MODERATORS
I understand wanting to play an old game, but why would you want to jump through hoops to run it on old hardware?
It’s not like the CRT enthusiasts where the old stuff had advantages. What does support for a Voodoo5 get that you couldn’t get from an entry level modern GPU?
It's not my thing either, but I understand running old games on the original hardware. There's probably very little reason then to put a modern operating system between the two, let alone one which offers "near-native" (= worse) performance (and reduced compability in the first place).
