  1. Try older versions of wxWidgets - 2.9.5/3.0.5. Also look here: https://glizda.wordpress.com/2021/05/19/compiling-programs-for-windows-95-and-pentium-in-2021/ (though this is mostly relevant for Win95 support specifically, Win98/SE/ME gives you more options) For proper Win9x development, sooner or later you won't be able to escape Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0/Visual Studio 2005.
  2. Don't bother with chipset drivers, they are not needed. You can try the already mentioned unofficial pack of Intel chipset drivers from LoneCrusader but I don't see a reason for it. Integrated GPU is not supported (latest Intel GPU supported for 98SE is the Extreme Graphics 2 from the 865 chipset), use a PCI-E win98 compatible GPU like the GeForce 6000/7000 series or (preferrably imo) Radeon X300/X550/X600/X700/X800/X850 series...or a 30 year old PCI gpu Integrated Audio is not supported (unless it's a ac97 chip and not a hd audio chip), use a cheap USB Sound Card or a PCI Sound card like the SB Live or something like that... Integrated LAN is supported if it's a realtek chip, search for Realtek PCI-E gigabit LAN drivers for 98... Unless planning to use flashdrives to copy files, don't bother with USB 2.0 drivers, 98's built in USB 1.1 support is enough for Keyboard/Mice/cheap sound cards... If you need USB 2.0 drivers, use nusb33e.exe For more than 512MB of RAM, use PATCHMEM. Don't be alarmed by any remaining Unknown Devices in the Device Manager, they do not do any harm.
  3. Will this break in 2038 like the System Restore function in WinME?
  4. Try sticking to the English version of 98SE and setting the locale to Czech because a lot of (un)official patches are only available for the English version. I no longer recommend big unofficial Service Packs for 98SE, install only whatever given program/game requires. (like IE6 SP1, DX9.0c, WMP9, VC++ 2005 redist, InstMsiA, etc...) Make sure you are using the SHELL32.DLL fix after IE6 SP1 is installed: https://msfn.org/board/topic/84451-98-fe-98-sp1-98-se-me-shell32dll-fix/ You can also use Windows Update Restored v4 to have as close as the original experience back in the day of updating 98SE: http://windowsupdaterestored.com/
  5. Been using StartAllBack for quite a while now and I am throroughtly enjoying it. I still have two minor things I want to point out:, nothing game-breaking: 1. I have mentioned it already but there is no way still to change the language of the Settings window and is forced on with system locale. 2. New systray icons in the taskbar are not put in front of the list and I have to manually move them each time. For example, I launch Discord, Telegram and Epic Games Launcher in this order and I would like it to have the right order going from left to right (newest to oldest ran application followed by already opened applications and system icons). The icons for new applications often go in completly random places in the systray it seems...
  6. There's also some discussion (and alternative code) over at ru-board: https://forum.ru-board.com/topic.cgi?forum=62&topic=31453&start=3660
  7. It is working! CREGFIX, HIMEMX, PATCHMEM, AHCI Driver (with patcher9x), GeForce 7900 GTX, Delock 89135 USB 2.0 PCI-E x1 card with USB Mouse and USB Audio Card attached. No LAN - too new, no DOS/NDIS2 drivers available. Rebooting doesn't work but Shutdown -> Ctrl+Alt+Del works equally well. Need to run using WIN, rather than automatically, otherwise every second boot fails on AHCI.PDR, weird...
  8. This is huge news! I will definitely try this with my i3-12100F, 7900 GTX and the PRO H610M-B DDR4. @Omoresmaybe you should see this
  9. But you wrote: The IBM file I mentioned earlier does this: Which matches what you wrote in that post. Is IgnorePnPBIOS even a valid option? I can't find it mentioned anywhere besides your posts, hard to believe no-one found it before you...
  10. I have tried that CamStudio on 98SE on VirtualBox using SoftGPU and the Microsoft Video 1 codec and the videos are looking fine, have you tried different codecs?
  11. How they are different? And yes, I know regular setup works well for majority of appropriate machines (having official 9x support) but for those that are newer or have Device Manager problems with ACPI, switching to APM using "setup /p i" fixes all issues without any drawbacks, or at least I do not know of any major ones.
  12. Old CamStudio 2.0 should work: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2020/07/camstudio-20.html Of course best "screen capture" would be to use a capture card
  13. ACPI often messes up with the device enumeration. A 9x PC with ACPI can have yellow marks in Device Manager whereas the same system without it, is perfectly fine. I do not see any benefits to use ACPI on 9x, even on period correct hardware...maybe hibernation? But hibernation on FAT32 is not a good idea anyways... It is not a coincidence that IBM specifically tells the user to install 98SE without ACPI as can be seen here in one of their files for their T4x series of ThinkPads, see here: https://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/tpisos98.txt http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/tpisos98.exe
  14. It is highly recommended (outside of VirtualBox I think) to use "setup /p i" rather than "setup /p j" regardless of how old or new the PC is.
  15. No harm in testing them regardless. If needed, force the install by selecting the regular 7800 GTX from the list of devices.
