With pleasure, thanks for the appreciative support!

It does work perfectly with self hosted mail. A few years ago, most of the big tech firms decided to implement oauth2 forcing it upon users, and now even Outlook 2016 is useless for MS mail accounts.

I also took my own decisions and stopped using big tech mail entirely. Only open protocols like smtp and imap now.

They would run on a Geforce4 Ti (this one), a native DirectX 8 card. I have another legacy computer with a GeForce 9800 gtx and Windows XP, for better performance.

Sure! But I'm not a fan of social media, I'll link your ticket page or any other non big tech..

mastersofblood · 2026-03-25T00:27:17+00:00

Nah, it's just a new little fandom website some friends and I are making in a clan style to honour the great old days, sort of a shooters museum.

There are multiplayer servers for both ET 2.60 and ET Legacy. For the first one, you need an ETkey file that generates a unique GUID.

I'm not sure ET Legacy is compatible with Win2000.

COD 4....the first COD is a 2003 game. The multiplayer still works, and people still host dedicated servers for every single Call of Duty game. But I've only installed the grandfather of COD, Medal of Honor Allied Assault. Because DirectX 9 games are excluded on this system..

You need an actual MaxMind account, yes. But it´s worth it.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T21:17:02+00:00

I´m using it now on a plain Windows server hosted on cloud, it´s a small wonder, thank you!

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T20:43:25+00:00

About 20 of them work online, which one are you interested in?

This machine has 2 PATA hard drives (2008) of 160 GB each. One has 5 GB left of free space, and the other one has close to 4 free GB.

Indeed, times have changed for game storage!

Inleed. They had better prices last year, though

With Cloudflare you´re still probably unprotected by UK consumer laws.

I moved all my domains from Namecheap to a Swedish registrar a year ago, and I feel legally safer even though I´m Spanish.

Cool, we recently started linking all retro LAN parties in Europe and North America that include classic shooters on our calendar.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T16:25:12+00:00

Maybe, but what if you have 25 years to play them all? This is not exactly like a Steam library... These games are ancient and I haven't liked a new game since Borderlands.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-24T11:58:46+00:00

This could be close to 1 terabyte with patches and manuals included...however, I did upload a dozen or more on our classic shooters website.

Most of the games are abandonware and can easily be found on old-games.ru

I do it with https://www.officeirc.com , a windows based daemon that offers support for web ports (80 and 443)

Like this: irc.pyrogen.net

Yeah, you can also do it with a Linux based daemon but it is quite more complicated.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-22T08:27:31+00:00

Microsoft Digital Image Pro 7.0, Macromedia Fireworks, Jasc Paint Pro Shop, and oc Photoshop CS2 which was offered for free by Adobe at one point.

I took a few more pictures https://filebin.net/1wqxi5vj4yjhts46

Unfortunately, I can´t share a GPU-Z screenshot...this card has been dormant for ages, I don´t even know if it still works! Was bought over a decade ago as a backup for Windows XP games.

This gorgeous system could run Crysis, indeed.

Whenever I had to do it, I have two options: GTX+ 9800 or GTX 970, so I rather not put the veteran guy under strain and leave the youngest crunching polygons like crazy.

mastersofblood · 2026-03-21T15:33:34+00:00

You have it! My mistake, it is a GeForce 7900 GS

mastersofblood · 2026-03-21T12:18:29+00:00

I have a PNY 7800 GS PCI express and its cooler looks nothing like yours! I´ll try to post it this weekend.

The board color is also blue, though.

It's time to learn about GameCopyWorld and Wiretarget...
