Frequently Asked Questions regarding this website

This page will answer all of your thoughts

Frequently Asked Questions, starting from:

1. Old website still have many of pictures. Why you did not put a bunch of it in this website if it was "retro"?

- You are right, but here I am trying to maximize the compatibility. This is why I put only one picture that is a logo for this website. Beside that, I just make sure that the computer are able this logo by choosing GIF format. For computer that is not able to do so, I just coded it to display "[RetroFlaze]".

2. How did you tried and confidently said it work in Windows 3.1?

- I tested it in Oracle VM VirtualBox. I don't tested it physically but in VirtualBox, it just behaves the same. You got the point. If the website is failed to load in Windows 3.1 for example, then the actual computer with Microsoft Windows 3.1 would show the same result. Maybe if I manages to get one, I am proudly want to test it. Hence, it even worked in my JAVA phone, so there is highly chance it would work in actual computer. Not only that, this website also tested under the lowest specification ever like monochrome display (black and white only) and 320x240 resolution.

3. Where did you go? In 2023, there is no progress at all.

- I was gone in 2023. In that year, I am 17 years old and for those who are 17 years old, they are in Form 5. In Malaysia, if you are Form 5, you must take the most important exam in the country. It was called SPM, which is stand for "Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia" (Malaysian's Certificate of Education). It so important because if you failed the exam, it's either you took it the next year or you can't further the study and work in the most sector. So that's how important the exam is. Only activities for this website stopped at that time, but I am still visiting it and use it as my internet page tester.

4. Is it hard to make this website?

- It's not that hard and not that easy, but I would say it was easy to code. But I don't have idea on what I want to write about. So this is the reason why it's not the easy one but not also the hard one. Once you know how to do the HTML, you can do pretty much. Only the idea would restrict you from make a new pages.

5. Can you state me the reason why you want to make this website?

- Just to preserve the website. I mean the older computer may don't go offline because of there is no website to visit, but rather than THERE is no website that is compatible with it. So by this website, at least you can visit this website from older computer that is maybe comes from 1992! Just make sure the computer are able to connect to the internet and you are good to go.

6. What is the most thing that irritated you the most?

- For this website, the most thing that irritated me the most is about the logo. I mean when I put the picture, it won't display in older internet browsers like Lynx. But when I put the ASCII art, its completely text-based but new problem arise, as NCSA Mosaic diplay gibberish rather than art. So to solve the problem, I make out the logo once again. This time for any text-based internet browsers, I coded it to make sure the text appear to replace the picture. For logo, GIF format was used because it was the oldest format that can be supported, which is back in 1987!

7. If the website was dedicated for computer, will it work on my phone?

- Yes, it will. For phone, make sure your phone enabled the desktop site, auto-rotate and make it in landscape mode. JAVA phone also works but make sure it not the WAP or GRPS browsers, then you good to go.
