And it would even run with a 10V battery. Because one battery compartment leaked and i just punched a large nail in …

Tried the emulator. Tried some games and demos. And frogot about it. Nice effort. But kinda pointless. But i am really thinking to buy NuXT by the way.

Good old X codec pack has X265 and runs in 98. And low bitrate/low resolution X265 is no problem for slower computers.

Thanx. I'll put it in my personal retroarchive. PS. It runs buttersmooth with a Pentium and a PCI videocard. Love the retro/matrix look. Nerdly pleasures, as one of our friend said and did. And by the way, dark corners are more scarier and darker. It is like silent 8bit sounds. The last version with …

Like the Unix guys said, you can make 80% of functionality with 20% effort. Or something like that. Those advanced stuff is not needed. But it would be nice to feed your retro DOS computer with an old little retro XP/7 machine.

Usually I stay away from P4 stuff. And P3 dual is a nice find, if you have one. It might run NT dual cpu kernel.
