Word of advice: do not install The Sims 2 unless you are prepared to reinstall Windows 98

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

@RichardEstes5 yeah, but thats not fun!

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

@fakenomnot ...the tweet literally says we're working on getting sims 2 working

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

While we work on getting Sims 2 working, did you know you can play The Sims 1 (and all 7 of its expansion packs!) on Windows 98 Natively?

@GamerBoy694_20 Probably? i dont know, i didn't design this game

@indigoparadox No idea that software that software existed, interesting!

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

@Fur_Sora no, the os is fine, the game bricked itself and i cant uninstall it

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

@Meowawii I was planning on showing off sims 2 for a post, but one of the expansion collections i own would not launch. and the officially uninstallers wont work. Straight up deleting the files didnt fix it so i basically have no options left

@oerg866 well, thats a bit of a disappointment, but thanks for doing it anyway!

Using KernelEX, you can (mostly) run Blender 2.57 on Windows 98. The ui is pretty broken though. But hey, you get a free cube!

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

@Kiki79250CoC I mean yea obviously, plus zsnes has huge emulation inaccuracies so better emulators should be used instead

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

To absolutely nobody's surprise, you can run ZSnes 1.51 on Windows 98 without KernelEX. Its good enough if you just wanna play some snes games

@Karlozz156 Cygwin for 98 is kinda buggy and frustrating to get anything to work with really so

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

Cygwin isnt linux enough for you? Not a problem! You can run Debian Woody using Virtual PC 4.1

Debian 11 was originally planned to be used, but it kernel paniced instantly, so a much older version was used instead. (kernel panic is pic #4)

[But can you do it on Windows 98? @doitonwin98]

You can run the newest version of the BGB GB/GBC emulator (v1.5.9 as of writing) on Windows 98 without the aid of KernelEX.

@StrobaCat yes
