ok here we go, i did a little writeup of how i got it all to work in windows 10 - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1n3tpKU01fne4fuQFvRAxLL7mS6FNZhOyfU0Qed4sYBU/edit?usp=sharing (the forum i found deleted this, so, to gdocs!)
using the other little utility to just change the date instead of the full petza utility (that allows you to just change values with sliders, which is... idk, kinda boring to me) is something that i remain all too fuckin pleased with myself for LMAO
#petztalk #gameing is this old enough for #retrogaming ? i mean probably not but why not
@InspectorCaracal but then if i turn off my internet connection i'd have to stop browsing mastodon and shit which is clearly A FATE WORSE THAN DEATH v:
the installer seems like it's a really nice and solid upload! it'll be a shame i can't link it to people on the petz forums, but it's a hell of a lot nicer than trying to piece together an .iso out of 22 .rar files
@wigglytuffitout hah yes. x.x
I got a petz 4 install from @maple afterwards which is what I'm actually using because I am an Old Man and I think the newfangled petz 5 toy mechanics are Terrible. xD
@InspectorCaracal honestly - legit lmao, i had forgotten how you have to play the minigames to get more toyz
fortunately the bug squashing one is dead easy LOL
@wigglytuffitout The thing that bothers me is having to have all your toys in that tiny carrying case which makes it such a pain to FIND anything if nothing else
@wigglytuffitout I do wanna just add as a point of... record, I guess? that I grabbed the installer from the same place you did and had absolutely no trouble installing it and just running it in Windows 10 with no special settings or tweaking at all and it worked perfectly.
Also for the date thing, if you just turn off your internet connection it'd probably fix those errors. 😉
