    I decided to go back in time and build a Windows XP rig. In this video I have tried to re-create my OS/desktop as I had in back in the early 2000's. I ran Firefox, AVG, Foobar, Steam (not appearing in this video), a ton of games, Total Commander, some Slysoft stuff, etc. Check out the video and let me know what I missed.

    TH-cam recommends tek syndicate 6 years later: "woah that dude's hair got long"

      @CyanaraOfficial 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I feel like TH-cam’s algorithm screwed him over, I’m subscribed and I thought this exact same thing but I see he has been making videos pretty regularly. He has a lot of videos I haven’t seen in all this time that I would’ve watched if I had seen them scrolling through, it’s like he disappeared out of my feed even though he’s been active as far as I looked back. Maybe I missed him taking a break?

    The memories though. Such a good time and such simpler times. Windows XP got me into tech, I loved customizing the desktop and sharing them on tech forums in the thread for screenshots haha. But I also remember the painfully reinstalling the OS like several times a year hahaha.

    Awesome video. I prefer to use Office 2003 for that authentic look. As far as CODECS go, I say don't use a CODEC pack unless you really need to. If you do, K-Lite is the way to go but I highly recommend that you don't use any codes packs. Sometimes K-Lite codecs don't work well with old games. When installing a game, if it needs a certain CODEC it should include and install it. If not, get the specific one it wants from one of those old software archives. Otherwise, VLC is the way to go for just watching videos. I highly recommend installing Notepad++. I think the latest still works for Windows XP. There is an old version that works for Windows 98. Notepad on 98 is awful. As far as Steam goes, yeah you're out of luck but some games can be directly copied from the Steam library folder to XP. I dual-boot for that reason.

    • @teksyndicate
      @teksyndicate  3 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Games are much, much easier to make now. Standards were high because much of the games media was comprised of actual gamers and not just some journalist. I'm no pro, but I'm very familiar with the tools, have read literally every book on the subject of game dev and they all go on about how much easier the tools are now. Basically, you're factually wrong on all points.
