What's the oldest software you are running? Ever thought about replacing it? Are you afraid it might stop working on future versions of your OS?

Can't use dosbox, or qemu or some kind of emulation? Or does it rely on cpu timing?

I had a program that flashed a laptop BIOS through the serial port that needed like a 66 MHz CPU to function properly. Any faster than that and you had to run an infinite loop program to slow the CPU down.

The best image editing software. I haven't tried it on Windows 10 and I don't really care because I just plan to use Windows 7 forever.

my old school had one for an engraving machine... I always thought about dissassembling the code or getting some kind of sniffer on the connection and just seeing if i could write my own

Would be a fun project to try if you can code.

Windows 7.

>Ever thought about replacing it?
I might think about it if games stop supporting Windows 7 as a first-class citizen. Which might be the case already.

>Are you afraid it might stop working on future versions of your OS?
I'm not very afraid. All of the best games run on Linux as well, so I wouldn't be losing that much.

Go jerk off to your higan some more. Your favorite emulator is poorly coded trash in a shit language. Zsnes is coded in THE SAME LANGUAGE THAT SNES WAS, is fast, and will run on anything. You elitists are cock suckers. I bet you're an archfag.
