I posted about this multimedia player under the Software Hangout thread but I will make a quick mention of it here also ... it is also portable. I have not tried it yet but will probably try the portable version, but it lists Windows 9x  as of May 08, 2014. I am on XP these days so someone using Windows 98SE will have to verify what they say.

 

Additional: Not sure about this portable version ... have tried to download it twice and nothing seems to be in my download folder, not the complete download. I have never seen a portable ZIP download work like this before. The regular download seems to be OK ... just a heads up on the portable download ... I will not be fooling around with it anymore.

 

Daum PotPlayer 1.6.47450 Beta

 

http://codecpack.co/download/PotPlayer.html

 

System requirements: 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/8

 

PotPlayer is a fast and lightweight multimedia player that supports most popular audio and video formats and can be customized with more than 300 skins. Typically, PotPlayer runs smoothly and the CPU usage is kept to minimum. It can play HEVC, WMA, MP3, OGG, AIF, MPEG, VOB, AC3, DTS, ASX, PLS, WAX, ASF, WMA, WMV, AVI, MP4, SWF, MOV, QT, FLV and other formats. Additional features include high quality playback, built-in DXVA video codecs, subtitles support, live broadcasting, video capture, skins and just about everything else you`d expect from a multimedia player. If VideoLan or MPC-HC cannot play your video or sound file, give PotPlayer a try. It has built in support for most video and audio formats, and does not require any third party software whatsoever to work. Overall, PotPlayer is a must-have application for its ability to open just about any type of video file you throw at it. Daum PotPlayer is a continual work in progress – keep an eye out for new features as the developers continue to make PotPlayer the best media player available.

Daum PotPlayer 1.6.47450 Beta

 

http://codecpack.co/download/PotPlayer.html

 

Recent versions of PotPlayer are great but don't run on stock 98/ME.

 

Up to version 1.6.47358.0 it requires KernelEx and UPXing.

 

And the current version you mention doesn't run unless potplayer.dll is additionally edited because of a missing ordinal 727 dependency in Shell32.dll. Replacing that ordinal with one present in 98/ME shell32.dll allows it to run but it crashes on trying to use the playlist unfortunately.

was there a final version of potplayer for windows9x that didn't require kernelex?

[loblo]

Perhaps but the oldest version I can find (from 2010) requires KernelEx.

If there is one to be found it would be korean language only I guess.

Ditto could not find one older than 2010 http://www.digital-digest.com/software/PotPlayer_history.html

I prefer http://www.oldversion.com since it seems pretty IE5 friendly so if you don't quite have Windows 98 up to snuff, you can still download stuff easily without much guff, especially if you're looking to grab a version of Firefox right off the bat.

After posting earlier about Daum PotPlayer ... I did find a "portable" version to download that lists Windows 98 and not Windows 9x but it will probably be as loblo posted ... you will need KernelEx and UPXing ... I can't be 100% sure, no way to test it. It is an older version. The version I posted about yesterday (Daum PotPlayer v1.6.47450) doesn't seem to have a portable version.

 

I searched around and at the AfterDawn website they DO NOT mention Windows 98 or 9x as working with Daum PotPlayer v1.6.47450 but when you click on Daum PotPlayer (Portable) near the bottom of the page a different version will appear also mentioning Windows 98.
