Well, I've only found sound and graphics Drivers on that laptop, unfortunately no Ethernet or Chipset Drivers, I think I should wait for someone in my country to put on sale a T42 with a Radeon 9600 video card

That was a close one! It tries to launch Minecraft, but crashes anyway... It seems like that it's now impossible to run MC with mesa, but if it actually is possible then there's something wrong with my laptop or Win 98 installation... In case my installation is in fact fine then I'm gonna move to another laptop I have, a Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V3515, even though I don't know if it comes with Win 98 Drivers too, by the way, I tested it with XP and it runs up to 1.12.2 without mesa

I ran the batch file from Mintty, got the access denied error anyway... Should I give up?

Putting the command line of the launcher copied from ProcessExplorer into a batch file

I tried, it tells me "access denied"

Unless I'm looking in the wrong place? I tried looking into launcher_profiles.json, but still nothing

I can't seem to find the name of the executable, Is it a jar file you're talking about? Because there are no EXE files listed in my .minecraft folder

Do you mean that I should use a command from the MS-DOS prompt or something? If so, which one?

You know that you need a launcher to play Minecraft, right?

By "custom installer" I mean that I've installed Java using the installer on TheMiningTeam's Google Drive Folder, even tho I've reinstalled Java about three times, and I'm only using TL Legacy now, even tho I want to use mesa because It would allow me to play modern Minecraft, if mesa wouldn't solve the issue, then I'm forced to buy a better laptop still compatibile with win 98, which is really hard to find unfortunately, and I don't even feel like doing that

I Installed Windows 98 with KernelEx, Patches, and different runtimes along with Chipset, Ethernet, Sound and Video Drivers, I've installed Java 8u181 with a custom installer and then started three different Minecraft launchers, ATLauncher, TL Legacy and then OLauncher. When using mesa, I can only run versions from c0.30_01 to release 1.2.5, while without it, I can run every version up to 1.7.2, all launchers give me the same error when using mesa, and everytime I remove lwjgl64.dll, it reappears in the natives folder whenever I try to launch the game

If you mean partition, it's a single one, by the way though, i can't find a lwjgl32.dll 2.9.4 file anywhere online or in my other PCs, can you send me one?

But it's a 32-bit machine I'm using...

Update: I've tried the JVM arguments used by SalC1 in his Minecraft on Win 98 video once again and now I get an error on lwjgl64.dll failing to load 64 bit library, maybe there's some hope?

Well, I hoped I could have made it work with mesa because it is way faster with it (if using modern versions of it), but I guess I should ask someone like DosFreak if I want to run modern versions of Minecraft with mesa, If I recall correctly he has done lots of things with that renderer, even tho i'm fine as long as I can run up to at least 1.8.9... or even better... 1.12.2

Oh, 1.16.5, but It was really slow since that I used an old version of mesa, but that was back when the old launcher was still supported

JRE 8u181, the one I asked help for

Well, that's unfortunate, also because like I said before I was able to use mesa with modern Minecraft versions before the old launcher was discontinued, and that probably destroyed the way mesa works with MC on 98SE, maybe the other way is to find a workaround to make Java 17 work on my system, even tho that sounds exaggerated, I still want to try doing that

Whoops, I forgot to specify that you can find those files on the Google Drive folder

They are on the video's description, you can find Firefox (I use Mypal tho), Java, KernelEx, and ATLauncher (not the launcher I use) if you want the launcher I'm using, you can find it on tlaun.ch/jar

You can find the instructions on this video, except that you need a powerful PC/Laptop (my laptop is a ThinkPad T42, but unfortunately It comes with a Radeon 7500 video card instead of a 9600 one since that I can't find one of those models for sale in my country), because of that I can only run up to 1.7.2 without mesa, even tho I somehow managed to make 1.13.2 work once without mesa, but it no longer runs now, It was very laggy without it by the way

I see, so... Does that mean It might be impossible to make Minecraft work with mesa at the moment? Or did I miss something? Because I remember being able to use mesa with Minecraft 1.3+ on the old now-unsupported official launcher

I added missing arguments to kernelex, and it didn't work, downgraded the file and still doesn't work, the only solution Is to edit the file with a hex editor, but I don't know what to touch first, can you help me with that?
