RetroOS Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Just a backup in case the main list I constantly edit becomes corrupt. Hey galahs, why don't you just keep your edit text in two local text files and update those.Just edit your first two posts and copy all text to the local file.Then you can edit it offline and just copy and paste it into the edit windows!Might be worth a go...
galahs Posted November 4, 2007 Author Posted November 4, 2007 Yeah not a bad idea.I'm actually going to modify the lists completely so I thought I'd do an online backup before the major change.
Drugwash Posted November 4, 2007 Posted November 4, 2007 Dunno if I'll find the time to add useful apps to the list, however I'd like to mention that there are certain applications that do not work (at all, or work with limitations/errors/crashes/etc.) on a vanilla Win98SE, but they do work after system upgrades, provided by (un)official patches/packages; most important of them being KernelEx, which for example, allows me to run KMPlayer (which would otherwise throw a C++ error message box) and allows the use of Media library in QMP beta119.Considering this, it may be a good idea to compile a list of applications and their versions that would run on such a fully patched system, together with the required upgrades for each of them. That would be hard work, I know, but it has already been requested so many times in the KernelEx thread and I thought it might be the right time to start building such information now.OK, to contribute a little to this thread, I'll add a few apps that I use and think are noteworthy:- ONGD - SHAR - Total Commander --> http://www.ghisler.com- ONGD - FREE - SlimBrowser --> http://www.flashpeak.com/sbrowser/- LAST - FREE - JWPce 1.50 --> http://www.physics.ucla.edu/~grosenth/jwpce.html- ONGD - FREE/$$$$ - BSPlayer 2.x (Pro) --> http://www.bsplayer.com/en/bs.player/home/
galahs Posted November 5, 2007 Author Posted November 5, 2007 To save confusion, a list of software that works after installing the KernelEX upgrade should be listed on the first page of the KernelEX thread.
Drugwash Posted November 5, 2007 Posted November 5, 2007 I wasn't only referring to KernelEx, but to other system upgrades, such as RichEdit, gdi.exe/gdi32.dll, user.exe/user32.dll, msvcp71.dll/msvcr71.dll (VC2003 runtime), msvcp80.dll/msvcr80.dll (VC2005 runtime that needs installation; doesn't work by only copying those 2 dlls to the %system% folder) and similar. Heck, some applications may not work (correctly) even if gdiplus.dll is missing. Not to mention others that depend on unicows.dll...
RetroOS Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 Now that's what I call a readable list! I really like your rearrangement!There are a few errors or changes needed in the list (in red bold italics) though...I've changed some of the URLs (that I posted earlier) for some $$$$ software since they are not really applicable to that version...(I've trimmed the lines to reduce space so don't copy the whole line.
