New update coming for our 1-year anniversary and looming 1 million views! We've been working on this for many months: the ability to create and store files on the Windows 99 Desktop (and in subsequent folders). A lot of edge cases to debug, but it's coming along nicely! https://d2w9rnfcy7mm78.cloudfront.net/44148576/original_6cfc108bdfbac23d30a06eb5e08f69cc.png

I love polls. Also I was poking around in Paint again and I noticed the dithering filter which is really cool - and the adjust pixel size which I haven't really seen before. It reminds me of DOS games like Doom... where did you get the idea for that? I'd like to read more about it. Also random related fun thing I found recently: https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Artwork_of_Doom the process of how they made Doom graphics

I really liked Rodent's Revenge and also this version of Pipe Dream https://www.mobygames.com/game/2112/pipe-dream/screenshots/win3x/246404/

I wish I had an elaborate story to tell about the downsampling feature but I really was just trying to build a pixelate feature, and I figured it might look nice in Dithering Effects/Dither Pro 99 as well :) Thanks for sharing the Doom stuff!

You can access the old 3di games via hshop on a modded 3ds. Its a little bit of a process though, if you haven't done it.

Oh sick! I've actually never owned a 3ds, so idk much about the games on that shop did they have dsi shop games

win1999's avatar win1999 1 week ago

Yeah! I dusted off my 3ds which I haven't touched in a few years. It has DSiWare games, as well as 3ds and Virtual Console. I'm revisiting brain age right now, one of my favorites.

i'm thinking about buying another thinkpad just to run Windows 2000 and freeDOS. some people might say i have too many thinkpads (2, going on 3). looking for moral support.

I'm thinking about buying another ThinkPad as a dedicated memory tester with just memtest86+ on the uefi and no operating system or hard drive at all... so I support you xD

@onio i was hoping to hear something like that!! i started looking into quadbooting and then just figured why not get a dedicated machine that doesn't have UEFI to avoid all the issues
