Post by Wilhelm »

Hello retro lovers, if there are any :D

Also some new logos. Have fun!

Hi Wilhelm!
I have the 2 disks, among others, from CM9000. How to run the program on Win10 64b. ? Is there a solution? :?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Gregory,
CM9000 does not run very well in Win 10. I have a lot of grafical glitches so it is unusable. Compatibility mode doesn't help either. I run it in a virtual PC with Win98SE. This works perfect. If you have no virtual PC software you can try this Win95 https://win95.ajf.me/
Hope this helps.

best Wilhelm
