All (most?) of your games will run on your future computers.
You can play DOS games just fine right now, so yes it's a good bet. And a far better bet than the PS6 being backwards compatible.
The crazy thing for me is that I have a little handheld specific for dos games. The problem I run into every time is having to setup computer keyboard bindings for each game to play them using the built-in controller. I really want retroarch or another dos emulator to do profiles for different games and I haven't seen that yet.
Unless they change CPU architectures.
And even then it's no guarantee. Plenty of games needed support from the likes of GoG to run. Hell, I couldn't even play Ex Machina because I had a HDR monitor and the game detected that and completely broke. Disabling HDR in Windows did nothing.
well. there's already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.
A CPU architecture change wouldn't be a deathblow.
Ex Machina the movie or the 1984 "game"? That's before Mario was even a thing.
Fucking auto correct...
It was Nex Machina.
That's a 2017 game
Yes, I know. And I already can't play it due to changes in hardware.
That doesn't make any sense. I can play multiple games from 2017 with no problem at all. I play games from 2012 and up just fine too. That's something the devs messed up for that specific game, or it's a problem with your PC.
I have a hard time believing HDR wasn't around in 2017 in some capacity. This sounds like a big that existed on launch, yeah?
My TV from 2017 was HDR, so it was. But HDR monitors would have been pretty rare, so the bug probably wouldn't have shown up in any great numbers.
I don't even run Windows in HDR mode (because it looks awful), but it picks it up anyway and completely fucks the graphics up.
I don't know about HDR, but there was a ton of great games released in 2017.
Maybe don't try to use HDR if your PC/monitor/TV can't do it?
