Calm down Doofensmirtz, you forgot to add 2000 at the end of your project name.
On a serious note, with keyboard and mouse support, this will be a great way to play those old windows LAN games on a tablet. Hope this supports networking.
That's an odd thing to say about the platform with the longest running binary backwards compatibility by far. Software from upwards of 25 years ago still works for the most part, the ABIs are so stable that the easiest way to ship games on Linux that won't break every 6 months is to... use the Windows ABIs as a stable abstraction.
Old games have trouble running on Windows, not sure if the fault is with Windows changes, driver architecture changes, directx changes, games might have been broken but working by accident. As an example you can google the game "The Sims 2" and keywords related with windows10 windows 11. But for sure simple applications and simple games should work still on win11 or wine in linux.
Didn't they remove (or plan to remove soon) Win32 compatibility? Asking because as much as I find Windows a terrible platform from a user point of view, developing simple apps using older Delphi versions is actually a very refreshing experience, and they run perfectly under Linux+WINE, but I'm not sure how good they would run on modern Windows versions.
There have been no announced plans to remove win32 nor would I expect one. Too many apps still in use are win32. Win16 support was only discontinued after basically zero actively developed apps were still using it.
You might be thinking of the fact that current versions of Windows itself require x64 processors to run.
