Why are girls afraid of PC emulators and old DOS games? All I want is to see a loli install MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 and play Descent running at 320x200 resolution on a 386 with 4MB of memory.
>>109014065Okay grandpa, time to put you to bed.
>>109014065what unc yapping about
>>109014065Corpos can get DMCA'd for using emulators.Nintendo specifically is draconian about them but just in general they're more stigmatized in Japan because of how strict their copyright laws are, so they're largely avoided.Indies will use them regularly but the bigger ones will tend to avoid Sony and Nintendo emus for fear of getting their channel nuked.
>>109014065you'd have better odds asking about it in /vrt/ since that is a thread for retro gaming vtubers
>>109014065Fuck off with your modern shit, I want to see a hag playing zork on a PDP-10 emulator
>>109014232>the bigger ones will tend to avoid Sony and Nintendo emus for fear of getting their channel nukedWestern streamers play pokemon romhacks all the time with little to no consequences
>>109014263See filename>>109014232Okay but what does Nintendo and Sony have to do with PC emulators? Microsoft isn’t going to DMCA for MS-DOS and many makers of PC games from the 80s and 90s aren’t even around anymore.
>>109014065Because1) nobody would watch it2) for corpochuubas it would be too much headache to get the perms3) all DOS games that may be worth playing have easier way to access them (like console ports)
>>109014065This is like me asking where the Vectrex game playthroughs are.Nobody other than me fucking cares. I'm sorry.
>>109014065Doesn't Dianko play DOS games like every two weeks?
>>109014065Most worthwhile DOS games are available for purchase on storefronts (Steam/GOG/etc) in pre-wrapped DOSbox packages
I recommend amiya aranha, she prefers original hardware over emus though. For instance she got a pc98 setup to stream games from.
>>109015045It’s not all about the game though. The repackaged shit is not authentic to what I remember. What is the point of retro PC gaming if you don’t turn the thing on and watch the BIOS count the ram and boot into DOS and fuck around with your Soundblaster driver in config.sys?
>>109014065Most people don't want to fuck with that stuff, regardless of gender. Us olds can tolerate it when the nostalgia bug bites, but let's keep it real, DOS and Windows have always sucked shit. And having to deal with that shit on stream would be a pain in the ass for even the most dedicated nerd.
>>109014294Why not a real PDP-10?
>>109015978sounds like a JAV code
>>109014065just run game in dosbox or if too hard get it from gog
>>109014416they are not bound by jp laws
>>109014065>german>autisticakin to ceramics
>>109014065What a coincidence, I have the thread just for you.>>109006495>but I want holos to do it!Well too fucking bad.
>>109014065>why nobody wants to deal with my ancient shit that everyone found miserable at the time and was happy to move to new platforms and OS
>>109015239Why would anyone be nostalgic for fucking dos of all things, it's like the shit transition period from retro to modern
>>109016955See filename.>>109016980Either you weren't alive at the time or you have forgotten. Computers were more awesome then than they were now.>>109017542The fuck? DOS and PC gaming was around even before the NES.You naysayers don't trust in autism.
>>109017723>Computers were more awesome then than they were nowThis is your mind on terminal contrarianism
>>109017802No. Look at all the computer movies from the 1980s. Wargames. Tron. Electric Dreams. They had the general public fascinated. Same thing with the internet in the 1990s. Now people treat personal computers like a mere appliance.
>>109014065pato plays old DOS and PC engine games all the time.
>>109014065Mona Monet did some streams messing around with TempleOS and lecturing on its history
>>109014065literally you already have unctions for that
>>109017723What are ypu even nostalgic for? A command line?
>>109017945https://youtube.com/shorts/uYsvODiSZekReally the same thing everyone else is nostalgic for. More innocent times.
>>109018053So someone must suffer dealing with ancient software junk just to tickle your nostalgia? Get your meds grandpa
>>109018092I have money.
>>109014065Normalfags and Redditors are terrified of it still for some reason. That makes it difficult to convince managers and you risk getting cancelled. Or at least that's how they think of it.
>>109014065You're looking for Mint Fantome she does this shit all the time
>>109014065You will have your wish-fulfillment and more but it will come in the form of a Neuro-style AI loli.
>>109014855>3) all DOS games that may be worth playing have easier way to access them (like console ports)Old person here. I started to think about old DOS games that are still worthwhile in any way and would not have any modern ports.- Star Control 2 - open source port- System Shock - GOG- Doom - open source port (same for Duke3D)- Nethack // ADOM - ports exist- X-Com 1 & 3 - Steam- Lucasarts adventure games - ScummVM- Sierra adventure games - agile etc.These might be viable:- Lemmings 1 & 2 (Amiga versions are worse)- Mechwarrior 2- Prince of Persia 1 & 2- Commander Keen
>>109014154old dos games badNES games goodbullshit mentality
>>109021993Adding:- X-Wing & Tie Fighter - GOG- Bioforge - GOG- Another World - GOGIf you honestly just want to play the best DOS era games, there's very little reason to use DosBox.
>>109022513>- Another World - GOGYou can play it on console. Arino did it. Same with Flashback and to some extend Lemmings.
>>109022052>NES games goodNo, NES games are equally bad
>>109014065Girls weren't playing PC games in the DOS era. If a girl is playing any retro games it's going to be a console game be at the games are far more recognizable and iconic.
>>109014065because their boyfriend are only capable of encouraging them to grit, not learn how to work machines.
>>109014065I'm not a lol, but i can do that for you if you want, i can be whatever you want except a female or gay, or anything that goes against my convictions....you want me to be a retrod pc gamer unc, i can be that for you Anon
>>109014065>emulatorsand miss out on the zatsus about tracking down the newest old pc/console they bought and going over their plan on the replacement/repairs they need to get it in working order?
>>109014065see it all the time in vrt
>>109014232Vtubers use the NES emulator on Nintendo online all the time
>>109014065As someone who actually used DOS, I understand completely why nobody wants to use DOS. And if you were there, you'd know that Win3.1 is nothing but bloat. Windows didn't start being a "platform" as far as games were concerned until Windows 95.
