KB4025376 is compatible with Home edition, but an error message appeared when I tried to install KB4025338. It seems that KB4032695 is the last cumulative security update compatible with Home edition 1507.

I think the problem occurs because Legacy USB device support in BIOS is not fully compatible with Windows 98. You can use PS/2 mouse instead, or try to find compatible USB mouse. AFAIK, a Japanese user said Logitech G300r works fine with ASRock Z97 Extreme4, and he solved the problem by replacing G502 with G300r. My Logitech MX500 have the same problem, so I use its PS/2 converter. Besides, the USB 2.0 port on Asus A88X Gamer is compatible with USB 1.1, so I can install driver for OHCD USB Host Controller and USB mouse to solve the problem. I also use Maximus Decim Native USB ver.3.3 for EHCI USB Host Controller.

Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language display support

You can use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine to find those files. Japanese? http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/IME/5.02/W9XNT4/EN-US/msjaime.exe Traditional Chinese http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/IME/5.02/W9XNT4/EN-US/tcmondo.exe Simplified Chinese http://download.microsoft.com/download/ie5/IME/5.02/W9XNT4/EN-US/scmondo.exe -
Sound Blaster Audigy Rx (SB1550) works with kX Project Audio Driver 3538. Because kX Project dropped support for Windows 9x since 3538i, and I can't find out kxdrv3538g-update.exe and kx3538h.rar on the Internet, so I use 3538c. I can hear the sound from Audigy Rx by setting the S/PDIF frequency in kX mixer to 96000. 3537 doesn't support Audigy 2 Value (SB0400), so it is not compatible with Audigy Rx. I also tried official driver 1.88.0025 released for Audigy 2 Value, but it only works on Audigy 2 (SB0240).

If you use WDM driver, you may need to install 269601USA8.exe for better compatibility. If you tried VXD driver first, you can use CTZAPXX.exe to uninstall VXD driver before installing WDM driver.

KernelEx Apps Compatibility List (New)
halohalo replied to xrayer's topic in Windows 9x Member Projects
I uninstalled VBEMP display driver and tried to run AMDMsrTweaker 1.1, which requires HeapSetInformation. With KernelEx and Kstub822, I can turn off Turbo Core on Kaveri APU, but other functions like multiplier and voltage adjustments do not work. -

KernelEx Apps Compatibility List (New)
halohalo replied to xrayer's topic in Windows 9x Member Projects
English version of K15TK (AMD Kaveri APU tweaker) runs on KernelEx 4.5.2 with Kstub822. But I have to edit Kstub822.ini. [Kernel32.dll] ActivateActCtx=f2e CreateActCtxW=t1e DeactivateActCtx=f2e ReleaseActCtx=f1 GetFileSizeEx=f2e HeapSetInformation=f4e The utility is the only one that can change the clock speed by limiting P-State range on Windows 98 SE. I also tried AmdMsrTweaker 1.1 on KernelEx 4.5.2, but it needs DOS prompt and Windows 98 SE always freezes and shows a black screen when I access the DOS prompt window. CPU-Z 1.6.8, CrystalCPUID, HWiNFO32 5.2.2 can't show correct clock speed. But HWiNFO32 5.2.2 shows multiplier, voltage identification, and benchmark scores that can prove K15TK works. -
Is it possible to add missing "none specified" option back to select list? I am from Taiwan, so choosing the option "Taiwan, Province of China" becomes a problem for me. If I choose the option, it is inevitable that I have to spend time dealing with political arguments or online harassment. The note about ISO 3166 in English Wikipedia explains why it matters. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1#cite_note-18 Google avoids this political issue by changing the option "Country" to "Country/Region". So I think the "none specified" option is still necessary.

Since Dec 2014, AMD has released several iCafé unified drivers for China's internet cafes. Latest XP driver(9.000.300.3010) supports R7 360 and R9 370. Unfortunately, there is no device ID for R9 290. And I don't know how AMD "optimizes" the driver. I only know most files have been changed, but their version numbers stay the same.

I installed Windows 2000 on the NTFS formatted logical drive.

I've installed Windows 2000 on an ASUS A88X-GAMER with A8-7600. BlackWingCat's latest modded AHCI driver should be compatible with Bolton series chipset. So I modded another AHCI driver used by Hudson series chipset, and completed installation with a SATA optical drive. It is a bad idea to install Windows 2000 on AHCI storage devices, because you have to install all drivers you need again after updating UEFI BIOS. Fortunately, I installed Windows 2000 SP3 on an 80GB IDE hard drive with a converter adapter, and I selected IDE mode to prevent Windows 10 crash on start up. The formatting tool included in Windows 2000 SP3 is not reliable. Because Windows 10 can't create the logical drive in an extended partition after creating a primary partition in FAT32 format, I used the formatting tool included in W2K instead during installation, but W2K disappeared after installation. Finally, I made Windows 10 create the logical drive with help from SPFDISK, and completed installation. After updating to Windows 2000 SP4 SRP1 and DirectX 9.0C (Feb 2010), I installed modded Catalyst 14.4 on Radeon R7 and it worked. Although D3D7 and hardware acceleration decoding may not work, I am satisfied. Thanks to BlackWingCat and many people who contributed their ideas and times. AMD USB 3.0 root hub does not work, so I think both BlackWingCat's Extended Core and complete replacement of USB driver are necessary.

Dolphin (and pcsx2 as well) doesn't work on windows 98
halohalo replied to junior600's topic in Windows 9x/ME
Hardware acceleration needed for D3D 9.0c and OpenGL is not available on Windows 98 with KernelEx. So I think it is impossible to run Dolphin on 98. In fact, Dolphin doesn't work on Windows 2000 if you don't install KEP and other utilities made by BWC. Although gCube 0.3(gCube_nodebug.exe) emulator works on 98, it is too immature and outdated. Old PCSX2 0.94 should work on 98 with KernelEx. Maybe someday old Dolphin 2.0 will run on 98 with KernelEx, but expecting latest Dolphin and PCSX2 to run on 98 is impractical. -
Windows 10 Home 64bit, XP Pro 32bit, and W98SE 16bit Multiboot... Done
halohalo replied to ragnargd's topic in Windows 9x/ME
I didn't try multiboot, but I installed Windows 10 retail version on my old pc. When I installed Windows 10 from official 16GiB USB flash drive, installation hanged after showing the "invalid partition table" message. To solve the problem with GA-8I865PE775-G-RH (rev. 4.9), I created another bootable 4GiB USB flash drive by using Diskpart on Vista. Then I got a new problem. Just like Windows 8, installation hanged on the flag screen, and it took me one day to find a solution. I made a Windows 7 PE x86 boot disc by using WinPe-tch Direct on Windows 2000 (with KEP installed), and ran Notepad from Windows 7 PE to open \sources\setup.exe in Windows 10 flash drive as administrator. Finally, I ran setup.exe and completed installation. -

The Updated Mini List of Win98/ME Software

Archivers - Zipping Programs LAST - FREE - 7-zip 9.22 beta Since 9.32 alpha, 7-zip does not work on Windows 98/ME. LsaAddAccountRights function in Advapi32.dll is required, and it is necessary to set the compatibility mode to 2k with KernelEx for running 7zFM.exe. ----- The free Telnet/SSH client PuTTY 0.64 still works on Windows 98. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ -
I've solved the problem. Flash Player 13.0.0.206 only requires GdiAlphaBlend, but 13.0.0.214 requires GdiAlphaBlend and RtlInitUnicodeString. I got the error message because I deleted all other functions except GdiAlphaBlend.

Someone found a way to run latest Flash Player 11.8 for IE. It is necessary to change compatibility mode of Flash32_11_8_800_168.ocx to 2000 or XP, then run regsvr32 and register the OCX file.

NPSWF32_11_8_800_94.dll only works on 2000/XP mode.

Latest Flash Player 11.8.800.94 plugin works with Kext, just like 11.7. When I visit specific websites (like http://www.noitamina-brs.jp/english/movie/), Flash Player 11.x can't connect to the media server. I tried 10.3, 11.0, 11.1, 11.7 and 11.8. Only 11.x players receive the error code "VE_FMS_CONNECT_FAILED".

I got same JavaScript error with 3.7.x. QtWeb can't display Korean, Japanese or Chinese, and it shuts down when I try printing.

Thanks for your response, and I am happy to know that latest QtWeb still works on Windows 98.
