There board with PS 2 mouse and keyboard support on 1 PS/2 port, but you need to have in BIOS explicit PS/2 Y cable support or something like that.

On other computer is was Anvir taskmanager free root cause of periodical freeze (could be measured throught Fraps loggin into txt file)

Its working, no paid patches needed, it just working, emulated HW is most common, issues could be some videomode support, i didnt tested it so much, but Unraid / KVM i thing have sometimes some issues with bad videomodes detection and adjustment, but this not nothing unfixable by further QEMU or Unraids updates. I didnt any performace test, but seems quicker that physical machines with ancient drivers for some tasks.. Some Video:

On board and if you ask me, its piece of ... but i needed second no intel controller because is nice to have second controller and Paragon GPT driver for XP is not working with Intel controllers..

Now there are three Hard Disk Controllers. In the bios are only 2 controllers, no addition card, so its virtual, or its IDE to Sata adapter on cable (if it is even theoretically possible). I wrote its Geforce 970 with 4 GB of VRAM, but with VBE is running fine, some glitches during installation and in safe mode but for compatibility test and 2D gaming it was fine. That wasnt me, its first time when we disscuss it, i dont know anything about it.. I have this file in Windows folder, but not i autoexec or config, if is not executed by other thing secondarily.. Its not in config.sys, there is only Himem.sys Im using Himem.exe, make it still sense for it? Explain this boot write error?

Retested its, same.

Its just text mode coloring used it USB boot flash config, i like it, menucolor parameter, if my memory is ok..

Well - my machine still hang at shutdown, i dunno i if is Nvidia related (maybe i dont have proper component in device manager for atx shutdown, but reset is working), that one thing. There are lots of version of shutdown patch in this thread, so perhaps i expected that new version coud be better. Im not missed some note there is nothing about version of patch in your Nvsize patch.. Last thing is error message, this are exactly things which i hate, to be honest, not proper error exception handling, stone age programming, i should got patch already applied or similar message.. Its same like command line utility without any echo, if is successful..

We did, Conroe is now fully working with AHCIBIOS patch - no freezes (problem was in task manager replacement too), SSD transfer rates are at SATA I maximum (130 MB/s), audio is working, Geforce 6600 GT is working, Intel 1 GB NIC is working, audio is ok, Command.com is working, shutdown is working, even DVD Write on Sata port is in device manager (not tested, but it looks fine) So everything for gaming is there. There two cosmetic details, but there but only first is really annoying (because i cant connect to machine through remote deskop / vnc or teamviewer or similar tool with it after machine starts..) 1) Right after start im getting blue screen some VXD error, i have to pres enter after it everything is fine. I wonder if it could be traced to source only with help this manage, this right before users login. It could be patches related, i also removed Magic ISO CD and installed VirtualCD Drive and finally used nusb3.5 Translation On address XXX in VXD VDD(09)... happens major exception 00. Running application would be ended. Press some key.. 2) There still exclamation mark on some controller - error is no IRQ and its probably no device. I have tried, NOINT parameter for AHCIBIOS no change. Once one man said there are not big victories only small people, which feels too important.. but im happy. Thanks for help to everybody. AMD970 would be harder nut to crack, but i finally i one Windows 98 tower is not useless pipe of old hardware..

Hello, im using last version of patch and Rloew Nvsize patched 82.69 and when im trying to apply patch, im getting error: There is not enough space to apply patch. Is there some solution?

Because its you :), i did it on https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-Z170M-D3H-rev-10#ov UEFI / BIOS adjustments (sad is that no IDE mode at bios at all), its my NAS so i dont want to mess with it. FIve 4 disk + dvd rom here. Started from USB Windows 98 installed, all HDDs are NTFS, USB is FAT32. Pure hang on, no message. I have also tried Q170T boards, its all the same, same test, again no IDE at all.

Ok here is new SCANPCI log, both controllers should be in IDE mode, when is storage connected to asmedia controller: 1) Normal boot - C: write errors 2) I cant even boot in safe mode Scanpci: 0 0 0: 8086:0c00 1849:0c00 0600 00 06 0 1 0: 8086:0c01 0000:0000 0604 00 06 0 1 1: 8086:0c05 0000:0000 0604 00 06 0 1 2: 8086:0c09 0000:0000 0604 00 06 0 22 0: 8086:8cba 1849:8cba 0780 00 00 0 25 0: 8086:15a1 1849:15a1 0200 00 00 0 26 0: 8086:8cad 1849:8cad 0c03 20 00 0 27 0: 8086:8ca0 1849:1151 0403 00 00 0 28 0: 8086:8c90 0000:0000 0604 00 d0 0 28 3: 8086:8c96 0000:0000 0604 00 d0 0 28 6: 8086:8c9c 0000:0000 0604 00 d0 0 29 0: 8086:8ca6 1849:8ca6 0c03 20 00 0 31 0: 8086:8cc4 1849:8cc4 0601 00 00 0 31 2: 8086:8c80 1849:8c80 0101 8f 00 0 31 3: 8086:8ca2 1849:8ca2 0c05 00 00 0 31 5: 8086:8c88 1849:8c88 0101 85 00 1 0 0: 10de:13c2 1462:3160 0300 00 a1 1 0 1: 10de:0fbb 1462:3160 0403 00 a1 3 0 0: 1b21:1242 1b21:1242 0c03 30 00 5 0 0: 1b21:0611 1849:0611 0101 85 02 6 0 0: 1b21:1142 1849:1142 0c03 30 00 Bootlog safe mode: [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = V86MMGR [000C9C63] SYSCRITINIT = VFAT [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = VFAT [000C9C63] SYSCRITINIT = VDEF [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = VDEF [000C9C63] SYSCRITINIT = UDF [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = UDF [000C9C63] SYSCRITINIT = IFSMGR [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = IFSMGR [000C9C63] SYSCRITINIT = VFBACKUP [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = VFBACKUP [000C9C63] SYSCRITINIT = SHELL [000C9C63] SYSCRITINITSUCCESS = SHELL Bootlog normal boot: // Nothing its whole file: [000C96E7] Loading Device = C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.EXE (Logo disabled) [000C96E7] LoadSuccess = C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.EXE [000C96E7] Loading Device = C:\WINDOWS\ASPI2HLP.SYS [000C96E7] LoadFailed = C:\WINDOWS\ASPI2HLP.SYS [000C96E7] Loading Device = C:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS [000C96E7] LoadSuccess = C:\WINDOWS\DBLBUFF.SYS [000C96E7] Loading Device = C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS [000C96E7] LoadSuccess = C:\WINDOWS\IFSHLP.SYS

Few clarification to Conroe fixing, i dont have today enough time for AMD970, this i hope would be quicker. 1) So if understand it right, have to for installation (i want to apply this to existing installation ) start with IDE mode, i cant do whole process with BIOS - AHCI settings? Im right. Problem is that is not posssible when i switch my board to IDE mode, my SATA disc is not even detected, so to do whole process in AHCI mode, i already wrote that. In safe mode i now see only ATA0106, but not SATA controller. Do you mean switch where in the BIOS, or by adding AHCIBIOS to autoexec, or how exactly?

And its really problem some controller in AHCI mode, when is not used for boot device, should it ends in same error.. Im quite sure that i have tried even both controller in IDE mode and it ended in same error, but i can test it once more, just to be sure.

I still dont have 1 machine where are patches really working, or should i have to buy for licences just to find out such machine? I trying to use only Sata patch on multiple machines. From my point of view, your patches have lots of catches and too many notes and ancient development philosophy, but there is not real alternative, so im trying it. We could communicate through email, but i see that your here quite often and i think that this info could help other people to make patches working, there are info, which you cant find in manuals even when you will analyse them under microscope, i read manuals for all products, but some info wasnt so clear to me.. there lots other note, which could maybe help passages for taste.. Your patches has some history of fixing problem, i thing that i simply hit other unexpected problem and you could everytime say that was bad customer..

Three possibilities, on board are two controllers: 1) it could be second controller used for non boot device.. 2) Is there even if it in IDE mode in the Bios 3) The Picture or log made in situation when i used Intel controller in IDE mode for boot device and Asmedia controller in AHCI mode, it booted fine with that configuration. I dont know to which information you are referring.. so its hard to say, but probably its point 3, or could you say if AHCI mode Intel or Asmedia controller? Diablo 1 was best, D2 had best combat systems, but too many colors, black paladin guy with thorns spell.. jungle and desert is wasnt same game, not dark enough. Diablo III is just copy paste business. Diablo is nice crawler like old Arcade games only in isometric view, i can stand when someone saying its rpg.. I even once wrote something about it and someone even translated it: http://www.gamasutra.com/blogs/edit/blog/item/219412/index.php

Clean installation: I changed videocard for moment for overcome that command.com black screen bug when is command.com executed on MSI Geforce 7950GT, its failing even with native VGA driver and its not possible boot with VBE with this card, i dont know if it is MSI problem, or Geforce 7xxx problem, but its annoying even on Geforce 220 or 970 is VBE and command.com running fine.. Something on this card is wrong and i have two of them. Maybe command.com is not needed and later discovered that is possilble to extract USP3 by 7zip and execute setup file manually. But important is that USP3 is not a solution, still not detection at al and i have installed all components what could be related to HW detection.. and see 2 most likely reason: 1) Simply there is on more component which needs to be added except PCI bus device to detect something. 2) There is still thing which needs to be done, for make computer able to detect HW which is failing on X99, but was executed properly on AMD970 system. --------------- Migrated installation: - after migration, there was USB device detection process, USB devices were recognized, but arent in device tree.. I removed all USB controllers, installed nUSB3.5 but im not able to redetect USB hubs and devices, same without nUSB.. USB controllers - Intel and VIA has resources problems, i dont know if could be fixed - there is that BIOS not give devices IRQ or not free IRQ available (pleas disable some device to free it). Could it be fixed? Controllers are on IRQ4. What is important except USB its working, shame is that i dont have any compatible PCI-E NIC for test network or PCI-E to PCI adapter to test PCI NIC and Audio card - both are on the way from Asia..

I only want to clarify that fix it by replacing GPU for moment is working, i used more modern GPU, installed VBE and command.com was working..

Update: - it wasnt Bios thing - infs not helped detection too - so use existing installation was best thing which i could to do, otherwise i would simply say that this board is no go What is else on existing installation, it could be USP3 or something else. I have tried to install USP3, but i cant because of USP3 is using command.com and it means - black screen on my Geforce 7950GT, i have to try other GPU..

Other possible evil driver which is on all non working machine with the patch ASMEDIA SATA driver? Do use someone it with patch and do have actually some device connected on it? I would be first thing which would be problematic with this controller..

I wrote that i tried it, before i will continue to use proper installation.. It was worth of try and was right it proved that it can somehow work. This machines is just for have to some between between suffering to make other machines to work with you patches, im sick of it and i not gave up. but feel that i should now return you something acidic and write something about quality of your patches, but i will almost silent for now, i invested quite time to proof that clean system is not solution for lots of problems and patches use had lots of catches and hooks.. and its not about other cheap arguments like bad memory, bad storage etc..

Ok, thanks. One card but its typical even on other boards, during installation is added Standart VGA adapter and after is detected PCI Graphics Adapter - first device could be removed. Few minutes ago, its starting to detected devices.. But analysis why would be complicated for know.. I just migrated some storages (SATA II SSD for other experiments finally arrived ) so i just for fun tried boot AMD970 install on X99 and its detecting new hardware new.. I have new BIOS, because i have still 9xx MB RAM in all available OS i have received some beta Bios which had to fix it, it didnt but other this changed too. I have copied LoneCrusaders inf files.. and got detection right after boot.. I will try my "proper " debugging 8GB SD card storage with clean install to verify where was a difference later.. Update: I even Geforce 7950GT finally started working, just detected and its running at least for 1st reboot..

I will write long post later, meanwhile im getting better and better i Windows 98 drivers ring of suffering.. Justt 1 important note AMD970 im not able to boot with into normal mode with both memory patches (paid and Rayer) when is Intel 1000S MT Desktop adaper installed, even with Split8MB patch, im geeting System protection errors, or NIC or NIC protocol related errors in bootlog or ESDI related crash. I have all some strange 2D mouse freezes when im messing with NIC, so maybe time to do something with INT, otherwise i can say and RamPatch and Split8MB are not working how they suppose to.. I bought RAm patch because of GB NIC and never were able to boot with it inside - did minimally 3 clean installs, other OSes are still fine..

Common man not be soft, second round of suffering .. when you trying to make all working with Rloew patches and its still not working is even better!

I checked SIV->Graphics report, i could be problem, that there are not listed 1 and 4 bit modes? So no 2 and 16 color mode in the driver? I dont understand, how is text modes embedded into normal VGA mode (if all data are rendered as graphical standard VGA mode), but if its something like Picture in Picture (in games we are name it embeded viewport - 2 rendering areas in 1 view) - this could be why its not working. I found info in SIV by accident.. On system were is working table looks like this(picture) and on systems were is not working are no check on 1 a 4 bit column.. What exactly and i need to add into system.cb for that?
