# Fallout 4: Playing Classic Games Through the Pip-Boy<\/p>\n

**Introduction**<\/p>\n

The post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 4 offers players a vast open world to explore, filled with engaging quests, interesting characters, and myriad challenges. Among its many features, the game provides players with a unique way to enjoy nostalgia through little holotape games that can be collected and played during downtime. A recent mod has taken this concept one step further, allowing players to delve into the classics, *Fallout* and *Morrowind*, directly via the Pip-Boy and terminals in Fallout 4.<\/p>\n

## The Mod: Morrowind and Fallout in Fallout 4<\/p>\n

Modder RPGKing117 has ingeniously utilized the framework of Fallout 4 to enable gameplay of both the original *Fallout* and *The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind*. This mod adds an extra layer of enjoyment for players who wish to revisit these iconic titles while immersed in the environment of Fallout 4.<\/p>\n

### Features of the Mod<\/p>\n

Currently, the modder has made *Morrowind* accessible through a downloadable mod on GitHub, although it remains in quarantine on Nexus Mods due to the creation of custom DLL files. Although the original *Fallout* version is still under development, RPGKing117 has provided video demonstrations of both games being played using Fallout 4’s holotape system.<\/p>\n

### Technical Implementation<\/p>\n

RPGKing117 explained how the mod works: the *Morrowind* game is streamed directly to the Fallout 4 Pip-Boy screen via a specially modified version of OpenMW (version 0.50). The process involves the following steps:<\/p>\n

1. **Streaming Live Gameplay**: OpenMW runs in a hidden window with specific dimensions (876\u00d7700), which is then upscaled to 1024\u00d71024, allowing real-time streaming of the game’s framebuffer into the Pip-Boy display.<\/p>\n

2. **Custom Plugin**: A Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) plugin facilitates the holotape trigger and creates a shared-memory bridge for keyboard inputs. This enables seamless player interaction with *Morrowind* while continuing to engage in Fallout 4.<\/p>\n

## Requirements and Installation<\/p>\n

To experience this mod, players need the following:<\/p>\n

– A copy of *Fallout 4* and *Morrowind* from Steam.
\n– The Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE).
\n– A 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11.<\/p>\n

RPGKing117 has recommended that most OpenMW-compatible mods should function normally and has provided installation instructions on the mod’s page for users looking to set everything up.<\/p>\n

## Conclusion<\/p>\n

While it may not be practical for every player to engage in a full playthrough through this mod, it serves as an innovative proof-of-concept showcasing the potential of modding within the gaming community. As players continue to explore Fallout 4 and its myriad features, having the option to dive into classic titles like *Fallout* and *Morrowind* via the Pip-Boy adds a fascinating twist to the gaming experience. Whether taking a break from building settlements or simply enjoying the nostalgic journey, this mod offers a unique blend of the old and the new for gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
