Due to server slowness, downtime, and other issues, Eclipse will be moving to a more stable and efficient platform that should result in much better stability. There is no timeline for this yet, just want you to know what's happening with all the downtime and I have a plan to fix it.

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.
