It can, but this is not 90s technology, this is 90s trash... Its like presenting nintendo wii as "Gaming system of the milenials" and being suprised that it cant run GTA V ;-)
@@PetrBelohoubek-ot5ok Nintendo wasn't developing with Triple A games during the WII - Wii Eras, it was the double A and indie games scene for them though.
Since when did Zachary become Zaca? I’m in *confusion* Edit : many stuff were released in 1996. Which was in the Mid 90’s. like N64 with its game Super Mario 64. And Crash Bandicoot. And. Uhh. Many stuff. Will smith’s movie Independence Day was released 👍
Another thing, however, this guy is a Australian, which means that he has like the pal versions of all the games which means it’s slightly slower except if he buys a nes classic or snes classic he will get North American versions of games for those systems
Hey I got Minecraft 1.3 running on a 2001 dell demession. Intel celron 1.7 GHz and a reason 2900. It ran at like 5-10 fps. The main bottleneck wasn't rendering but it was the game logic. Classic cube runs at 70 fps.Awesome vid. I loved the Wii one as I had a Wii and was inspired to mod it. Thanks for the great videos❤
That is still miles more powerful than the Toshiba used in this video that's from 1996, at this point I think classicube can launch on absolutely anything that has a screen.
any cpu from that era will be miles better and more powerfull. i ran 1.7.10 without any big issues and i think something more but i don't really remember on an ahtlon xp 2600+ (that was downclocked at 1.1Ghz because mobo). i used the old java launcher (that at the time still worked fine). but that's windows xp era machines, nothing to do with this 95 era portable pc
@@SharkVaderYT I remember doing that during a Fun Night my school was hosting, that was back when you’d have to search for it with the tagline “Sweet and Awesome” to get a copy unblocked that allowed you to input a custom username without needing anything other. It was all fun until a faculty member came in and shut that all down lol
That exact laptop was my first laptop ever. I spent a lot of my childhood trying to copy files from random computers and CDRWs to get Windows XP on it. So many memories! I was 9 in 2005 when I got it. I tried getting Doom 3 on it. Found out about Doom 95
For the transferring problem, you could have connected the laptop to your network (it has a port on the back) and connect to a windows file via file sharing. I also think windows 95 supports FTP which is a good way to transfer files over the network.
Zacca, I am not sure if Macs support this function, but on Windows and Linux when you are not filling the whole CD, you have the option to either leave the remaining space available for future files (so you can add, but not remove files to it) or tell the disk to ignore the remaining space, making it none-writable. This option can save you quite a few disks if you are transferring small files.
My friend had one of these! It was old by the time he received it, but we spent many hours during sleepovers making animations in PowerPoint, so many that I actually prefer the layout of PowerPoint from that era!
As someone who last than 5 hours ago finished copying a 60megabyte file over a serial connection with 9600 baud... naw burning discs each time is less stressful
Bro tried connecting a host to another host.. Cable User Error XD sorry man Also you needed the drivers for the GPU in the laptop. It probably doesn't even have proper OpenGL support at all if the driver was already installed from the previous user(s), which is why the file was missing... because it should be. That's why it took so long to find the file that worked, because you had to find the only one that came inside that driver. I actually love how you, not knowing what you're doing whatsoever, somehow got this to work and is running a channel from it. Absolutely incredible. Unless you actually really do know all of this crap and it's an act......
Minecraft made me cry, too: I once cried because I was horribly lost. It isn't the only game that made me cry, though: I cried my eyes out in the final episode of Life is Strange.
Love! These laptops. I had a Toshiba Satellite very similar to this a few years ago and, man they are just brilliant. Great for games from 92-97. I remember being impressed it even ran Quake 2 very well!
The best way to transfer files at the time those things were used alongside more modern hardware, was by using a PCMCIA card that could interface with an external 10mbps card, the kind so old it had an ethernet port and a coax BNC connector. This kind of setup wasn't that rare in late 90's.
When i was 10 or 11 my grandpa gave me his old laptop from the late 90s, and I tried to do exactly this. I ran into the same issue with OpenGL but couldnt figure out how to fix it passed downloading the DLL files. I'm 22 now, and someone else has actually figured out how to do it, I can't believe anyone else even tried to. Good to know my efforts were in vain.
Those DLL files are for directx use, the reason it runs so bad is its trying to software render the image because back then 3d accelerators in laptops were hard to come by if at all. We had issues like this with quake etc when its software rendered and not hardware.
For DOS machines, those old Toshibas are great, you have to use an external monitor to get the right resolution, unless you get the right laptop with the right ones.. My Toshibas have a 300mhz Pentium 2, and a 800mhz something Pentium 3. My other two laptops are Fujitsu brand and 133mhz.
Before this video I was convinced that I was the world's greatest Minecraft enthusiast. Now I'm not so sure that you aren't competition, mate. Well done.
Randomly got recommended this video and it fits my nerd niches perfectly! Btw, from the look of how thin that initial Micro USB cable was, I think it's a power only cable, meaning the pins and wires are missing for the data lines! Or it could have just been a cheap crappy cable. xD
I use to download abandonware and transfer the files to my classic 90s Mac. I'd have to burn the files onto a CD, the iMac G3 was able to read the files and from there I'd transfer the files to a Zip Drive and from the Zip Drive my classic 90s Mac could read the files. You can't just transfer from a modern computer to a classic computer, you have to have an in-between computer that can read the data and write the data for an older computer to read, if that makes sense.
I used to run Minecraft server in the early beta days on a dual Pentium 3 1.4ghz blade with 3 gigs of ram. It worked pretty well but slow on terrain gen.
I ran classicube on similar configurations, and here's a tip, if you reduce the resolution of the game, the FPS will become much higher, for this you need to open a chat and enter "/res 320x240" so the fps will increase to 4, if set 160x120 it will already be 15 fps
That version of OpenGL you used was an implementation of mesa so it was software rendering. That laptop unfortunately didn’t have a proper GPU that could do openGL and that’s why you had those DLL issues as it is supposed to come with the drivers. You need a laptop with say a voodoo (not sure if any existed) or like a rage XL or something.
Dude. This was my first laptop. My dad gave it to me when I was about 12, like 1997 or something. Used to run age of empires like a gun and play cds at the same time
Wow. Whenever I tried to run Classicube on a 486 or Pentium class machine it just crashed, even when I had a true OpenGL capable card in the PC. I always assumed it just wasn't coded to support these architectures. Now I have to try it again.
First the Pentium processor in that laptop was the first of its kind to have enough power to handle a mp3 file without doing much else. Second I feel like you’d get better performance than this laptop if you tried on a windows 98 computer preferably with a decent graphics chip. The advancements in computing between 1996 and 1998 is a rather huge one that hasn’t been really seen since, as far as raw performance and some standards are concerned. Additionally you’d even have usb to work with.
Yea that's how we did it, burned what we wanted on to discs, people now take for granted so much. And to be fair I understand it, if you have grown up with the improvements. Then you don't know any different, but without these humble beginnings we would not have, frankly the staggering innovations we do now.
