Finally, I’ve managed to finish my retro DOS/Windows 98 build machine based on powerul Athlon. By finish i mean assemble parts on the table without any case. Why no case? Answer is simple: i’m lazy. And it is more convenient to me to keep it as open testbed for weirdo experiments of my own. Collecting items took almost four months to accomplish this project. Puter consists of multitude parts, which were acquired around the globe.

[Chip & Dale] is a nice Disney cartoon for the most young viewers. …and maybe even for older ones, who are tired of modern cartoon abominations. ORIGINAL INTRO METAL COVER BY DARKMAN007 spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

A small note on how to make things rollin'. Default configuration of Keenetic Ultra makes XZ1 Compact to stuck in a loop during authorization process. If you can’t pair your XZ1 to 5Ghz WiFi network just switch router network to channel: 56 And you are good to go. Yeah, simple as that. See you around! spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2022-03-06 Corel Draw 2022 confirmed to work on Windows 7, but w/o GPU acceleration. 2020 version also don’t provide GPU extensions, but you can ignore this if you have fast 8-16 multicore CPU. Just run into difficulties during Corel Painter 2020 installation process. Right after the first screen i can’t press [Next »] button. Problem was solved by dropping down security level in Internet Explorer 11 [!]

Previous owner of my main laptop installed the most modern intel WiFi chip, [AX200] to be precise. Unfortunately, chip does not have drivers for beloved Windows 7. Yeah intel dropped support in 2019. So, i have to downgrade wireless card. Found on eBay compatible [Dell WiFi 1820] : the last one to support Windows 7 operating system. I always loved Dell’s Precision series for super easy installation of hardware upgrades.

In [one of the first posts] I’ve promised to do a quick overview of this awesome laptop. So here it is! FRONT VIEW I/O SYSTEM KEYBOARD UPCLOSE SIDE PORTS CLOSED LID COMPAQ LOGO I like the overall aesthetics and design of the casing. Computer easily handles any DOS software. Keyboard is nice too, like tactile feel of it. My copy has a wobbly keyboard on the left side, but this due to it’s age of course.

UPDATED ON: 2023-11-23 ¶ ESSENTIAL INTRODUCTION Finally I get up all one’s courage to compile and publish essential stuff regarding Windows 7 optimization. Note that full version of the guide will be released somewhere around early 2023. Check the warm place to stay on the edge. And now….Let’s dive into the tweaking process! All console commands should be executed from command line with with administrative privileges. Most of mentioned tweaks could be done via control panel, to enter it in a fast way just type in command line or execute Start Run:

I can’t even describe my feelings regarding the topic. Just look what Ghacks.net threw at our faces! THIS IS [RIDICULOUS] ! Who needs another dump number 12? If 10 & 11 are already pretty deep garbage. spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

UPDATED ON: 2023-12-02 You may already noticed [list of system tweakers] in Windows 7 header section. Just wanted to describe process a bit with the help of plain words and some png pictures for crispy clearness and buttery smooth understanding of the process.

It will be prohibited not to mention about Streets of Rage II ► favourite beat’em’up of my childhood. First three parts are classical arcade machine stuff, they pretty similar to each other. Last one is a fan-made project with new graphics and design. STREETS OF RAGE II STREETS OF RAGE IV EVOLUTION OF STREETS OF RAGE 1991-2021 spacedrone808 @Adobe spacedrone808 @Freepik

CURRENTLY TEST IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR MOBILE VIEW! IMAGE WIDTH >1600px IS RECOMMENDED! ▒ DIRECT COMPARISON In the very beginning of the test I underline the fact that we are comparing only resolution and not the dynamic range. In this category older FSI sensor is an outsider, for sure. Today’s rival is [Samsung S22 Ultra] with 1/1.33" sensor. A lil’ smaller than mighty Nokia 808, which comes with 1/1.2". Now let’s see how Nokia will hold up in such situation.
