Are you just playing Morrowind as it was, or are you using OpenMW?
Just as it was. I was trying to play it in an xp vm but virtual box dropped 3d acceleration support for xp a while ago. So I’m stuck with games like the sims, sim city 3000 on my. 2002 larp machine
I’m kinda into doing things the old way. The old internet, mp3 player, etc
This is seriously awesome (✷‿✷)
Yeah I love what I call my 2002 LARP VM. lol what has been amazing, is the ability to find old installers of old versions of programs and the original isos of games on Internet archive and other places. It’s such a resource.
I now deeply desire a 2002 LARP VM. I got my own computer around 2001/2002 so it'll be a huge nostalgic trip for me ಥ‿ಥ
Highly recommend. Let me know if you do. I have links to most of the software still
Oh yeah, all the software on the xp vm is period correct releases. No versions past 2002. Including Winamp. Just the browser is a current and safe alternative web browser
XP had a fair number of years before Vista came out, you could even get up to 2005 and still be period accurate
Nice.
