If you play or have at least installed Titanic on an old computer, say 2000-2014, share your setup! And perhaps some commentary about it if it's jank o_O

I'll start:


ThinkPad T440p (2013) running Windows 7


The screen is tinted green, so my iPhone 8's camera made this image very orange. I still love this setup.
Set this up about a year ago, when I was apparently obsessed with Kantoku's art. I still use it! I played Minecraft Alpha on this when I had COVID last month.

This unfortunately has no Wi-Fi chip in it, so nowadays (not in this old photo) I just use a USB Wi-Fi adapter. Otherwise, it runs pretty damn great! More than playable, especially on RetroGecko.. which, surprisingly, runs fine. Despite Windows 7 being dropped in .NET7+, it still works great with .NET 9. Haven't tested on .NET 10, though, but don't see any reason for it to break.

This computer has an unfathomable aura when sitting on a flat surface like this that I just can't get over.



MacBook Pro (2009) running Windows XP


I set this up today! Though it took absolutely forever, with great effort mind you.

This thing was originally running Mac OS Lion. I wanted to dualboot and install over USB, but after much fighting with both, I ended up finding an old weird variant of an XP installation CD my dad lying had from old IT shenanigans. Still wouldn't let me dualboot since the disk was GPT, so I just decided to wipe Mac OS X.

From there, it was just a matter of installing Bootcamp drivers and osu!digitalclient, and sourcing some old Wacom drivers for my CTH-480. It runs fairly abysmally but it's good enough for some simple gameplay.

My Windows XP laptop died unfortunately, so I can only show you this image:



It's a ThinkPad W500 which was known for having GPU failures after some amount of usage. I always hoped it was a myth, but here we are now.

My Windows 7 laptop is now the only one left standing

here's the shitty xp laptop i use at school

it's an asus eeepc, it was fun to use until the battery died in my arms at school while playing daidai genome

nowadays, im hoping to use this as a way for me to look at users' maps while i'm away from home. i've yet to find a client though that works well enough for editing maps.

Broken image BOI

Also, RIP GPU. Does it not have integrated graphics you can switch to?

Looking at that thing I'm split between confused at how that thing can consume power and how it has a room for the battery in the first place. Sometimes I forget netbooks exist lololol
