whould be treated …

IPX is still on my to-do list for RetroNAS. But I've got some nagging networking stuff I want to get out the door first - a basic LAN segmenter with firewall and DHCP server, and some PPP over serial stuff. IPX/SPX, my days of using Novell Netware have served me well, considering how I was able to …

Hi all. Wanted to share my experience with GoG distros of Interplay classic Star Trek games (both are green on the spreadsheet). 25th Anniversary I was able to install and run without burning an image, using SHSUCDHD instead. To install to non-C drive I had to follow default installer options and …

My take on GOG games: PROs : DRM free, which is especially nice for games which originally shipped with rootkit crap like StarForce Standalone offline installers. These make it very easy to transfer games to an offline WinXP retro rig DOS GOG games can be installed on a modern system (via included …

Digital game collection addiction
Posted on 2022-04-15, 02:23
I think steam gog and other platforms made me a digital addict I collect games but never play them usually old dos games that work in dosbox. I spent so much money for a collection that's utterly useless more worthless than physical dos game media.

I got that game as part of the emissary gift pack but I gave up trying to get it to run outside of virtual machine so I just watched the cutscenes. Most windows games during that period just are terrible with compatibility on modern systems. If I were you I'd keep a win xp virtual machine in virtual …
