Although the thread is getting hacked and this particular conversation won't go anywhere and having heard enough, so I will be settling the points here- The reason when I said "unreasonable" is behind standardisation. Most of the apps I run are either from 1995-2005 or the absolute latest. For 95% …

I'll probably spread some FUD here. Back in the last days of Windows XP, in 2008, I tried to use Windows 2000 on older computer. It was conquered by network worms the same minute I connected it to the Internet via provider LAN cable, without a router, and became unusable. So I installed some …

@BEEN_Nath_58: how is using an alternative installer unreasonable? It fixed everything for me easily for all the old games I have installed so far where the original installer is not compatible with the modern Windows and/or Windows complains it can't run said installer for no reason. You just …

Some old games use old installers which don't work and the workaround (often mentioned in pcgamingwiki guides) is to use an alternate installer or manually copy the game files. I had to use an alternate installer for Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3D, for example. This installer works. Star Wars Rogue …

Right, but the entire emulation depends of his host cpu single core performance. Multi core performance helps nothing with emulation. It's pretty simple. https://86box.readthedocs.io/en/latest/usage/ … tem-will-handle

IIRC the 32 bit builds run better on Windows, yes. I just don't remember why. I just needed to know which host cpu you had - since the entire emulation runs in a single core of that cpu. Refer to the geekbench's single core score of your CPU: https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i7- …

I played a bit of Rise of the Tomb Raider today. Still trying to escape the Gulag. The survivor trilogy is indeed more focused on combat and shooting fights rather than deciphering and breaking tombs, like the old Lara Croft used to do. I don't know if I like it; mixed feelings about that. https:// …

I have been using 86box for a few years since I got into M1 Macs, and their support on it has been stellar since day one, thanks to coldbrewed, battler and others. About its performance, it performs as expected. I have four machines, spanning across the 90's, an early 90's dos/w311, mid 90's win 95, …
