Using OpenMPT on historic systems

[manx]

Running OpenMPT on historic systems

These tables might be useful if you want to use OpenMPT on old systems.

If you found a bug in the current version (marked green or orange), or have other issues that prevent you from upgrading, please don't just go back to using an old version.
Instead, please report the bug so that we can actually fix it.

Any version of OpenMPT that is marked red or purple is not supported any more by the OpenMPT team. We will not fix any bugs in unsupported OpenMPT versions.

Any version of Windows that is marked red or purple is not supported any more by Microsoft, and should not be used with any connection to an untrusted network, especially not the internet.

The information presented here is based on historic documentation and in some cases on guesses only. It in particular has not been verified on actual systems.
