🔌 Plug and Pray™ Technology

Connect a new soul device to your terminal and Portals 98 will automatically detect, configure, and install the appropriate driver. In most cases.

• Automatic detection of MicroSoul Corp-certified devices
• Driver installation without manual intervention (usually)
• Support for soul bus v2.0 and higher
• Device conflict resolution wizard
• IRQ management for legacy soul hardware

Plug and Pray™ is a trademark of MicroSoul Corp. The name is not intended to reflect the reliability of the technology. Any resemblance to a prayer-based hardware detection system is coincidental.

⚡ True 32-bit Soul Architecture

Portals 98 introduces true 32-bit soul processing, allowing terminals to manage up to 4 souls simultaneously. This represents a 100% increase over Portals 95's 2-soul limit.

• Pre-emptive multitasking between active souls
• Protected soul memory spaces (souls cannot corrupt each other accidentally)
• 32-bit soul file system (supports soul files up to 4 GB)
• Improved soul swap management for systems with limited soul memory

🟢 Improved Green Screen of Decay

When a critical soul error occurs, Portals 98 now displays a detailed Green Screen of Decay with diagnostic information to help identify the cause of the failure.

• Error codes now display actual error descriptions instead of "SOMETHING BAD"
• Soul dump file generated automatically for post-mortem analysis
• Option to restart in Safe Soul Mode
• Crypty offers to "help" (effectiveness not guaranteed)

The Green Screen of Decay replaces the previous "Black Screen of Nothing" from Portals 95. If you experience a Black Screen of Nothing on Portals 98, your terminal may be off.

☠ Crypty — Your Digital Soul Companion

Crypty is deeply integrated into Portals 98, providing assistance, guidance, and occasional unsolicited commentary from your system tray.

• Companionship (non-optional)
