June 27, 200719 yr Looks like from this article that it's theoretically possible but really difficult to run DirecX 10 on the Windows XP: http://www.beyond3d.com/content/articles/55You may simply forget about Win98.
June 28, 200719 yr You may simply forget about Win98.W98 doesn't have a real 'kernelmode'. All programs have direct access to all hardware. So as far as I can see it's easier to port DX10 to W98 than to port it to XP.
June 28, 200719 yr That is very true. But u would have to change the whole structure so it wouldn't be a port. It would be more - a rewritting and adjusting.
June 28, 200719 yr I can't believe that would be possible. The technology is very old, I know retro stuff is great and I'm one to go along with that but the new stuff is better when you really sit down and think about it.I would love to see it working though, would be interesting..

I know retro stuff is great and I'm one to go along with that but the new stuff is better when you really sit down and think about it.I would love to see it working though, would be interesting..I dont think you can class 98 as retro just yet.The technology is very oldSo is that the old reason you can give for this not working? How very lame.Can you enlighten me by giving a proper reason?RT. Edited June 29, 200719 yr by RedTrac
June 29, 200719 yr like I said, It would be interesting to see that working.And Windows 98 is old, I think it is anyway.. You disagree and that's a fair point from you..
June 29, 200719 yr Windows 98 is old only because MS has discontinued development of this OS... but with a patient restructuration all is possible.Some examples are Revolutions Pack Lite and 98SE2ME... and also KernelEx. Edited June 29, 200719 yr by Max_04
