Drugwash Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Oh, please forgive my Swiss (as in swiss-cheese) memory, Gape. Was just trying to help.Thing is, my system has a lot of ME, 2000, XP, 2003 files - whatever makes it roll without hiccups. Dunno if anyone (MS especially) would care anymore. As much as we strive, we 9x users are a dying breed anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galahs Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think including a USB driver like NUSB 3.3 would make your Service Pack complete.- Official and Unofficial Win98SE updates / fixes- Native USB Storage Device Support- Copy files larger than 2GB- Use Hard Disks Bigger than 137GBIt would be the ultimate and only patch 90% of Win98 users would need.I'm all for you including NUSB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurgathor Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I disagree with the 'kitchensink' approach. While many people may end up installing both, I think NUSB is a different product, and it should be handled accordingly. Makes testing and maintenance simpler, methinks.

galahs Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I don't want everything added, but I really do think USB support would go along way towards making 98SESP the ultimate update and provides a feature most people would add anyway. It also makes it a simple option for Win98SE noobs. One patch that basically does the lot.I wouldn't recommend adding too many other updates. But this one I think is highly beneficial. Even make it option on installation of the Service Pack.I would love to hear what other think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwire Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) MD makes a great patch, there is no need for Gape to duplicate his work. Installing the NUSB patch seperately is not hard at all for the user to do. I think Gape should stick to OS only updates. If you want a patch that includes everything, there is already the 9x autopatcher by sophorificEDIT: I almost forgot, Gape has a strict no windows ME policy. There are a lot of files that are from windows ME in NUSB. Edited March 30, 2008 by blackwire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

galahs Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Agree. Gapes Service pack in comparison is lean and mean. USB support would just give it a crucial feature that I'd assume most users would appreciate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aloha Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 Test results:* Freshly installed Win98 SE: OK.* Freshly installed Win98 SE and IE 6.0 SP1: OK.* Freshly installed Win98 SE, IE 6.0 SP1 and UberSkin: OK. I have Win98 SE, IE 6.0 SP1, and a mixture of RP7 and Renovatio. I hope it will be OK too. Ah, do I need to uninstall the previous pack, 98 SE SP 3.0 beta 1 before installing the new one?Thanks for upgrading your pack, Gape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Since I've installed some updates before this pack, there were some newer files recommended to be kept; they are dispex.dll, jscript.dll, scrobj.dll, scrrun.dll, vbscript.dll, wshext.dll, and wshom.ocx. Hopefully I typed them correctly! I don't know why this pack is not on the list of Add/Remove. And I also have to reinstall KernelEx033b so that the Calculator works proper again. That's all. No more serious problems to tell now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
