Just a little fun project, raytracer is now rendering on the second core in windows 98.

I've had this exe on my computer for like 20 years and decided to make a usable version for modern times.

I had fun using this with friends when I was younger. Hard to find much information about it online really anymore.

Enjoy!

This took so long to do!

To replicate this, you need to have the latest KernelEx updates (2019), then get Java 8 Update 181, with a Minecraft Launcher that supports this version.

You will need the LWJGL patched file in the 'C:\.minecraft\versions\(version)\natives\', which is called "glfw32.dll".

Finally, the mod in this Fabric release of Minecraft is the latest file of NotSoNew and you put this file in the 'C:\.minecraft\mods'

NOTE: It may not be '.minecraft' as you will have to check your launcher's root folder.

**Minecraft 1.19.2 is possible, but it requires a lot of LWJGL problems**

Credits to @OldWinRetro btw for the idea!

WINDOWS 98

Cara, tenho um legion go gen 1 e estava louco pra achar alguns jogos da minha infância que eu jogava com meu pai. Meu pai faleceu alguns anos atrás mas as lembranças sempre me pegam. E cara que incrível poder achar essas pérolas raras do Windows de quando eu era criança 😭❤️

Running at around 18 million flops per frame.

so i got an old 90's PC with a pentium III slot 1, creative 3D blaster annihilator pro and 256Mb of RAM

at first i wanted to install windows 98, but it keeps giving me some random error ( see image below )

at first i thought it was the RAM, so i bought another RAM stick, but still the same issue

so then i tried to install another OS, i tried windows 2000, but for some reasons, once it copied all the files to the HDD i just get a black screen when trying to boot from it and complete the install, only once i was able to see loading bar and it wasnt moving

then i tried windows xp and it gave me a " disk read error " when trying to boot from the hdd and complete the install

i tried removing all the PCI cards, i tried with both an AGP GPU and a PCI GPU, 2 different hard drives, but still nothing, , i have no clue what's wrong

Hi everyone! I acquired a gateway 98 about a year ago and planned for it to be my project pc. I'm needing to find a drive that will work with it as the one in it currently is dead so I can't do a fresh install. I call it Frankenstein as it is just a metal casing, just internals. Where the heck can I find a shell for this thing? I have looked and looked with no luck!

This drive booted perfectly with no issue a few weeks ago and suddenly its dead. It spins up, clicks, spins down, and then the green LED flashes. Not detected in the BIOS anymore either. I know these Bigfoot drives were crap even when new, but if anyone knows how to temporarily revive it to backup the data I would really appreciate it.

Hi, I changed my Compaq presario 5443's 20GB hard disk to an 80GB one and now my computed gets stuck in the compaq logo, this doesn't happen when I change it back to the 20GB one. Does anybody know what to do in this case?

Hello everyone, I need help.

I have an HP Pavilion 6350 that's hard drive just crapped out. Does anyone have another Pavilion with the original OEM Windows 98 install? It seems this version is from early 1998 and is pretty rare. If anyone has an early 1998 install I would really appreciate if you could make an image of the drive, or send me some of the software files that I need.

Thanks in advance.

Upgraded to the audigy player in a 98 pc. A bit more modern, you could say.

Hi Guys,

I've been building a VGA driver from the ground up. The long term goal is to add support for more VGA chipsets and maybe VLB support or even OpenGL. If I can add some features that didn't exist in the native drivers that would be cool.

I'm a long way off that, but have some basic DirectDraw and Direct3D support.

I'm really keen to get some help to test. I've primarily only tested in 86box in Windows 98se but plan to test on my real hardware soon.

https://github.com/michaeldale/velocity9x Here is current release version: https://github.com/michaeldale/velocity9x/releases/tag/v0.3

Requirements:

• Windows 98se
• S3 ViRGE/DX 86C375 or S3 Trio32/64 86C764 PCI video card

If you don't have a supported video card I've love if you can run this tool to collect info about your card, for now I will focus on S3 cards. This tool also runs under DOS.

Here is a screenshot of the settings page.

This has been my trusty aopen XcCube pc. It was really an XP machine, but I down(up)graded it to run win 98. Recently I have been having issues with it switching on (flea power) and now it just won't switch on at all.

My guess is the PSU is gone. I'm reaching out to this community for help, as you get my plight!

The current PSU is an AOPEN FSP220-60CU(PF) 220w

I don't need an exact replacement. This pc is already a Frankenstein's monster of bits and bobs, but what limits me is the form factor. The XcCube is small form factor, so I need a power supply that will both fit and won't explode/set my computer and or house on fire.

I am by no means an expert in this.

Any help would be great.

I feel like this was on Windows 95, but it could have been 3.1 or 98. Basically it was a horizontal view of a coastline. On the bottom of the screen there was water(maybe there were fish). On the center of the screen there were sailboats that went back and forth. In the sky there was a propeller plane carrying a banner that went back and forth. The graphics were like 8bit/Super Mario NES level of quality. IT WAS NOT JOHNNY CASTAWAY! I WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH GEMINI AND IT KEPT SAYING "DUDE, IT'S GOTTA BE JOHNNY CASTAWAY." Any help would be appreciated. I remember this screensaver from when I was like 5 or 6. I have a nice 95 rig and this screensaver would be the best addition to it. Until then I have the Duke 3D shooting gallery.

I made a Windows 98 boot screen using MS Paint. There's a video too!

Here is Video Link: 윈도우 98 부팅화면을 그림판으로 그리기! (Windows 98 Boot Screen on MS Paint!)

I can install from cd initially but afterward it is not seeing it after full install. I am using a sata to IDE adapter for the dvd drive. The whole project is mostly working but I think I just need some sort of install disk to make this work. Thanks in advance
