Yeah I was expecting to have to fiddle with Morrowind, but it worked out the box, and even cloud saves worked.

    Are you just playing Morrowind as it was, or are you using OpenMW?

    Just as it was. I was trying to play it in an xp vm but virtual box dropped 3d acceleration support for xp a while ago. So I’m stuck with games like the sims, sim city 3000 on my. 2002 larp machine

    but my endeavorOS is xp themed too

    I’m kinda into doing things the old way. The old internet, mp3 player, etc

    Yeah I love what I call my 2002 LARP VM. lol what has been amazing, is the ability to find old installers of old versions of programs and the original isos of games on Internet archive and other places. It’s such a resource.

    Oh yeah, all the software on the xp vm is period correct releases. No versions past 2002. Including Winamp. Just the browser is a current and safe alternative web browser
