Notes

Bootleg quirks

• This bootleg comes with WineD3D and DirectX 9 drivers, both as a setup hotfix and dropped files to system32.
• Like Windows XP NeoMax 2016, it has an issue with ampersands in the System Properties, where "Powered by DMS&Tomecar" gets interpreted as "Powered by DMSTomecar".
• The Internet Explorer title is set to "[Insira o texto aqui]". The person who integrated these registry tweaks clearly forgot to configure that first.

CD contents and other info

• The autorun is removed.
• The CD label is set to "EXTREME_GAMING".
