│└■Teh issue with VMs, PC emulators, etc. is that they always come with a
│ certain degree of latency (sometimes a significant amount), as well as
│ inconsistent frame and input timing
│
│ It's not so bad for slow-paced RPGs and strategy games, but
│ action/shooter games are made far less enjoyable (;´Д`)
│
│ Worse still is that Win9x-era hardware is now stupidly expensive to buy
│ second hand... it saddens me that my okaasan threw away our Win95 PC
│ with Voodoo2 card 22 years ago (;´Д`)
│
└■Even with the appropriate compatibility mode? (;´Д`)
│
└■Yeah - in fact that rarely ever works (;´Д`)
│
│People have made wrappers, patches, remakes, etc. for the most popular
│games, but anything less popular from that time is often bug-ridden,
│unplayable, or even un-installable (;´Д`)
