There's only one appropiate advice: either turn your shop in a museum and start selling tickets to visitors, or upgrade to a supported version.
You should also try to understand what downwards compatible means: it means a *lower* version *client* can connect to a *higher* version *server*, and you are exactly doing the opposite. Oracle has never supported that! Also, do you know how many releases there have been your desupported 8.1.6 and your desupported 7.2.X? You don't expect to be capable to run a DVD on a laser disc player, do you?
