Wow, I stand corrected. Is that an official bios they are using?

Z390 Dark does support WinXP. The Z390 DARK features 8 SATA Ports. 2 are supplied by the ASMedia ASM1061, which provides limited Windows XP support* for ultimate benching OS flexibility. Source : https://www.evga.com/articles/01296/evga-z390-dark-motherboard/ Fastest CPU it supports at the moment …
Re: Dual boot Win 98 / XP or select drives in Bios?
Posted on 2019-02-15, 14:43
Dual booting 98 and XP shouldn't be too hard. You won't need a third party bootloader for that. You just need to partition the hard drive Into two parts. Install Windows 98 onto your first partion. Format using FAT32 filesystem, don't use a partition size too much over 100 gig (look up the exact …

Did you ever finish this build? I was interesred in how you went, cause my fastest win98 machine also uses a ga-8i865gme-775-rh. With a geforce fx59 something.

Cool, I always liked change to the mixer with the MX300, but never used it because of the drivers.

Re: Compatibility of Win7/10/What games don't have fixes
Posted on 2016-10-08, 06:48
DXWnd and similar tools have certainly improved compatibility a lot, compared to say 10 years ago. You'll probably get most games "working" but perhaps not perfectly. To be honest I don't have a huge amount of experience getting Win95/Win98 games to work on Windows 10 because I still use a Windows …
Re: Radeon 9600 DVI giving me problems on modern monitor
Posted on 2016-09-24, 06:43
Thanks for the replies you two. I have got it working nicely now. Here's what I did - Boot up system with only the VGA cable plugged into the card. Set resolution to 1024x768, then shutdown. Unplug VGA cable, plug in DVI cable. Start systen back up. However I was fortunate to have a monitor with VGA …
Radeon 9600 DVI giving me problems on modern monitor
Posted on 2016-09-23, 07:10
I can't get my Radeon 9600 to work with a 144hz LCD monitor (BenQ XL2430T) over DVI. It works with the basic 640x480 16 color windows driver. I install ATi catalyst 3.7 then it prompts me to restart windows. As soon as it loads back into windows I see a split second of the desktop before the monitor …

Re: Building yet another Windows 98 SE Box
Posted on 2016-07-12, 18:56
Thanks for the fast reply. I will have to try them again at some stage. I never actually tried a SB Live together with the Vortex, though maybe I should have. On paper the Audigy looks better in almost every way, signal to noise ratio etc. But it looks like that's not the case with Windows 98 if the …
Re: Building yet another Windows 98 SE Box
Posted on 2016-07-12, 18:25
Nice build, you have similar hardware to what I used in my really fast windows 98 machine. Biggest problem I had was with the sound cards. I was trying to use a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 together with a Aureal Vortex 2 and had nothing but problems. I gave up and removed the sound blaster in the end. …
Re: Are old TV VGA card combos of any use
Posted on 2016-06-16, 08:18
I actually think the TV tuner part is the most useful. Because it could record obscure video game consoles or ancient computers that only output a modulated rf signal. With recent gear that's impossible without adding a separate VCR or demodulator in the chain. All the other features can be done …

Bit depth has nothing to do with this You learn something new every day :blush: Good that you got it sorted dada. Bad cables and switch boxes have been responsible for so much grief over the years.

Re: Screen/gfx card issue
Posted on 2016-03-27, 17:01
I'm not really an expert, but I've got a couple of things you could check. Is the resolution and refresh rate the same on the laptop and desktop? Pushing a higher resolution, bit depth and or refresh rate requires more bandwidth. The higher you go, the more the quality of cable and its shielding …

Normally to get redbook cd audio playing in win 98 through daemons tools you need WDM soundcard drivers installed.
Re: Alternative to _INMM.DLL for Windows 98?
Posted on 2016-03-27, 12:58
I don't know of any alternatives, ended up settling for Daemons tools 3.47. But you need a sound card with WDM drivers (not VXD) for the CD audio to work. It can be run from the command line. So you make a bat file to do the mount and launch of the game. Here's an example. Remember to change the …
Re: VGA In Memoriam
Posted on 2016-02-01, 05:11
I finally bought a new monitor yesterday after waiting and waiting for one with the perfect feature set. I came to the conclusion that if I waited much longer I would miss out on VGA altogether. I ended up settling for a BenQ XL2430T. Not a perfect feature set (no adaptive sync or g-sync) but has …
