Advice salvage older hardware and desktop case and make a restoration project if it works it might be that older computers can be considered retro pieces I prefer older Operating Systems because newer ones block certain software and it was a mistake for Microsoft to even go this route. The more they upgrade the more expensive it becomes this is kind of unfair for those who just want a computer I am wanting my Windows 7 Vista back very badly and thinking about formatting and putting it on here my computer isn't compatible with Windows 11 so I am thinking about taking advantage if you have a virus scanner it's all you need you have the option to revert expect no support from Microsoft though apparently they don't want your money that bad enough.

There is actually a SATA driver for DVD drives for DOS. It is called XDVD2 Also a better tool than patchmem it is called limit9x. Basically, you don't need to change RAM into your computer. It just makes it so regardless of your actual Memory, Windows98 will only see and reserve 512mb. This is the maximum and avoids having to limit the system to 4GB

Rudolph Loew's patch is better. It allows Windows 98 to actually take advantage of all 4 GB of RAM (the absolute maximum for a 32-bit non-PAE OS).

@markpmar0356 Год назад

The first OS I used was Windows 98 and it was in 1998 and because some things never change, it didn't run very well at first and the OS didn't really stabilize until it was patched in Windows 98 Second Edition the following year. It was a great OS to play with and learn from but as an OS meant to run on DOS and in 32-bit environments, I'm surprised you got as far as you did. The most "modern" CPU I ever used with Win 98 was a Pentium D. Win 98 wasn't meant to operate past "Pentium !!!", as it was called. And 512 MB of DRAM would've been a huge luxury in 1998-99. I used 32 MB of memory in my first PC. That PC still runs and I have Mr. Loew's software patches, too. It remains one of my favorite builds. Currently, I am using Windows 7. I call it "the perfected Windows 98"! Thanks for this video.

@jonathanrees3765 Год назад

Single CPU/core showing up is to be expected, first Microsoft operating system that supported 2 CPUs was NT. At least 1 vendor had an NT 4.0 HAL that supported a whole 4 CPUs (but went out of support really fast). Safe mode loads without any non essential drivers - so if boots in safe mode but not normally it is a driver issue. It is sometimes possible to back port drivers from a newer Windows operating system - under the bonnet even 11 still has old code. Windows retains unused drivers, so when you swap between boards it retains garbage from different board(s). In device manager "Show hidden devices" will normally display these. It is often useful to uninstall these devices/drivers when you have problems as it cleans up plug and play. Plug and play does not actually work properly if the graphics driver is not right or not functioning correctly - not sure why, but after graphics driver install system often then would correctly identify the rest of the system. Installing 95 on older DOS systems often had problems because of faulty RAM - that never showed in DOS.

@bitemykrank1970 Год назад

You don't need the USB stick to do a Win98 install. All you need is to copy the win98 folder from the CD to your HDD and run setup from it directly. It's the way we did it back in the day.

Could be down to the Legacy implementation of the UEFI bios. I run into that problem off and on, and many current motherboard no longer have legacy. Another possibility is that AMD still retains more legacy architectures than Intel is. Hard to know which is the case, but congrats you found something that works non the less.

Looks like AMD CPU has some good backward compatible capabilities. I am surprised it even worked, because modern PCIe drivers use a lot more memory than the PCI ones in the late 90’s. It also shows how well PCIe is designed for backward compatibility, when the physical bus is completely different, yet the software addressing still shares enough with PCI to let the OS start.

There is a setting in the start up config that can tell win98 to limit ram used to 512 or 1 gb etc. I used it on an older Athlon 64 PC to limit ram to 2gb, also had Rob's memory patch on the PC. Ran perfectly. Though the ram limit was not read if starting in safe mode so would need to drop ram to under 2gb if I really needed to go into safe mode which was very rare.

@AR2R5 Год назад

WOW!!! I just installed a fresh Windows 98 on modern HW few weeks ago and I would love to view this kind of video then. Now I finished and it's not actual for me anymore. Anyway - I felt your struggle during installation. It took me like few nights to install everything. And few more days to install specific PCI card for medical equipment and find drivers. This is why I did need W98. Anyway I looked your video from start to finish. Thanks :) P.S. My PC was with DDR3 and I had a spare 1GB stick - it was a miracle, but it did show all of 1gb without memory patch. And for GPU I did use "VBEMP 9x Project" GPU drivers. As for the error during normal boot - In my case I found out that Advanced Power Management driver was causing errors. I did uninstall it and disable and it allowed to boot normally. Oh and one more thing - windows 98 DON'T like changing memory stick placement. If you installed on one stick in slot 0 then it should be left like that. This was one issue that I had for a long time. Maybe you can try again if have energy to do it once more :)

But unfortunately these old OSes are retired and do not support new hardware fully. Lack of drivers makes these brilliant OS unusable nowadays. But still I am thinking to install xp for educational purpose for my kids. Atleast they can use old encyclopedia and other useful softwares of XP era.

I’ve tried once back in the late ‘90s to install and run Windows 3.11 on my Windows 95 Pentium 233MHz PC, with 64MB of RAM, split in half to create a 32MB RAMdisk, where I installed the windows 3.11 just for fun, to see how fast they’d boot up. Not only did they run properly (until I exited and I rebooted the PC, which obviously erased them from the RAMdisk), but they booted up in just about 1 sec! I think that the most time of the booting process was for the monitor to switch mode from text to the graphics resolution! 😂 My first ever PC, which I had back in 1991 had Windows 3.0, and it was just a 386sx/16MHz, with 2MB RAM and 40MB hard drive.

My first own PC was a hand-down from my uncle, running Windows 3.11 in 1998. Not any programs, just some games from floppy disks my older sister copied on her PC (she was already living in her own apartment). I learned using computers at a friend's house, whose father worked in IT and thus she had two Windows 95 PC's at home (we met at school when we entered elementary school in 1994). In 5th grade, we had a basic PC course with basic office skills on Windows 98 and our public library opened a PC corner with flatscreen PCs and Windows 98. When 2000 came out, they upgraded to Windows 2000 and kept it. At my high school, we also used Windows 2000. My 2nd own PC was from my mother's office when they purchased new PCs. I got it around 2003, running Windows 98. In 2006, I finally convinced my mother to get DSL and that I need a better PC for school, and we purchased a refurbished Win2000 Dell from ebay. A couple of months later my system crashed, and a friend knew someone working for Microsoft and thus could get me a discounted XP disc. Once XP was installed, I could still access the 2000 image saved on the hard drive - but could not boot 2000 for some reason. My favorite systems are 2000 and 7.

I once installed WFW (Windows 3.11) on a Pentium 166 with 128MB of ram and it ran quite well, I was still able to get drivers for everything I needed and with so much ram even things like photoshop launched in under a second, but the only issue was it was a little unstable and would crash occasionally. In my opinion Windows 2000 was peak windows, it was the most stable and didn't have any unnecessary bloat, but XPSP3 with the garish blue/green start menu disabled was pretty good too, after that Windows has gone down hill, with stuff being added to make it harder to install/maintain and extra bloat to make it slower.

@myname604 8 месяцев назад

I used to mod my Win98se so I could run it forever. I lost it and didn't have a back up of my years of work modding the system. Back ups were complicated because of migration to new PC's as I moved along through time. I had added large drive support, NTFS support among other file systems, and even had it running XP SP3 software including .NET framework. With Windows 98 SE anything is possible. Some of the secrets starts with DOS, I had to use parts of DOS 5, 6 , windows 98 base DOS and windows ME secret non-interface DOS 8 components and utilities to enable a broad range of of functions and abilities. I installed many DOS based drivers under the hood to achieve a greater level of system management as well as reducing system crashes with windows only based drivers. The root level of control is amazing and the performance makes the lastest gaming windows 11 system look like a 286 from 1989. Like I said, it was so many mods and so many complexities I lost track of the what I did and the and software I needed. The loss was terminal. It was years of f'n around and keeping up with changes in the world of PC tech and software.

Windows 2000 with kernel ex and blackwingcats updates and I think a custom compiled ghecko based browser worked quite well. RU-vid worked, if he can find a modern browser for it it will would be cool as fuk. I'm so bored I might even try it myself.

A 3950X is has 64MB of L3 Cache, which is way more than most computers had RAM back in the days. So you wouldn't actually need to use the RAM at all for most things.

@remo27 Год назад

While I appreciate that he chose to do this the hard way, I , myself , was thinking why bother? Even if you can get it to work, look how much you have to cripple the modern machine in order to let it run. Windows 98 was made at a time when 256 megabytes was alot of system memory. Your processor would be single core and neither AMD nor Intel had even yet hit the 1Ghz mark as far as clockspeed (though that would come pretty soon). MMX was still only 3 or 4 years old at the time. The internet was still mostly accessed via telephone dial-up, and speeds were such that even News sites often had only a few very grainy and often black and white videos and a few dozen mostly small .jpg pics that would often take a minute or so to download themselves. A modern machine has to sacrifice pretty much all its computing power and memory and run special, hacked or hacked together drivers to even get the system to limp along, so why bother? Just use a VM if you like the OS's features or interface so much. Ironically, Windows 98 in a VM actually runs BETTER than it runs natively anymore, plus you can still use the rest of your machine.

@Magnus_Loov Год назад

@@remo27 To make some use of the modern hardware, I think Windows XP 64 would have been the earliest OS. But it, if I remember correctly, had quite a few problems with drivers and app compatibility that Windows Vista 64 for some strange reason didn't have. So maybe you would have had to go all the way to 'Windows Vista. And that, frankly, isn't so far off from current systems. And you would still be limited by the app support for browsers and and other apps. And probably drivers too. No reason not to go virtual for practical usage. But only for fun some people do installs like this. It is kind of the same thing with people who install old OS:es on their own assembled hardware. Like a "Dos-gaming" Pc with a 486 with Vesa Local bus that I saw somebody building. Maybe with the exception for some sound card drivers for external midi all that can probably be done in a VM. Probably with less energy expending too since newer hardware is more efficient and will use next to nothing when running these old OS:es and programs.

I did 9x (ME) on a 4Core Dual Vista which is by design VIA PT880 chipset the newest board that has drivers for 9x. And it supports upto a E6600 and E7600 Core 2 Duo (which both should make for the fastest 9x CPU as C2Ds have a higher per Clock Performance on single core than any of the Pentium 4 and D.) after all the 7600 was built on the newer Wolfdale/Penryn node. Per Core the performance in that Generation was higher on Dual Cores than on Quad Cores (after all the Core 2 Quads were glued together Core 2 duo). Making the E8600 and any 8500 and 8400 that could be clocked at 8600 speeds the fastest LGA775 in Single Core Performance.

@BackroomsSlayer 8 месяцев назад

The maximum ram that Windows 98 can boot with is 1 gig. If you add more, you will be stuck in a boot loop and this is after the 512mb limitation patch is applied. 1gig is a hard limit for 98, also there are processor speed limitations as well that may cause system instabilties and crashes if the speed is too fast and it may prevent booting. a similar cpu speed issue exists on 95 as well as the most recent processor it will run on is a pentium pro.

You may have more success installing Win98 on a VM. I recall installing DOS many years ago on a VM running XP as the host OS, but that was about 20 years ago so you may still have some driver issues but by using a VM you could allocate 512MB as RAM and at least you would eliminate that particular issue. None the less an interesting video.

Mine came with basically initial bios and a low spec Pentium D. One bios flash and 2€ spend on eBay later I have the C2D e7600, the newest arch chip that is according to AsRock supported on the 4CD I chose the 7600 over the 6600 because the ipc on the Wolfdale chip should be better than on that Conroe

Commander Keen is an MS-DOS game. You can't run any proper DirectX etc game in 9x without graphics drivers, and for nVidia, the last known cards that do, with modded drivers, is the Geforce 7xxx series. 6xxx has proper drivers. And even with that, for a PCI-E card, to get the driver working, you need to install the driver and afterwards remove the "standard VGA driver" from the devices list on 98. The newest PC I successfully had a proper Win98 installation (with chipset/gpu and on a SATA drive in legacy mode) was a s775 with E8xxx CPU and a 6800 pci-e GPU. For sound I went with SB-Live! 1024 as I wanted DOS emulation :) Also, there's a DOS memory manager that actually replaces himem and limits the RAM, no need for the patch with that one. (Mr Loew 's work hadn't been released freely yet)

@elbmw Год назад

Maybe I misunderstood your comment but I can run pretty much any DOS game on my Win10 PC through DOSBox. I do remember that I had to change some settings in the DOSBox config file to slow the speed of the game and the size of the window to ran maximised in one of my 23" monitors. BTW this is on an overclocked Sapphire Radeon RX590 Nitro+ Special Edition running the latest compatible Radeon drivers with Adrenaline.
