Doom most probably use a very superficial part of windows. Mainly, whatever is needed to put a framebuffer on screen. So although this is definitely a good news, it's not that impressive. Does it run MS Word or Visual Basic ?
- badsectoracula 9y agoAssuming you mean VB6, apparently yes but with some glitches: http://s14.postimg.org/7xggyma75/VB6_React_OS.png (not my image and it is 3 years old so it might work better now)
- Koshkin 9y agoNote that VB6 was released in 1998 and thus was expected to work on Windows 95/98 and NT4 (and Windows 2000 when it came out). It is kind of sad to see that ReactOS is not there yet...
- badsectoracula 9y agoMy guess is that most of API is generally there, but the issues i mentioned elsewhere in this post with the region stuff cause the glitches. This looks like a simple thing to fix (i've implemented regions at the past in an experimental winsys i was writing on Linux [0] so i have a general idea of how they work) for someone with knowledge about ReactOS' graphics stack, so i suppose there are reasons it hasn't been fixed yet (maybe it relies on driver support and they plan to change the driver model? Just an assumption). [0] https://i.imgur.com/v6NaqNW.png https://i.imgur.com/v6NaqNW.png
