Recently picket up this old Thinkpad T30 for 2 bucks at a local flea market. Its a bit scratched up and the battery is more or less dead but everything else is working fine. Its Pentium 4M, 1gb of ram and 40gb hdd might be a bit overkill for win2k but its really amazing. Running Firefox 13 and a webone proxy to deal with ssl issues.
Some more photos:
Im a Zoomer myself and I love those old win95-2k aesthetics! You cant tell me that this doesn’t look amazing
Ok your desktop goes fucking hard, im just very particular about my browsing experience
I obviously dont use a 24 years old OS as my daily driver. I just love to play around with a OS thats older than me
Yo is the a gamecube emulator???
Nope. Only have n64 and snes atm. Dont think this laptop would run gc at a playable framerate.
Edit: In case you are talking about classicube: Thats a rewrite(afaik) of one of the alpha versions of Minecraft
Damn, i miss gamecube and was hoping youd tell me it was a good one so i didnt have to go looking myself
Dolphin is the main GC/Wii emulator. It works great on a modern-ish computer, but you can’t really run it on GC-era hardware.

oh yeah! dolphin is kinda next level! it’s probably one of the most impressive emulators ever made
i remember when they created ubershaders to address the last of the stuttering you’d get with some games and the collective internet just kinda lost its mind

(on an unrelated note, oh! delete and redraft from mastodon leaves behind messy deleted post messages on lemmy, huh? oops)

Classicube is pretty sick
IrfanView, now that’s the good stuff
Nice! If you aren’t already, you should use the win2k kernelex.
How does one install that? My japanese isnt the best
It’s the Lilac color scheme that really makes it - we had that on my family’s first PC and classic Win UIs don’t look quite right to me without it.
This doesn’t look amazing
everyone has a different taste I guess
