Re: Req: Windows XP specific Games List?
Posted on 2020-10-20, 18:25
XP was released on 2001, so any game list from 2002 to 2007ish? The later the game, the more likely it is to run. I would say the XP games that were still likely compatible with Win98, probably from 2002-2005, are most likely to to have issues. But even some Windows vista games will still have …

I'd say almost all have issues to various extents. Try and find a winXP game on steam or gog where people aren't complaining it doesn't work on win10. In addition you will have wide-screen issues on most titles so a dedicated winXP box with a 19" lcd is the way to go.

I would go with gf4mx 128 bit. It is newest/fastest/coolest DX7 card. GF3 (DX8) is of course more powerful, but I think C3 is too weak CPU to show its strength. But don't the newer drivers required by gf4mx limit it's potential on older games? I have a couple of mx460s which are quite fast.in …

Agathosdaimon: For high-level Glide emulation to work, the game has to support the Glide emulation. Otherwise it can't work because it simply does not use the Glide functions. oh right - excuse my ignorance on this - i thought the game having 3DFx functionality means it can support glide emulation, …

I have finished Unreal which was the only reason for the savage4. Now i want something more powerful for games up to 99 but also excellent DOS support (via c3 system). I have on hand riva 128zx, tnt2s (not ultra), gf2s+quadros, gf3+quadros, gf2mx, gf4mx, some radeons. It will be combined with …

The Geforce FX5950 is the best late-win98 GPU hands down, taking compatibility into account. I would not waste time on FX cards below the FX5700 Ultra, or even the FX5900U, which aren't that expensive especially if you seek out the Quadro model.

I have the drivers for SB 2.0, but can't see any mixer utility - quite contrary, I've found this in README.TXT: "Please note that there is no Mixer control for Sound Blaster 2.0. Hence, the features available for controlling the volume will not be supported for SBSIM.COM." What happens when you …

Finished Unreal 1 boss battle. Not that hard once you jump up onto the circular platform giving her little space to teleport to. Now on to finish off Doom2, and after that I want to fire up Diablo1 for the first serious play since 1997(!!).

I have both Audigy 2 Platinum EX and X-Fi Elite pro and I find Audigy less problematic. X-Fi is prone to interference from (I think) more energy demanding video cards. I've tried in 4 systems and only one of them (oldest i3 + HD7850) has correct audio output. Other ones (especially i5+RX570) have …

Maybe best pci soundcard for win98. WinXP is better with xfi, and msdos is better with something with genuine opl3 etc.

Does anyone know if there is a driver for the "I38-SGNX01"? It does not appear in that big Aztech driver pack. I don't think there were any released by Aztech on their website This model is basically a clone of the Sound Blaster 2.0. You can try the NXII or BXII driver disks or even the Creative …
