You are running a _patched_ version of Windows ME. The original Windows ME will just crash on first boot if you try to use it. The fact that _you have to search_ to find the fix to use it proves my point...
Why does it matter if it's "0.0000001%" of the spec they broke, if it's exactly the .% a major operating system needs to run? Does it matter if they break "0.1%" or "50%" of the spec if as a consequence your 50 year old software doesn't run any more?
- hu3 2y agoIt matters because running old software is still trivial.
- AshamedCaptain 2y agoSorry, but once you have to resort to emulation or patching binaries, I can hardly think it anymore as trivial. Or that they care about backwards compatibility. You are lucky someone has figured out whatever needs to be patched here. You won't be next time.
