It was an ancient chip from 1997 with DX5 hardware support. Most issues came from inadequate hardware rather than drivers. Of course they didn't support OpenGL AT ALL, so the OP was evaluating the Microsoft software driver.

I forgot to ask about kernelex, that's a good alternative. I think v9 would be good enough. I've just checked v16 and i don't see any options to configure the emulator itself in the GUI, i can only configure the VMs.

Okay thanks but AFAIK raw input required XP minimum and in win.c i see #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0501, it was added in that commit for international keyboards.

I want to compile PCem v8.1 to run on win98, v9 cannot be compiled at least due to raw input for keyboard. May be pthreads is a problem too. Is it possible? I don't know why official builds later that 0.41 don't run according to @ppgrainbow. I plan to follow this guide https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/ …

They don't work on old motherboards. Most PCI cards will do those are overkill.

I released ZDoom32 2.8.6a recently, the N executable runs on 98 but without the OpenGL renderer. I think ZDoom LE 2.8.3a ran on 98 with GL, 2.8.1f was for 95 and software only.

Thanks @evasive, seems it's fixed now. But i still can't download a file without extension (Hippo DCA1 AMI BIOS). It says not found but it has a size. It's actually the same 404.17 error. https://www.elhvb.com/mobokive/archive/Octek/ … A1%20AMI%20BIOS

Very interesting reviews about the pentium, 486, chipsets and VLB cards. I didn't know that page. There are few entries but they are good. Since the search is broken i don't know if it has been mentioned already. https://dependency-injection.com/

Most likely the card is running on interlaced mode, either use a lower resolution or change the jumper. Get the specs of the chip or for the 9400Cxi and see the resolution you're trying to use. Edit: There are no jumper settings for the reference card in that sheet linked above but 800x600 sould run …

May be a silly question but was there a PCem version that ran on Win98? Or at least be compiled to run on it? I know DosBox runs on 98 so it makes some sense.

It's the same but one has the GL renderer and it's in a branch inside the gzdoom repo. I recently moved ZDoom32 to another repo but i dropped ZDoom LE. The refresh rate works the same as in ZDoom. https://github.com/drfrag666/gzdoom/commits/gzdoomle

I've joined the discord and computerguy08 is using the ASUS bios. I've downloaded the HP bios from somewhere but i don't think it's worth comparing. I'll ask my associate he's a electronic technician i'm just a computer one.

If it's not that connector then must be the extra cable of the PSU leading to some sensor, anyway flashing the bios most likely will fix it. I'll give the board to my associate (he has a programmer) but most likely he will keep it.

The symptoms are pretty much the same as when a board doesn't boot due to a dead battery, this happened on some old pentium boards. If i had a programmer i could try to flash the ASUS bios, there's something fishy about that fan sensor.

It starts when i press the power button but then it hangs. I need to keep it pressed to turn it off. Either the case button or a switch with a cable on a cardboard box outside. It's a crappy PSU but it powered another K6-2 (500 MHz too) and i had an athlon xp with the same case model and a similar …
