Windows 98

PP Mguire · Dec 29, 2009, 12:18 AM

I wanna make it run on my PC. In the specs.

Possible? (No VM, legit 98SE FTW)

newtekie1 · Dec 29, 2009, 12:19 AM

I doubt there are drivers available for the motherboard, or most of the other hardware for that matter...

um idk i remember something i think about the i7/i5 arc not playing nice with older OS's im not sure if it was impossible but i think if it was it was really tedious.

PP Mguire · Dec 29, 2009, 12:23 AM

Lame. Im getting pissy with Dosbox joystick support and older games dont play with x64 at all.

JC316 · Dec 29, 2009, 12:24 AM

No, there are no drivers for it. I solved this issue by getting an old laptop to be my DOS machine.

i wanted to use it (98 that is

) as i've still got some old games that are in perfect working order just that i never got round to playing them years ago

anyways pp i remember trying to put 98se on this pc (in the specs) and she just wouldn't have it just constant bsod ,and this old gal is like 6 years old

and it was before i changed my gpu,
still i'd also like to know how to other than using vmware and dos box (which reminds me of mame)

i hope not

eidairaman1 · Dec 29, 2009, 12:53 AM

Id only keep 98SE around for 16bit apps that will absolutely not run on XP.

Otherwise in some sense the PCI Express Video card will be interpreted as a AGP card, but there is no guarantee there will be drivers for it.

PP Mguire · Dec 29, 2009, 01:07 AM

Hmm ill see what i can do. I got my dad messing with it in XP and joystick support is only mildly better.

Anybody think 98SE will run on this?

4000+
DFI LP nF3 Ultra
HD3850 or 7800GS AGP

30gb HD

I think Nvidia dropped support for the boot procedure for FAT32 on the chipsets of NF3 and higher (or it may of been drivers for FAT32 based OS's)... I remember reading about that on some of the older mainboards newegg still had on sale..

PP Mguire · Dec 29, 2009, 01:20 AM

According to green teams driver download there is a shitty driver package for 9x OS only. Hmm i might give a go for that lol. I wish i still had my OLD Dos box. P1 Voodoo2 and 256 PC133

Anybody got a nice Pentium or K6 based machine laying around they wanna give for shipping?

Jstn7477 · Dec 29, 2009, 01:24 AM

Windows 98 will not be completely functional because:

Not designed for PCIe
Not designed for SATA
Last GPUs supported (drivers) are GeForce 6 and Radeon 9XXX
Only runs best with up to 512MB RAM
Chipset drivers up to nForce 3, Intel 8xx, and just about all VIA chipsets

I'd recommend putting together a legacy computer just for the older OS + Programs, e.g a Pentium III based PC (there are newer systems than this that are compatible, just Pentium III is a reasonable architecture from the late 90s.)

3870x2 · Dec 29, 2009, 01:25 AM

You can find good ole P4 (pM) laptops with 512 mb ram under $150 that are perfectly compatible with win98, give that a try.
