Same. I just can't use the new purple theme. I can't even figure out how to change themes... Go to User Control Panel (you find that in the menu when you click your avatar on the top right corner), then click "Edit Display Options". Then check "Use old skool colour scheme" image_2025-04-10_ …

Am I the only one who thinks phpBB is just "bleh" when it comes to forum software? Randomly erroring with "Submitted form was invalid", losing post content if session expires, unintuitive quoting...just a primitive pile of poop stuck in the 90s... How about the fact that I accidentally clicked to …

is there a way to hide posts? There's a user who I blocked, but still see their posts. I would like to not see them ;) although I don't have any opinion here, what strange thing on VOGONS would turn away your eyes at that extent?😮 Multiple posts from a user, none of whose topics interest me. I do …

Why wouldn't you use FATXplorer by Eaton Works to interact with a XBOX or 360 HDD?

@ldeveraux yep! Those games :) And yeah I know about that site, I've visited it regularly. I actually run a couple linux BBSes and have my favorite doorgames set up on them. Linux native doors back in the day were hardly a thing though so the bulk of games are run in a DOS emulator. Oh fun, I …

For years (a decade? more?) I've been scouring the internet for old BBS software, source codes, keygens (from original authors after projects were abandoned of course), and door games. The door games are the most interesting to me as of right now. There are so many out there and such variety, it's …

I've been looking for an old Hypercard Mac game called Name That Guitarist for 10 years. I've scoured the internet and even reached out to the developer. I've found files but cannot get it to run in any environment I tried. I don't think it was released in a box, likely a disk in a sleeve IIRC. I'm …
Re: Essential Windows 98SE software and tweaks?
Posted on 2024-10-31, 14:51
To be honest, a lot of the apps I used back in the day, I would no longer use on a retro PC: NERO - why risk failing to burn CDs? MSN Messenger - defunct. ICQ - same. I still use Nero Burning ROM version 6 f.e. to burn CDs for my car's CD player. I came here for this too! I've never had an issue …
Re: Backing up (Imaging) an old 486 laptop with dead floppy drive

Why are you opposed to opening a laptop in 2024? It is a Toshiba T1950CT, which has hard drive buried in the case. So it takes at least 2 hours to get it out and back together. They put the hard drive first in the bottom case, after that they put everything else on top. I had disassembled it one or …

Folks, it's a mouse cursor, get over it. You probably don't use high-dpi screen with scaling. It shows, isn't it embarrassing? (Your post contributes *nothing* to the discussion.

Re: Dos questions

This is really cool, and even more impressive that you were able to multi-boot all those ancient OSes. My suggestion would be to backup your DOS 6 install and install 7 to test it. If it doesn't work, just remove 7 and copy 6 back.
Re: My experience returning to Win98 after 25 years
Posted on 2024-05-14, 11:45
Windows 98 is just a nostalgia machine, IMO. I started out with it when I got back into vintage computing, but the bugs and stability issues are just obnoxious. Eject a CD? Nah, Windows 9x is still randomly locking onto it--blue screen. Put the CD back in, hit enter, and then eject it again. It's …
