5/10/2023 0 Comments Windows 10 virtualbox only 32 bit![]() ![]() But if you Google a bit, the workarounds for compatibility are available.Īlso, a lot of games and apps in those days would basically "hack" Windows and hook into various process and drivers in non standard ways and use various undocumented APIs so it's no wonder they don't work in later versions of windows anymore regardless of the compatibility setting you use. You can't expect modern Windows to ship 20+ year old DLLs that allow running Windows 98 APIs as that's a major security vulnerability since older APIs had direct hardware/memory access without any kind of checks and balances. If you would have Googled the issue, you would have found tons of forum and reddit posts explaining how to run it on modern Windows. I had to copy some missing deprecated Direct Draw DLLs that don't ship with modern Windows anymore and everything worked. Mate, I played Red Alert 2 off the original 1999(?) ISO last month on my Windows 11 installation. Never got it running even in compatibility mode and changing the bit depth. >A lot of games, Red Alert 2 off the top of my head. ![]() Wine is one of a few exceptions with some companies in its ecosystem, but generally speaking there's not enough upstream-work jobs for a lot of important open source software infrastructure. The real challenge for the open source community is how hard it still is to make a living sticking to the original open source work, instead of taking your talent and leaving one day. If you want to end up highly-compensated, it's a great way to spend your time. In my company, the folks who spent time in the community generally noticeably out-perform the ones who grew up exclusively in industry (which should trouble industry) at similar years of experience. Participating in a well-organized open source project confers extremely rich experience, and employers do take notice. I think it's reasonable to expect both, even if indirectly. These last paragraphs just made me realise how grateful I am to people who work on these open source projects without expecting any compensation or even praise for their work. ![]()
