Welcome to the website of 雯 aka Violet. Nyan~

This site supports HTTPS (TLS 1.3) and HTTP for older devices. The HTTP version intentionally doesn't redirect to HTTPS.

Consider this site "in construction" for the forseeable future, as I don't think I can update or add content to it in a timely manner at all.

Below are topics I plan to cover. Pages not written yet will naturally be 404s.

• Why retro?
• retcom: retro computers. Not that old though, as I'm only covering Windows PCs from Windows 3.1 onwards, with focus on XP and 7.
  • hw: hardware; info about the first/last/most powerful hardware capable of running each version of Windows, both with official and unofficial (modified) drivers.
  • sw: software; info about the last versions of software (that I use) that run on each Windows version.
  • os: info about the OS (Windows) itself, or stuff that affects the whole OS, like kernel extenders.
• retfon: retro fones; info about mobile phones from the 2000s to just before the iOS/Android era, and related topics.
  • nokia: Info about Nokia (NOT Lumia, NOT HMD) phones.
  • android: Info about Android phones with a physical keypad, useful for running J2ME and Symbian games.
