Windows 7 is seriously heavyweight, actually, especially in terms of disk space. Newer versions are slightly more nimble, but still not really light on storage or RAM...
Windows 10 IoT is an unusably limited joke, based on both hearsay on the Internet and real-world experience from a colleague I trust, and who has significant experience of both Windows and Linux, on a RPi 2.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Do you mean limited in what you can run on it, Nspire style, or limited as in lack of features/options?

[Lionel Debroux]

Lack of features: various APIs which can be taken for granted on Windows don't exist on Win 10 IoT (kinda like the former Windows CE now renamed to "Embedded Edition" or something like that), the UI is either very basic or nonexistent, etc.
Switching from Linux to Windows 10 IoT on a RPi 2 is a huge feature regression. My colleague was curious about what this platform could offer, but he's probably not about to test this PoS again any time soon, let alone switch the box to it ^^
His domotics software works very well from the usage bliss and low weight of Linux.

Dang. I hope I can stick to seven for a while then. Besides, I heard that 8.1 can't even run Brood War anyway. Anyway, I'm going back on topic

[Dudeman313]

I was going to say that Microsoft has apparently already dropped Windows 7 Media Support, but then I noticed your last sentence there.

To get back on topic, I got the latest nightly build and tried it.
What might be wrong with my laptop if I keep getting this?

It's the same issue as before; the keypad still isn't finished yet. That will clear up the bug entirely Your computer may just not support OpenGL 2.0, which is solvable by following the answer detailed here: http://superuser.com/questions/458629/updating-opengl-to-2-0

Is your graphic card from 1992?

I couldn't figure out which vendor I'm supposed to go to for a new driver. Intel's tool told me no drivers were available for my device, and I'm not sure what to do now.

OpenGL driver version check (Current: 1.1.0, Latest known: 1.1.0):
Latest version of display drivers found
According the database, you are running the latest display drivers for your video card.

No ICD registry entry
The current OpenGL driver doesn't expose the SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows (NT)/CurrentVersion/OpenGLDrivers registry entry. Unable to detect the driver version, driver revision name and filename.

No multitexturing support
This may cause performance loss in some applications.

No secondary color support
Some applications may not render polygon highlights correctly.

No S3TC compression support
This may cause performance loss in some applications.

No texture edge clamp support
This feature adds clamping control to edge texel filtering. Some programs may not render textures correctly (black line on borders.)

No vertex program support
This feature enables vertex programming (equivalent to DX8 Vertex Shader.) Some current or future OpenGL programs may require this feature.

No fragment program support
This feature enables per pixel programming (equivalent to DX9 Pixel Shader.) Some current or future OpenGL programs may require this feature.

No OpenGL Shading Language support
This may break compatibility for applications using per pixel shading.

No Frame buffer object support
This may break compatibility for applications using render to texture functions.

Few texture units found
This may slow down some applications using fragment programs or extensive texture mapping.

Extension verification:
GL_EXT_color_subtable was not found, but has the entry point glColorSubTableEXT

Maybe...

@MateoConLechuga @Adriweb
I cant seem to run this. Once i select my ROM file from my PC and click finish, it crashes

I am using the 3-18 build found here http://pimathbrainiac.me/CEmu/

@c4ooo , could you post your system specs?

Also on the topic of CEmu, do you guys plan to continue supporting Windows 7 in long terms? I know Windows 7 is old and will be discontinued in 3 years, but several people still use it.

I don't see any reason not to support it, in fact I'm pretty sure we'd have to do something very special to actively break the compatibility

I think in my builds (and likely pimath's as well), XP should also still be supported as well. Yay for 15 year OS backward compatibility!

Regarding console output: There's a new feature that lets you hide this debug console! My latest build should have this feature built in. If you prefer pimath's builds, they should have this new feature by sometime tonight!

@Dudeman313: Try this build and see if it works!

EDIT: Just checked - the latest build online does NOT work, because there was a bug that broke XP support. However, the ZIP linked above for Dudeman313 should work, since it's built with the released (stable) version of Qt 5.6.0! Screenshots for fun:

Oh sorry about that. At first I asked you as well because I missed your post above. When I saw your post I edited mine to remove your name.
