Kikketer Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 So I installed Mindows98 and love it.But I would like to use a gamepad with it, is there a way to get the "Game Devices" installed?My goal is to get a couple of Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro (gameport) pads running. So I won't need USB.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 You need to add the appropriate INF files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscardog Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 (edited) http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/4834/screenshotmn7.jpgQemu is handy for testing and adding to mindows/mini98s if your cpu is capable,my 366,96mb manages just., You will probably need directx for your gameport pads from the infs mentioned. Filemon and monitoring your reg/file additions/changes using snapshots as you add the card in a normal 98 install or changing your setup directory as windows looks for plug and play then taking a snapshot of your card install can also help.Above image for my car mp3 player pc booting from a 10meg rar via grubfordos not fully minimized,created in qemu.Good luckonce you have your system the way you want, boot from the system normally to bypass any emulation foibles.

nicke85 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hi oscardog!Is that sound support in Mindows98 on your pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscardog Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Hi oscardog!Is that sound support in Mindows98 on your pic?Yes it a minimal win98 with a soundblaster pci 128 installed, unfortunately the soundblasters Eapci4m.ecw file uses up a quarter of the install size and the control panel extensions plus others have not been deleted yet , I might drop down to the 2 meg ecw and I should hopefully be nearer 15 mb total size. Interestingly after adding a couple of files I was able to get vlc running to play videos. But i would need some graphics drivers to do it justice, and it is intended for my car so I will perhaps give it a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-66 Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 You need to add the appropriate INF files.How do you determine which INF files you need for the specific things you'd like to add to the 'base' Mindows installation? I never though I'd say this, but the base Mindows install is too barebones for me, and I don't know how to add the things I'd like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LLXX Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 The INF files usually have a description as to what hardware they support in the first few lines or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
