  1. Hi guys, I'm starting to install games on the machine I just built running W2K with all suggested updates/service packs.

     

    I need some suggestions for controllers to play games. I heard whispers of people getting the Xbox 360 PC controller to function, but I couldn't find conclusive information.

     

    I would LOVE an Xbox 360 gamepad, but I am more than happy to use anything that works well. Wireless possibly?

     

    The game I am targeting is Halo: Combat Evolved.  I figured someone around these parts would have experience in this area.

  2. Pentium D 960 3.6GHz installed from Pentium 4 HT 3.8GHz... Had to go with the 130W TDP part because I couldn't find the 95w TDP part. Fret not, as I have purchased and installed a heat sink to address this that can handle 150W TDP AND doesn't require removal of mobo. That's done and I am typing this from this machine.

     

    New RAM installed. Highest speed mobo can take.

     

    Everything migrated to 60GB MSATA Samsung SSD.

     

    Everything appears to be in order hardware wise here, and I don't plan on opening her back up for awhile.

     

     

    I'm still trying to figure the Java thing out, I'm just having difficulty understanding what I'm being suggested to do. Thanks.

  3. Using google translate, I translated the contents of BlackWingCat's blog to:

    How to use without installing the Java 8 Update 40
    "Java 8 Update 40" public, regular outside of updates -INTERNET Watch
    Java 8 Update 40 came.

    And it does not also not put in XP or Windows 2000, but it is a little time and effort to take out the MSI.

    So, we'll show you how to use it without installing directly.

    Java download for all operating system
    Download site of the Japanese will go to English site because it does not use

    Java SE Runtime Environment 8 - Downloads

    jre
    Download the jre-8u40-windows-i586.tar.gz,% PROGRAMFILES% \ Unzip the Java \ jre8 etc.

    Then open the Control Panel, such as Java 6 and 7

    jre1
    From the run-time version, choose Add.

    jre2
    Found.
    Choose to complete

    jre3
    I was able to successfully added.

    If you want to start the JAR is, in the case of CUI-based bin \ java.exe -jar [jarfile] .jar
    In the case of GUI-based bin \ javaw.exe -jar [jarfile] .jar

    In even to start it is OK · ω ·

  4. CPU is getting changed from a 3.8 GHz P4 Hyperthreaded 672 115W TDP --> 3.6 GHz Pentium D 960 SL9K7 95W TDP.  My reasoning for this change was that a stock intel 775 cooler was unable to handle the thermal load. I/O plate is deadly hot to the touch, so the computer is off for now until I make the changes.  There are two Pentium D 960 types... The earlier was 130W (Ouch!) and the later revision before stepping into the Core 2 Duo was 95W.

     

    It's interesting to note that although Windows 2000 doesn't natively support hyperthreading, (Windows XP was first consumer OS to support HT tech.) it still picks up the extra thread and shows it as a second CPU in the performance monitor.  I haven't noticed any system instability because of this aside from my thermal throttling from using a dinky 775 cooler. There are different stock 775 coolers from Intel, and the one that came with my board must have been paired with a lower power P4. That 115W TDP is nothing to sneeze at.  I expect the second core of the Pentium D to be recognized as a second CPU in Windows 2000 professional.

    ...On the software side, most programs are working, including Adobe Flash. I had to get DirectX 9 installed before getting flash to work.

    I still cannot get Java to work.  I have updated to the latest rollup release from November 2014. What version of java are you using?
