I haven’t seen a community dedicated to Windows 9x yet, so I decided to make it myself.

    I still remember the windows Xp compatibility problems with old software and games. And windows 10/11 didn’t make those problems go away, instead it got worse. Old software is not a priority, understandably.

    For example have you tried to play Dungeon Keeper 2 on a modern pc? I have, and it crashes constantly. Other software won’t even run a lot of the times, even with tinkering.

    DOSBox made using DOS software accessible. There is not a catch-all like that for pre XP windows software yet.

    Also this community is mostly for/about nostalgia.

      There was an emulator I saw a video on not too long ago that fully emulates hardware from the 9x era and could run anything for those operating systems. Can’t for the life of me remember what it was called though
