At 3:36 the music name is 'Jo Cohen & $ex Whales - We are' but due to glitches with Resolve it rendered as 'Jo Cohen - $ex Whales'. Sorry guys for the inconvenience.
Plot twist: DVR didn't want you to get demonetized.
Lol
Strange, it looks more like 16 colors in most places
Have you tried 16 colors? When the basic or display adapter driver gets corrupted, Windows will just go nuts by going to lowest color depth and will render slow.
I have tried 256 colors on my old laptop that I removed my Windows 10 partition for a decade ago and installed Windows 7 where it was back on August 2024. Once I changed to 256 colors which is supported by Intel graphics driver, the screen goes to center and not stretched.
This experiment was performed on a VM (using VMware), not on real hardware. The screen is stretched because I enabled the Free Stretch option.
@@XTech07-xyz And would you able to achieve 16 colors on real hardware instead of virtual machine. 16 colors is not available on my old machine when I installed the graphics driver, and I can only get is 256 colors which is crazy.
Yes I can xD
I have an old machine which can do that
This is reason why color is weird when playing age of empires ii in windows 7
the Vista bar in Explorer really fascinates me
thank you Chess Titans for your worthy effort to fix all of the color palettes.
not all, just the wallpaper's palettes.
@@XTech07-xyz it also got around 1 Aero element working (which broke later on)
Which one?
@@XTech07-xyz ????????
Which element?
I used to do this as a kid with that "Run in 256 Colors" option in compatibility settings.
Cool!
"guys why cant my pc run gta 5?"
their pc:
okay but if getting rid of gta 5 made win 7 come back i would do it
Never seen it before. How cunning!
>We are heroes plays
That’s when you know the video is good
Just wanna ask, is the poor thing ok now?
(Happy new year BTW)
That Windows 7 VM is okay (for now). Also same to you my friend :')
@XTech07-xyz oh thank god
5:19 nobody going to talk about how the wallpaper fixed itself?
Bro you didn’t even see the whole video. I talked about it how Chess Titans fixed the wallpaper at 5:07.
@@XTech07-xyzbut why did it fix.
Bcz of some random GDI effects which happened due to the low display settings which then caused the wallpaper cache to reload
Yeah lemme get uhhhhh Windows 7 extra crispy please
uh- What?
New Subscriber!
Thanks for subbing!
@XTech07-xyz No problem.
4K sinema
Yeah
Why did the context menu open like that at 2:52? It's almost like Windows 98!
I think it’s due to having such low colours that it doesn’t want to do a sort of splash animation for the content bar so it just drops down and resizes to its normal size
yeah
Can Windows 7 Playing Old Games if That Need 256 Colors Like Playing Windows 95, 98 and 2000 PC Games?
Yeah I guess
@@XTech07-xyz Sounds Good
Windows when Indian Technicians Fixed it with their speaking until the end and random Loud noises, and always speaks in English Horribly:
I'm Indian
@XTech07-xyz At least you don't play Free Fire And have a conversation until the end
Yeah
im watching this in 256 colors
"This copy of Windows is not genuine"
Yeah bcz I did it in the VM
looks like a visual trojan but the creator forgot to add more effects
when the acid kicks in:
cool
Thanks!
what font is that in your intro
The font is 'Pixel Miners'
ah yes windows in snes
i was about to say XDD
SNES tinha 15bits de cores. Muito mais que 256 cores do windows. SNES era mais próximo de 16bits de cores do windows.
noisy ice machine
Can you tell me how to do this in W10?
Unfortunately, this is not possible on Windows 10. In Windows 8, Microsoft removed the option to change your color bit to less than 32 bit.
average unregistered hypercam experince
We can prbly do this in PB95.
Woah an AMD Ryzen 5 5500U?
Yeah, I recorded this video on my old laptop which has R5 5500U.
Nice im gonna buy an R7 5700U I have i7 3770U rn @@XTech07-xyz
Bro thts my 2021 laptop processor
If you're buying a laptop, go for Intel processor. But if you're buying a PC, go for AMD Ryzen due to recent instability issues with Intel.
@XTech07-xyz Iris xe ıs ass
My eyes are cooked man
wait what happend to ur old channel?
Huh? I didn't have an old channel.
now do win256 in 7 colors
Is 27 december 00:00 and the video is still going :D
yeah
Now in my timezone is 00:00 o'clock
Ignoring the fact that watching videos on it is horrible, if youre looking for a retro feel of the 90s user interface then i think this is pretty close to that and looks cool to me. Will try it out. Thanks for sharing!
Song name?
It's in the desc. The songs are 'Janji - Heroes Tonight' and 'Jo Cohen & $ex Whales - We are'
How much ram do you have?
On my main PC, I have 32GB RAM but on my both laptops I have 16GB RAM.

It's a VM.
How???
Now make Windows 11 in 256 colors
Good idea! 👍
The wallpaper's colors changed between 3:20 and 3:50
Yeah, thats bcz of the GDI effects Paint did.
and that's why you should play chess 4:53 - 4:58
True! I'm really bad at Chess tho xD
Have you tried whatvhing a youtube video?
I tried watching the sample video, and it was really funny xD. Watch the video on here to find out!
Nah my PC-98 is 16 colors only
My eyes!!!! 😨
Don't worry, they will be fine soon. :)
So creepy
128, 64, 32, 16, or even 8, 4, hell even 2 when
Only 2 and 16 are possible. (With the built in settings, but a new vid is coming soon!)
Hey you? One color = 1 bit?
What? 1 color isn't equals to 1 bit.
Bitdows 97
now try running it in 8 colors
nice vid idea!
256 colors completely ruin the palette of the default wallpaper lmao
yes it does xD
Please mastercheat
???
eww it looks so weirdddd!!!!
Yes it does lol xD
Bro you copying technologytime or Nobel tech or enderman !!!
none its a video idea 💀
Ooh really? Nobel Tech didn't explain anything in his vid. Endermanch doesn't even have a vid with the same topic. Technologytime has a completely different vid. He has done it in normal resolution but I have done it in 640x480.
Having the same video idea doesn't mean copying others content.
Oh sorry, but you use the same music use by enderman and technologytime
No probs! The music is from NCS from where anyone can use songs without any copyright.
