Found a port of a game I like and wanted to check it out but it's Windows 98 and I know Windows 10 has shitty compatibility options that never work. Really don't want to go about setting up a virtual machine if I can get away with it.

Here's the pcgamingwiki article on it. It's got a translation patch so I'm wondering if that updates compatibility with win 10. I'll have to try this out tomorrow.

what-the-hell Oh shit a fucking 95/98 game.

Wife says it runs fine, but she prefers the Playstation version lol. It's also on Super Famicom. Should work okay.

Oh damn your wife is a wizardry head? That's cool! Yeah I figure I'd just play the PSX version if this failed but I wanted some midi music goodness.

Oh shit nice, if you're not using Coolsoft Midi for that ya should be big-cool She's into it tho yaw.

Coolsoft Midi

This is sick, I was thinking about playing the OG releases of Final Fantasy VII and VIII for PC with the midi tracks and I will use this. Tell your wife she's cool, Wizardry really doesn't have fans in the west anymore, it's all JP otaku into it still.

Will do rat-salute-2

Yeah the rights kerfuffle is alarming, they've really bungled the Wizardy series in the anglosphere, like now and then you'd get a Tales of the Forsaken Land come out and get some goodwill, but then they wouldn't promote it or follow up. Sad tbh, big guy series.
