Windows 10

Has anyone got an error saying they must un-install Gamebase 1.3 before they can install Windows 10? Not compatible then?

If you get the error after installing Win10.
...unable to install gamebase.
or you can not install it with an admin/compatibility mode from a right click.
Then i guess so. :(

If you really need to install Win10, for whatever reason?.
It should be able to run a virtual box with XP, win7, win8, win81.
Which is good for all your emulator and gamebase needs.

I found that "whdrun" (Gamebase Amiga) has problem with running on '10. Tested on friend's PC, so investigation was not so deep yet. But the problem not exists on Win'8.1 x64.
I love Gamebase's creators and compilations

It seems to be ok after Windows 10 has installed. You just re-install it and everything runs fine as long as you run it under 'Administrator'.

Just a word of warning for those who are tempted to the FREE Win10 upgrade from MS.

i wish i hadn't bothered...

i decided to roll back to Win8 within the first month of the install, due to the constant flow of traffic to MS.
Then to my horror i noticed the Lenovo BIOS shows the Product ID as INVALID.
Only a Lenovo technician can correct the error.
Lenovo say the error is due to a hardware change and warranty is void, and want paying to correct it.
So M$ must use some insane code.

Make that +2. :D
I just wish there was a native Linux port of GB so I wouldn't have to use jGameBase. :(

Worth a read if you have 7, 8 or 8.1:

I have recently taken up the window 10 free giveaway and have no issues with it. My system is working fine and I haven't had any issues with Gamebase either.

Must be one of the lucky ones (for a change).
