Issue with Windows 10 Screen colors

[Walter Vaughan Jr]

Over the Christmas Holidays, I sort of got hooked on watching MiSTer videos on the dozens of hardware platforms that are clock accurate hardware reproductions.
This morning when I woke up, a video series that was suggested I watch was about a person who did a step by step tutorial on creating a virtual hardware machine to run Infocom Zork games.
I did not know but in order to support TRS/Apple/Commodore/IBM at the time they (Infocom) wrote a virtual machine to host the Zork applications. I've only watched about an hour of this, and have only gotten through the op codes, but it just dawned on me that the same thing could be done with filePro.

Someone with enough documented knowledge could write a hardware version of the filePro Virtual Machine, and write virtual cores that would support Profile/V3/4/4.5/4.8, all of which would be independent of any specific Operating System.

Scott,

It may be time to update.  While I know those old versions work great and have for over 20 years, you have to agree that filepro is not responsible to make those old versions compatible with the hardware and operating systems on the new computers.  Also, an investment in fptech so the filepro product is viable for the future is a fabulous idea. Your customer got his money's worth out of 4.8.
