For when you need something to test video playback on your old windows 95/98/XP friend (files and instructions in description).

Not all art shows something beautiful - this really does feel like the internet of today without a lot of browser tweaking.

We've received word that we're migrating from the older version of Blackboard to the new, "student approved", Blackboard Ultra.

We'll be migrating our courses by hand over the summer; how bad is this going to be?

The original fansite for the EO series - it's a bit borked these days but you can still browse it.

A few years ago I stumbled onto this, and it provided a nice afternoon feature film. Figured the folks here would enjoy it!

Truly a test of patience - this is an excellent modpack that unifies 3 classics together into the way I dreamed of playing them as a kid.

Found it by accident a week ago, and it's been my short nightly unwind (trying to do a solo run because I always wanted to).

Thought I'd share this list as it contains many emus I've not heard of before and I'd love to hear people's reviews on any folks have tried.

So, in the past, I used to make a bit of money fixing up comps for folks.

With slightly trickier cases, I used to boot up puppy Linux to check the more essential hardwares (and if it booted, back up essential files for the customer). My students are now asking how to manage similar things.

Alas, puppy is no good for a modern system, as it really does not like UEFI boot. I was wondering if anyone can recommend an alternative.

I'm looking for a very lightweight gui os I that can run some hardware diagnostic tools, runs on a wide range of hardware, that is easy enough to set up on a pen for novice users.

So, kgen98 was one of the first genesis emulators, and it runs on dos.

I use it in one of my ICT classes (paired with a sonic 1 rom) on a floppy disk to demonstrate just how heavily compressed and optimised older games were.

It's an oddball that is definitely worth trying out.

A handy tool for developing vn style games for the Gameboy and Gameboy colour.

Great for people starting a game dev journey.

Mednafen is worth a go if you're looking for a lightweight set of emulators to run your dumped carts.

Thought I'd post this up here since I've not seen it mentioned. For those who want to explore the world of discworld, this is a great MUD.

Very friendly community when I hop on every few months, and with a lot of rich detail from the books.
