Just tried CART Precision Racing on my Win2k, it was as bad as before. Now installed Papyrus IndyCar Racing II, much better on my VM for MSDOS622+Win311. I have a few more games that may be better suited for my Win2k VM. Next games on the list: FIFA 97 - Garbage , NR2003, Daytona USA, and Grand Prix …

Recreated a few Windows 3.11 virtual machines. The one on my iPad Pro is amazing, has networking. Im now definitely spending more time on my iPad than my MacBook Pro. After setting up my VMs, I will proceed to some proper retro nostalgia. Headphones on, 80s songs playlist set up, lets see some …

Apparently carmen sandiego's game has an issue with the sound. The log from vmware fusion has some lines about the sound before the VM gets shut down when running the game. Strange. Well, theres a VMWare Fusion update apparently, lets see... EDIT: For now I just keep an older version of the game ( …

I just had a nightmare last 24h attempting to free more ram for MicroProse's F1 Grand Prix (1991), after several errors and incredible mistakes from my part (I can't even describe them since I am ashamed of them) I managed to make my VM run the game. Now there's only the Carmen Sandiego's game to …

Reinstalled UTM app on my iPad, and instead of Windows 2000 (laggy), I used a copy of my Windows 3.11 VMware machine. Remember, UTM is a QEMU wrapper for iOS. Imagine my happiness and surprise when I saw that it worked and I can connect to google.com with IE5.0 and use mIRC (even joined #VOGONS …

Yup. After I proceeded to update everything and install a great browser, turns out that Youtube is damn, damn slow. The browser is even slower under QEMU. I threw it straight to the bin, and decided to stick with the only Win2k VM I have perfectly working here - The VMWare Fusion one. A lost weekend …

I will update and then try again WinZip. I have WinZip working in another Win2k install. I just have to …

Something probably wasn't properly installed in my Win2k QEMU. I cannot update the Windows Update Agent with the WUA installer (reports unrecoverable error and complains about the lack of MSVCRT90.dll) and I cannot install last supported WinZip version too. While on VMWare I  can still access …

I installed OS/2 Warp 4 on my 1997 budget workstation build. I thought about dedicating one of my retro boxes to OS/2 as well, so yesterday I gave it a try in a VirtualBox VM, which worked out surprisingly well. Having never used that OS before, I wonder which version to install. Plain OS/2 Warp 4 …

I installed OS/2 Warp 4 on my 1997 budget workstation build. The eyes of my dad had nostalgia tears when he saw that. hahaha! Oh sweet. How old is he? What is his experience with OS/2? So curious! He probably used previous versions. He has a still unboxed OS2 Warp 4 CD box stored somewhere in his …

For QEMU0002 you can try the guest drivers, unknown if they work in Windows 2000: https://github.com/virtio-win/kvm-guest-drivers-windows/releases For PNP0103 that's HPET and isn't supported in Windows 2000. Should be disabled in the BIOS if can't be used. I somehow fixed the issue turning off the …
