How come /v/ doesn't do file sharing threads like /mu/ and /gd/ do?

We used to you but you're too new for that. Used to have Filezilla servers up with all kinds of games to download and such. /g/ had one too.

Because if the game you're looking for is

a) fairly recent
you can torrent find a torrent in thirty seconds

b) kind of old and obscure
you can buy it from GoG for peanuts

Original.
Supposedly later windows OS don't like how it tries to use its sprites from a sheet or some shit, and the entire game runs like rancid ass, if you're lucky enough to make it past the intro movie.

Just took a gander. Game uses 8bit colour which unfortunately causes a ton of compatibility problems with modern OS.

Not sure why a WinXP VM isn't built-in as a standard feature these days to handle older shit, in particular DirectX8 and lower titles.

Because ultimately it's not a feature many people are ever going to use, even in a developer or business context.

It's pretty much only going to be used by gamers and they have free alternatives anyway.

No you see we're trying to discuss emulation of older video games and you took that as an opportunity to post about how much you hate windows.

Now get that through your thick skull and stop posting. We all know that microsoft are a bunch of greedy assholes and the state of modern development, it's not what anybody is fucking talking about.

>>334579093
We're talking about options for backwards compatibility being natively installed within modern OS without jumping through some loopholes or having to flat out pay for them.

Works fine for me on Win10, with Win7 comp mode and reduced colour to 16-bit.
Without the compatibility settings the sprites had no transparency.
The music sounds off though, almost like if it's off-key, but I'm not sure about that. Also, there's always the possibility that it will screw up later when in the temple. I loaded my save and it worked fine, but since you always restart from outside it wasn't much help.
>>
>>334583207
It recorded everything on your screen and the guy behind it had some control over the computer.
He liked to mess with people who downloaded it, and yes, he got some credit card numbers out of it.

There was one screencap I can't find where he made an error message pop up that said "please insert floppy dick into floppy dick drive"

Found this when I was looking for BGMs because I'm working on a new playlist.

I'd love to get some artbooks though.
