I had to do this for a company so they could continue to use their old specialised Win98 software on modern computers using Dosbox and an emulator.

One of the main differences with MeshCore is that client nodes don't repeat messages, only dedicated repeater nodes repeat with the idea that they should be placed in more ideal locations.

Just don't mention MeshCore anywhere around Meshtastic, or they'll kickban you.
