    https://deltacity.stare.pro/ Found this recently, looks pretty cool. Claims to be better than MDGx stuff.

    Try flashing an older BIOS, maybe the latest one causes trouble in 98SE. Also try unplugging as much stuff as you can inside your laptop (modem and other not necessary stuff)

    Umm...looking at your laptop, it uses the SiS 650 chipset. It should be fully compatible with 98SE without any setup switches or anything. Don't know why you have such problems. Did you update to the latest BIOS? How much RAM do you have? If more than 512MB, remove some. For drivers look up "sis 650 windows 98" and "sis 650 gigabyte" in Google. Also the official SiS website of course: http://w3.sis.com/download/agreement.php?url=/download/ I don't know about WiFi drivers (which might be one major problem), since I do not know the WiFi module. Does the laptop work fine with other OS like XP? Maybe the hardware is faulty. Try installing with a clean hard drive and just straight OEM CD/retail CD with bootdisk without any switches or modifications.

    Only if the programs are made with rloew's API. I'm still waiting for a 98SE source code leak, Russians, where are you? We can add hacks, stubs, new API's on top of the existing 1999 files, but for how long?

    Is that malware from recent years? Or old malware that is not commonly found on the new Web, unless specifically looking for it? I'm talking about executables, other types are exploited no matter what OS you're running.

    Try these solutions: 1. Limit the RAM to 512MB, put MaxPhysPage=20000 in the [386enh] section in the C:\Windows\System.ini file 2. Use older drivers, not 81.98, but 45.23, you can find them here: http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/45.23/45.23_win9x_english.exe The uninstaller from 81.98 drivers does not work, you should be able to install them anyways.

    Well, when I install 98SE with 98lite using the Chubby option, my DxDiag also hangs on DirectPlay, and on the next startup, asks if you want to skip DirectPlay in DxDiag. Try installing 98SE normally without 98lite.

    Try to find older drivers ,https://www.driverguide.com might help, it's a good site now, unlike it was years ago. It can show INF files inside the drivers, so you can check if they will work with your device ID. Also try installing older DirectX, like 8.1 and not 9.0c. (that is if no of your games use 9.0c) (probably needs a reinstall of the system) If everything fails, best bet is to buy very cheap generic Realtek/3COM PCI NIC's.

    If we can patch/hack/port all DOS/W9x games onto modern systems, why would we run DOS/W9x in the first place? Why would the retro thing (1999 PC's and earlier) grow into popularity in the recent years? People have interest in running original hardware and original software.

    Well, when I had an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ back in 2015 , YouTube Flash player did work better on it.
  11. pangoomis
    http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/wiki/Opera Opera 12.02 is probably THE MOST modern browser you can run. YouTube works, because it's using the HTML5 player, which Opera 12.02 supports. YouTube DOES NOT have the flash player version any more, it was removed. Now, the flash player version did work better on slower machines. Since it was removed, people are not happy with the performance of the HTML5 player under Opera.

    PCI/XXXX is the HD Audio Bus/physical device. This is the only thing that 9x sees. HDAUDBUS/XXXX is the ID/virtual device generated by the HD Audio Bus, when the HD Audio Bus drivers is installed. (available from Win2000 onwards) Do not confuse HD Audio Bus driver with the HD Audio driver. I do not have the knowledge to know if the HDAUDBUS/XXXX is actually necessary for proper function of HD Audio, but it seems it is not required judging by the watler's driver. It's installed in the same way as the Win3.1 PC Speaker driver, which people was using back in the day in their 9x systems. The INF created by @deomsh does nothing more than copying the files and making the line in the system.ini file. @MERCURY127 did you load up the HDATSR.EXE file before installing/using the driver? Did DOS boxes work for you? (seems similar to the VBEMP bug) Do you use HIMEMX.EXE? I will test the driver myself soon.
  13. pangoomis
    Wow! Could this be the next major breakthrough in 98SE history?
  14. pangoomis
    I'm eager to test HD Audio! What's a 16-bits HDA driver? Does it have something to do with MPXPlay?
  15. pangoomis
    7800/7900 GTX is not available in AGP, I'm pretty certain @loblo talks about AGP cards.
  16. pangoomis
    I'm talking about these .386 files (example picture from the web): It seems like your card uses Texas Instruments ACX 111 (aka TNETW1130) chipset. https://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/texas instruments_tnetw1130_prod_bulletin.pdf This document says it supports WPA, AES and 802.11i draft (WPA2). Although I don't know if draft = support, but it seems to be working for you, so that's good I've found the proper drivers now, seems fully compatible with 98SE/ME/2000/XP. No Vista+ drivers I could found. Nice found, definitely will help some people.
  17. pangoomis
    For slow speeds, use TCPOptimizer 3, and apply the VIP.386 (and others in Device Manager where is the network card) patches, if they are available in your language. Nice site to test on, BTW What is the hardware ID of the WIFI card? I mean the VEN and DEV. I have an Atheros AR5005G in my IBM ThinkPad T40, and I use Odyssey for full WPA2 support on 98SE. I've looked at the drivers for your card, and found Atheros's hardware ID's. My hardware ID is: PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001A

    Does OP even has an AGP slot? We don't know. Best reasonable PCI card would be the GeForce FX 5200. I would not recommend the GeForce 6200 PCI. If OP has an AGP slot, I would recommend GeForce 4 Ti. Any model of that line.

    Win95 and Win98 uses the same VXD/miniport model of video drivers. They will work. M$ designed it that way. What is that GPU model?

    http://www.willsworks.net/downloads/msbkwin.lzh This modern tool works with .qic files, see if they work in the first place. Then it's just a matter of extracting the files you find valuable with this tool, no need for using old computers/OS/software. SSD PATA drives are so expensive! Best bet is to find a Samsung 20GB IDE drive, I had 80GB one, very reliable. Or grab a CompactFlash adapter.

    NVIDIA did actually made official 7xxx drivers, remember these?: https://web.archive.org/web/20070202110210/http://www.bfgtech.com/7800GS_256.html ATI never made driver for Xxxx, not even for any OEM. Unlike WDM, which 98SE shares with Win2K, in terms of Network/AC97 Audio/USB/HID drivers (missed any?), Win9x drivers are propietary, and were never used by any other system, period. If they don't exist, they DO NOT exist! Not even Russians can fix that.
  22. pangoomis
    Sadly, Radeon drivers end with the Xxxx models, the best one being X850 XT Platinum Edition. There are no known newer drivers than Catalyst 6.2. If you want the best Radeon for 98SE, get the X850 XT Platinum Edition, and strap a custom cooler on it for the core clocks you want. (or even liquid cooling) Or install W2K/XP. I love 98SE as well, but there are obstacles that will NEVER be fixed, It's sad, I know.
  23. pangoomis
    As seen on the official changelog: That's why plugins and INI file don't work anymore.
  24. pangoomis
    Well, that's not a pretty solution, but it works.
  25. pangoomis
    How can I open two copies of SYSDM.CPL to, for example, showcase both the General and Performance tab together?
