Jody Thornton Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Just a curiosity. Does 7-Zip have compatible versions, or is that just unicode/NT? And are those AVG versions still able to be updated? Edited March 9, 2014 by JodyThornton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZortMcGort11 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) 7-zip 9.20 works awesomly, forgot to add that to my list. Thanks :-)Never tried newer beta/alpha versions however.Not sure about the AVG definitions... very highly doubt it though, because AVG 7.5.524 was released early 2008.

Jody Thornton Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 I use v9.20 on XP and Vista. It works with RAR format too, so now I don't even install WinRAR.Wow, so it works on 9x/Me too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jody Thornton Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 So how compatible with the modern web (HTML5, etc...) is Opera 9x and 10x? (I liked v10.10). Is it good enough to get around in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZortMcGort11 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Well, that's a hard question. It depends. You can get around pretty good, especially by turning off javascript (most people don't want to do that though). But really, the only way to know is to try it and see how much you like it. Or I should say, how much functionality are you willing to lose?Turn off javacript and all those pop-up windows, ads, and other junk disappear. But then so do some other things :-/Functionality wise, Opera 10.63 is your best option for plain Windows 9x.

Jody Thornton Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Actually I tried installing v10.10 on my work PC (XP sp3). A few things don't work, but Facebook does. Google and Duck Duck Go search has some misalligned graphics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flasche Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 You forgot opera 12.02. With kernel ex for the installer it works like a charm.

Google and Duck Duck Go search has some misalligned graphics.That's a recent thing they did with Google. A week ago there was no issue. Opera versions 11-12.02 will work on 9x/Me with no issue. The only thing I fear now is that presto engine is dead . That was the fastest and most old hardware supporting engine there was. I really hope it becomes open source so the free web (and 9x) can live on. Edited March 9, 2014 by Flasche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZortMcGort11 Posted March 9, 2014 Author Share Posted March 9, 2014 You forgot opera 12.02. With kernel ex for the installer it works like a charm. I know :-) This is going to be a non KernelEx list. Just because it's simpler that way. And besides, there's already another thread / list of "KernelEx Compatible Programs." This is just my attempt to do a final, comprehensive overview of the state of Win9x programs. Which includes some older and newer programs, and when necessary lists the final version of certain programs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bphlpt Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I use v9.20 on XP and Vista. It works with RAR format too, so now I don't even install WinRAR.Be aware that 7-Zip does not currently support the new WinRAR5 format, yet. So you still might need WinRAR if you receive any archives that were compressed in the WinRAR5 format.Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Be aware that 7-Zip does not currently support the new WinRAR5 format, yet. So you still might need WinRAR if you receive any archives that were compressed in the WinRAR5 format.To be fair, if someone sends me a file compressed in the new WinRar 5 format, it plainly means that the contents of the archive are not interesting/irrelevant.Using a proprietary format, that only a given Commercial software can open/access properly, when interchanging data is clearly something that only a complete moron would do.Also the WinRK rolz is not supported AFAIK.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
