A Test with Firefox 2.0.0.20: Google opens, if I set general.useragent.extra.firefox to value RetroZillaBrowser/2.2 instead of Firefox/2.0.0.20. As far as I can see it doesn't really help much. Now the nss updates, I suspect in particular TLS1.2, are required to open the search addresses. Google still works on Retrozilla.

Hallo defuser, I did some speedometer 2.0 tests on different ME machines with Serpent, Newmoon and Iceape (Hardware acceleration enabled). All tests had successfully completed. The results are speeds in the lower range. The cpu's are Intel Nortwood, ConroeL - Celereon 450, Conroe - E6420 and Wolfsdale - E8400. As expected brought the Northwood and the Cerleron machines the lower and the E8400 the highest result. Speedometer 3.1 could hang at 6 of 580. There were no browser freezes and hangs, also not with speedometer 3.

Version 20250823: Now the file exchange of nss.dll and xul.dll (20250531) causes an error. It is also necessary to replace omni.ja. Omni.ja (20250809) should work. That's tested with Serpent 55. Such updates are increasingly minor.

NewMoon (sqlite 3.50.1) - moreover broken :
- direct input URL
- all Dev tools missing except "page source" in menu on second browser startA message appears below Tab bar in Newmoon Browser on start "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional, because one of New Moon's files is in use by another application. Some security software can cause this problem." - Of course, certainly not the reason here
The replace of the two files of release 20250531 seem to be harmless and doesn't cause new problems so far.

Correction. Sorry, "Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows" doesn't really work with latest IceApe. The menu items are merely highlighted. It only works with Newmoon. I must have been quite tired yesterday. So check whether it works with Newmoon.

How did you manage to do this? In IceApe, it only works after rolling back the two files mentioned earlier.
I didn't make something special. I tested on two machines and also with fresh profiles. I can only guess. I could test on a more reduced system, maybe I could try with the Kext files I provide on the first page here.

After a further check, I realised that at least "Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows" still works with IceApe and Newmoon here.
So I see a different behaviour to Serpent.

The 0bit download is a Seamonkey problem and its forks. Firefox and PM aren't affected.

Yes, the files for Serpent
and Newmoonare XUL and nss3. I already assumed that the problem is related to the Sqlite lib update 3.50.1. I wondered, whether it is possible to edit XUL, but I didn't find the sqlite identifier in it. So that it is possible to avoid the Sqlite update error message on start, if using the new xul file. For me IceAPE-UXP is really not my first choice, because of the 0bit download problem. Or is there a fix out there?0 -
Serpent/Newmoon latest Versions 20250617:
Restore Previous Session, Recently Closed Tabs and Recently Closed Windows seem to be not functional and the History and the Bookmarks created on XP+ can't be used on ME/98 anymore - now empty. So Library could be almost completely broken on Win ME now. Probably the passwords aren't saved anymore and auto fill is broken, too. Maybe even more broke. The next days will show that.

The Google search works again, if I set cookies to keep until they expire. Usually I set cookies to keep until I close ...
The problem occurs after accept to the cookies and data policy.

Nice that you solved the problem. Normally, there is no reason to install NUSB on Win ME. Win ME has the (HID) drivers by default. Maybe there is a problem between ME and QEMU.

I think a memory problem can largely excluded, if the entries [386Enh] MaxPhysPage=40000 and also a[vcache] MaxFileCache=393216 exist in the system.ini. MaxFileCache must be smaller than 524288. I believe, I had tested an similar board with AWARD BIOS probably fifteen years ago. As far as I remember 98 or ME didn't boot. I can't remember the details anymore.
I use G31 boards Asus P5KPL (EPU and 1600) - but with AMI BIOS - without problems. IDE Config in BIOS must set on Compatible (PATA Mode, max four ATA devices).Let's see what the bootlog reveals.
We have different installation discussions and instructions on this board and also elsewhere on the web.

Yes, look for Integrated Peripherals/On-Chip SATA Mode: First I would try "Non-Combined - Sets all SATA devices to operate in PATA mode and disables the integrated IDE controller". Don't set Enhanced Mode. (Award BIOS) Make sure that you don't allow more than 4 ATA devices and they must work in IDE (PATA) Mode. Be aware, that 98SE isn't supported by manufacturer. So there is no guarantee that it works. Apart from that some members had success with RLoew's SATA Patch.

I did some quick tests on ME and probably the last fully working and stable version is 6.92. I already get access violations with version 7.00.
From https://web.archive.org/web/20231215051734/https://www.aida64.com/ :
"FinalWire Introduces AIDA64 v7.00
Revamped Design and AMD Threadripper 7000 Optimizations

The new AIDA64 update introduces a revamped user interface with a configurable toolbar, as well as AVX-512 accelerated benchmarks for AMD Threadripper 7000 processors, AVX2 optimized ..."
The developers have probably noticed this with v7.60 now. Version 7 and higher is only of limited use. It starts and runs by clicking the violation messages away. Memory Benchmarks and other things no longer work.

Indeed currently I have no Win98(SE) installation on a hard drive.
On 1/14/2025 at 8:20 PM, defuser said:Greetings. I have a video card with a similar design to yours and it looks like I will soon have to do the same procedure... Let me ask you, after the BIOS patch, do you have a normal exit from DOS (Back to WINDOWS) using the "Exit" command?
This is a key issue that the NVCORE.VxD patch failed to address. More precisely, it was this patch that broke the exit from DOS, which was tested on the reference 128MB GeForce 5 video card, first with the original NVCORE.VxD, with which the exit from DOS worked fine, and then with the patched NVCORE.VxD, with which the exit from DOS stopped working, all other things being equal. And even fine-tuning MTRR did not give positive results in this issue (But it repeatedly increased the speed of 2D and page scrolling in browsers, as well as the performance of games under DOS). Therefore, there is only one hope left - a BIOS patch.
I checked it on ME. It's probably just as it should be in the case of the DOS Box here. The box closes using the "Exit" command. But you changed the description of the problem. So maybe now you mean "Real DOS".

Youtube: The button "Remind ME Later" on request page for Browser update doesn't work anymore. Now also version 52 and Mypal 29.3 is affected. One solution is to change the useragent (Firefox 68 or higher). Or use RT's forks like Basilisk or Palemoon.

Firefox 24: The value of "security.tls.version.max" must be 3, otherwise you can't open a search address. It confirms my guess. (3=TLS1.2)
