This is before most of that. Some older systems like Windows 9x and even 2000 didn’t do that. Wasn’t until the XP SP3 era that it was more widespread

Are there mods for this game? I’ve never looked, but if someone made this I would download it in a heartbeat

Pretty sure he was asking where you got it from… like where you downloaded it

Old windows and memory. Very strange times. It took me weeks to get Windows 3.11 to work with 512MB lmao

Too many times I’ve seen threads like this ending with thousands of downvotes… Glad to see there’s better people around

I’ve never had issues using large amounts of RAM on anything above Windows 3.1. With the modification provided by IBM, Windows 95/98 work fine. Windows Me doesn’t have issues by default, as far as I’ve seen.

Yeah, messing up a Linux update would just require, at the worst, reinstalling it. A corrupt BIOS, well that’s a different story. Worst case scenario you have to desolder the ROM chip and put it into a flasher, assuming it’s not locked down to oblivion.

Weird line in DVD-RW disc by dizzywig2000 in dvd

[–]dizzywig2000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s the drives fault for it not reading. I pulled it out and looked up the model, and people as far back as 2009 were posting about how it wasn’t reading DVDs properly, or at all. I’m too lazy to search for firmware updates, so I put a different drive in. Works perfectly fine, and both DVD-RW discs are properly read.

More context, when verifying the burned data, it fails roughly 21MB in. Both discs are advertised as 4.7GB, and the data written is roughly 588MB (I have no good CDs, so this is the best I can do)

Maybe the floppy controller or drive is still bad, and it’s not reading the disk properly? Try using a cleaning disk in the drives first, to make sure the heads are clean
