emulator thingy??
What if there was a kind of emulator kinda thing that supports win95 -> win7 that allows you to run newer apps almost flawlessly (from win10, linux etc) without issues

It does, have used it. It needs quite a lot of dependencies but once you get it working it works wellR3n wrote: ↑12 Jun 2021, 11:34I think something exists to play Win 10 Minecraft on Linux, but idfk for certain.MelonicOverlord wrote: ↑12 Jun 2021, 11:07 What if there was a kind of emulator kinda thing that supports win95 -> win7 that allows you to run newer apps almost flawlessly (from win10, linux etc) without issues

Virtual Machines? Of course they aren't 100% perfect and they need more cpu power than a real computer.
Lately, I tested Teamspeak 2 (the voice-chat program that runs on everything between Win98 and Win10) on Linux. And it worked within a WinXP virtual machine, that can connect to the internet. The VM was VirtualBox.

This: a lot of old DOS-Win9x games require direct access, hardware acceleration/DirectX (or Glide API) support tends to be rather patchy in VMs, etc. etc.R3n wrote: ↑13 Jun 2021, 06:35Some applications need direct hardware access.Bird wrote: ↑13 Jun 2021, 05:15 Virtual Machines?

Your best bet is something like Bochs/QEMU/KVM or PCem/86box, though there could be something else available here too.
