Running
KNP is a 16-bit Windows program, which means most contemporary operating systems will not run it without some setup.
There are some OS-specific tips below, but a good universal method is to setup a virtual machine. Basically, this's like running another computer from your regular OS, kinda like emulating a console game. If you install something like VirtualBox, you can install an old version of Windows (Windows 3.1, or XP ...) on that, and it will run very similarly to how it would have originally.
Linux
If you're a Linux user, you are probably familiar with Wine.
Mac
Windows
Ironically, it can be more of a pain to run old Windows stuff in new Windows than it is to run it in Linux.
Distribution
And because of the issues in running KNP, many people will not be able to play your games :(
Some solutions to this are:
- Archive.org can now emulate Windows 3.x things, but they can run pretty slow! More info. here: Distribution:Internet_Archive
- Newer Clickteam programs still load stuff made in older ones, so you can use those to re-export it for increased compatibility. This can introduce bugs due to difference in how some things are handled (which I need to make a page about)!
