Forgive me for bumping this topic after three months, but after going each post, I think I might have found a solution for browsing the modern web on retro web browsers. I've been using this proxy on my Raspberry Pi 3 to connect to my Win98SE Dell computer via wireless connection called Browservice. …

Here's my computing area: A Surface Book and a Dell Dimension XPS T500. Which Surface Book are you using? Is it really that good? I'm interested in knowing more and experimenting since I've seen one of my customers last year at work with one in our conference room. I am using the Surface Book 1.

Hello, There is an issue I have been having for a long time now when playing Dark Seed II on my Windows 98 computer. Whenever the characters start talking, the voices crack and skip over most of the dialogue. In other words, the characters' voices do not play over the whole sentences. Only on some …

Thanks for the resources. I heard that Java can be a memory hog, but what about using an old version of Java?

I think it was inevitable that the web would evolve to a point where it would be impractical for everyday use on 9x systems. Even archive.org, where we could get old contents like audio, videos, pictures,and snapshots of websites, cannot render properly on KernelEx-enabled browsers or third-party …

Not as far as I can see. There is CHASM.CFG, but it is not human-readable. Let's go back to the basics - is your keyboard PS/2 or USB? Chasm is a weird game; maybe they coded it specifically to work with a PS/2 keyboard only (if that's even possible). And try a different keyboard if you have such …

Let's check first if it's a problem with the entire keyboard or just with Escape. Try jumping directly to the first level by starting the game as follows: chasm -warp 1 And see if you can move around, shoot, etc. Okay, so here's what I discovered; after entering that command and starting at the …

I understand that Kali is a software that emulates an IPX network over TCP/IP and its used primarily for playing DOS games over the network. However, last I read, the Kali community is still active, but development is all but dead. When I start Kali, I am prompted to do an update, but the progress …
