Crap Os X2 (2008)

This was a project I was working on years and years ago, and I had this in my file dump uploaded back in 2010. I believe the last time I worked on it was 2008. I regret that I never finished and shared this before Flash got phased out. A lot is unfinished, but there is still a lot to do.


If anyone has been able to open old flash CS3 projects in Adobe Animate like this, I'm very interested in re-visiting this whole thing.


There's a lot that I have done, but a lot that I never got around to finishing. There's also a window switching bug I could never hunt down and got super frustrated with.


I was beta testing Windows Vista when I started working on this, so this is basically a mix-up mock of Windows and Mac. And no, nothing you do in this game will hard your actually computer.


Tips:

  • Clicking on the "BIOS" startup screen when the game starts skips the whole startup sequence and jumps directly to the desktop.
  • Open up Notepad more than once. Let Cocaine Clippy do his thing. And yes, that sound effect is directly lifted from Tom Fulp's Teletubbies flash animations.
  • Opening the memory stick from the Computer/X2 Browser section opens a new window. This is where you may encounter the window switching glitch. But there's also some fun stuff on the "memory stick" that you may have open behind Computer/X2 Browser (open the funnyjoke.pif file, but you may have to refresh the page...)
  • Display can change the colors scheme of the windows. Not all work fabulously (I did some testing but not thoroughly enough, evidently)
  • You can burn CDs! Speeds are SUPER fast! You may get audio feedback when "burning"...
  • Try taking a backup! It will run you through a very important wizard.
  • Open DivX player for a sexxxxxy video.
  • We're running a very special disk controller inside this emulator according to the Performance section


Edit 3:48PM MST 3/16/2023: I have disabled Ruffle compatibility. I think this is what may be causing some of the display issues.


Edit 5:46PM MST 3/16/2023: Ruffle was definitely the cause of all the weird display issues. The Newgrounds Player is going to be best for this. A lot of interface effects I did in Flash 8 are also missing in Ruffle.

It's nostalgic and is also pretty funny!

It's really chicken!

The paper clip was funny. None of the display changes do anything kind of a bummer if its going to be there. Sexy fox got my hopes up lol.

MrCongeniality responds:

It could be Ruffle because I marked it as compatible with Ruffle. It might not be, I'll double check after work tonight. I really would love to do more work on this!

Edit: I have disabled Ruffle emulation for now.
