Why would we want Interstate 76 game graphics updated? They are good as they are. Personal taste btw. Some games wouldn’t even get a remaster because we now live in a world where they have to be “politically correct”. Duke Nukem is a perfect example, and I love this game.

I just fixed my Win98 VM drivers for USB (for some reason after an UTM update, Win98 started asking for them) and now I'm back. I'm even posting this from my Win98 Netscape 9 Browser. Vogons JS and CSS do not work anyway.

I was going to say 4D Sports Boxing because I haven't found a boxing game since with such compelling game-play, but then it occurred to me that the graphics and sound are awesome too so there's actually nothing to improve in a modern version 👍 F...!! I forgot that game!! Thanks, another game to my …

Regarding Half-Life on UTM in this video, there are a few things you should consider: - That video is from 1 year ago, UTM has improved massively in the last 12 months; - The youtuber is using a 64-bit Windows XP edition, not really a good idea for a 1998 32-bit game and for emulation. Nevertheless, …

ruthan has a point. Look at people doing different DOSBox builds, they do not behave like superstars. They do not tell you to do ultracomplex “recipes” to compile yourself your build after installing 29474737 dependencies. They release full complete builds. DOSBox-X in particular, Jonathan Campbell …

All those emulation solutions would be much better served if the developers of all them had the good will to share their ideas and methods between them and the community. They could (proactively) help eachother to improve and the retro/gaming community would hugely benefit from that. As of now we …

With a Netscape and roytam1’s NSS patch to bring TLS 1.2, I can surf a good amount of websites on Windows 98. However I use it only when I know where is what I want to download or read. for example, I can log into VOGONS, but CSS and JS does not work so well. Same for MSFN. For retro networking to …

I don't know how well Rosetta binary translation would work on old Windows games from the late 90's til 2001's era. If it works, then it is no doubt the best option. DOSBox dynamic_x64 is the fastest CPU recompiler I have seen. I have measured scenarios that it could be as good as WHPX on Windows. …

For Windows 2000 multi core or dual cpu, I would recommend referring to the folks here with a similar issue: https://msfn.org/board/topic/174127-info-on-w … r-cpu-machines/ Sounds like the Update Rollup 1 has broken support for dual cpus. Well done, Microsoft.

Here's another trend: Widescreen monitors vs old-style squared monitors, for both desktop and notebook pcs? Which one people prefer? Now every screen (computer/tv/mobile devices) are widescreen. This is nuts.

I just can't understand why Microsoft does not make available as a single download from an downloads page. I very much prefer to shut down automatic updates completely and choose religiously what I want to update or not, whenever I want, not when they want me to. I stripped down a Windows 10 VM ( …

You can criticize USB-C all you want, but this change is happening as we talk now. IMO In at least two years or less everyone will have moved to USB-C and drop older USB ports. I have nothing against USB-C anyway, but I am not defending it either. I am just saying this change was and is inevitable. …

Everytime I see an article on Slashdot about the latest ruinous Windows 10 update it just further cements my intention to stick with Windows 7 (audience gasps). 7? I stick with 2000/XP lol. I never liked Vista, I almost threw up with 7 (never liked the Aero Glass theme), and I kicked the butt of …
