https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace I don't have access to an XP machine or VM right now, but it was mentioned that minGW x86 may work on XP SP3, though not officially supported (For what it's worth, two forks of Famitracker, 0cc-famitracker and Dn-Famitracker, do work on both x86 and x64 XP). DefleMask Legacy (32bit) runs on both too

Oh, got ninja'd. I mean, I have little to contribute anyways. Only really the odd question or two. Partaking in community discussion/matters is something I shouldn't really do at this stage considering everything overall. Hey, I'm no communist. That ideology destroyed the Eastern Bloc and several other countries and turned them into censorship, monetary-deprived hell. Still interests me how so many people who unironically supporting communism/far-left socialism on social media are LGBT+ and yet communism has repeatedly repressed their people, every single time. The whole thing is a utopian philosophy, and Marx was a terrible person. (The only communist leader that was actually admirable was the Yugoslavian one really, but he's really just an exception of many other warped, disturbed people) I don't think I do want to truly return, solely for the fact that I don't want to compromising the feelings of other people who do contribute to this forum with really good projects and stuff, that really people should be extremely grateful towards here, by existing here (and I feel this about anywhere else that I was banned at and people knew things I did back in 2016-2019). I don't want to cause another split again somehow or tension within the community, it's really not fair, and I feel like if I stayed around, which is incredibly unlikely due to my past history overall, it would simply drive away a lot of the extended kernel and XP people from ever posting here again because of my history with them. That's really not something I'd like to be the reason for again after everything, not here, not anywhere.

I mean, I don't see any reason to lie about my identity if I'm asked on the spot about it or questioned about it. What's the point Nope. Sorry to disappoint. Interesting analysis of my writing style though, and it's not the first time I've been mistaken for a woman either... I can't say I feel insulted in any way, though. Rather, I'll take it as a compliment; that said, yeah, I guess really deep down I'm not one to invest in anything, I'm just a 'normie' or whatever, though I'm also too weird for the average normie who spends their time on TikTok (one type) or Reddit (the other type) so idk... Someone mentioned it. So did another user earlier on. I just felt like clarifying where the activity from that board actually went (win32's board), as I don't think it was really mentioned here. I don't even know what I want: Sometimes I act hostile towards others, even when they did nothing towards me... either I want a reaction (the 'attention-seeking' thing comes back into play here, as you said) and sometimes it's because they did something I didn't like at the time to someone I like and I feel a need to do something about it. Don't blame you at all. To say the least, Eclipse itself came from me noticing quite a few people being annoyed with the MSFN redesign not working in older browsers (one of the main goals really was to have it accessible on virtually anything, which has carried over to EclecBoard and I'm really thankful to the mods there for expanding on that) and me trying to capitalise on that annoyance and certain things sometimes being broken for ages like the registration form and stuff at the time if I remember right. I guess I used a bunch of hyperbole and whatnot to encourage people to support the idea of a fragmented board and then it happened. It just didn't really go to plan because of two specific people (me and K4sum1, mostly me, but also K4sum1's lack of interest in the community around it and his nonexistent contribution to moderation which led to a lot of arguing about how the board should be ran). Unfortunately, I'm a dude and suffer from hypersexuality issues among well a bunch of other crap that just makes me some kind of stereotypical NEET manbaby. (Then again, I don't use Twitter or talk about whoever's been cancelled in internet world this week for doing whatever stupid thing. If it doesn't affect me or someone I actually talk to I generally don't tend to care.)

Isn't the country flag something I'm supposed to set in my profile, rather than something that's auto-determined by an ip2c lookup? (Might be wrong.) Either way, you figured it out, it was kind of meant to be obvious I guess if you knew how I wrote decently enough, since it seems I have an extremely distinct way of typing and whatnot. It's no wonder I make virtually zero effort to hide; a VPN also would be pointless as well as that doesn't exactly solve the issue of 'I write in a certain way', pretty sure privacy isn't entirely conflated with anonymity even if the two overlap (this actually makes for an interesting point really though, a lot of 'normal' people really do think this!) ^_^ Just thought I'd pop by and explain why Eclipse is dead, that's all. I took it down by reporting it to the provider (simply explaining that the owner willingly refuses to comply with GDPR despite his server being hosted in a country with laws similar to it) because K4sum1 is too stubborn to figure out for himself that most of the community that actually posted content that was worth reading on Eclipse, moved over to EclecBoard after that split (that I mostly caused; to be completely honest though, I advocated for my own ban over there even if I propelled some stuff further than it needed to be. K4sum1 refused to ban me - seemingly being too obtuse to note how it would affect the board's future, hence why everything went to crap over there: I was willing to sacrifice myself for the future of the board, and one person got in the way who eventually banned me anyway in what seemed like a final 'f-you' move to the old userbase + afterward, he refused to purge people's posts from aforementioned board who explicitly requested as such which also kinda got to me quite a bit. I just felt bad for those few people who were still there / weren't aware much of the previous drama that could have been served by a better place. (Turns out he was also snooping people's PMs and deleting posts criticising him in any way, as well as banning people for things in PMs. Surprise surprise.) I've already severed ties with the rest of these circles otherwise (and pretty much anything else that overlaps with it). I don't contribute to them, I was always better away from it all. Sometimes I lurk around if I need something, but that's becoming much rarer nowadays, and I've made a personal rule to myself that I don't even try to partake in anywhere that could potentially overlap with anywhere I was previously - mostly to evade situations like the Eclipse one happening once again as well as more minor ones that happened afterward (mostly just me being weird on Discord, but nothing much more than that) I'd better be off either way, since I'm not only not supposed to be here, but it's for the best that nothing escalates any further. Besides, I hardly expect anyone to start interrogating me when I apparently never provide good enough answers unless it suits exactly the point of view I created whenever I was crashing down from an elevated mental state (it's either when I'm overly elevated to the point of totally lacking any giving-a-damn or when I'm so low I get desperate for something and it just spirals on worse and worse that bad stuff happens, though once again, I don't expect a single person to sympathise after everything I did, I just expect to be spat at, laughed at and told to bugger off lmao)

I finally found the other forum that was talked about where most of the XP/Vista people went, it's called EclecBoard and managed by the extended kernel guys (many of which were ex-Eclipse staff). Doesn't look all that active, though it's certainly more polished than Eclipse ever was. This place doesn't look too bad on a surface level at least, so not a bad thing, and it seems stable to the point where it can be relied on for referring back to, and that's whats most important I guess. I presume it's when you start involving far too much off-topic oriented discussion, and shoehorning personal things inappropriately that things start to go wrong. Sometimes, gatekeeping individuals due to their offsite activity can be a good thing. Everyone who actually posted anything of use there moved on, and the new representatives seemed to not care much from the few glances I had of it afterwards. Wonder if Compa did it as a favour to the community to counteract K4sum1's lack of will to let go of the dead horse, so as to move the few stragglers off that board and give up with it. Little surprise there in all honesty, he was known for being a socially-dumb borderline creep in some other parts of the Windows modding communities, also having links to old AcmlmBoard and Nintendo modding/SiivaGunner circles at some point prior to 2017, and had similarly created drama and destruction within them too. I saw his name plastered over the board as a lurker and went 'no thanks', knew some BS would happen, and it did. I've met and dealt with him long ago and on various other occasions. It seems like he permanently retained the Compa moniker for the time being; it's as though he quite literally doesn't give much of a damn about being spotted by old acquaintances, but I suppose that's good news for anyone attempting to safeguard one's friends, friend groups, whatever community servers so he's unable to access them, etc. - he's pretty much the Chris-Chan of these communities, and should be treated with utmost contempt.

Well, according to a post over there, it looks like an ex-admin of Eclipse (Compa?) was apparently responsible for taking it down. Hadn't visited there much since the split because of the dying activity after whatever the hell went on last year with the same guy, and never bothered to look around for any successors created by the original circle that actually posted on a regular basis, though I've heard of at least one place that exists. Kind of just got sick of the constant drama that seemed to circulate around these places leading to things like that... Seems like the main admin of that board just didn't really care enough/think it was worth bothering for the few stragglers that didn't particularly contribute back to the community after all to put the board back up or something, which in all retrospect, probably makes sense. Doing some further digging around it seems that unfortunately Compa still seems to pop by, terrorise random places from time to time with his own drama and stupidity, and act openly sexual around/towards other people many of which were minors at the time. It seems like he just never learns, and there's history of him doing these things since he was twelve years old. It's really, really a shame how one completely and utterly vile individual managed to dictate complete destruction and ruining of others' reputation to the point where simply being on the same forum/Discord server as him or being close friends with someone close to him could be considered boycott-worthy of that entire community until he is purged from the aforementioned surroundings. Wonder how many others have similar experiences, particularly those who had to deal with him more privately as well as outside Eclipse.cx...
