Re: you perfer a daul-boot for Win 98/XP build or 2 seperate builds for the best of both worlds
Posted on 2025-04-23, 14:33
Due to hardware issues I’ve ended up separating win 98 and having an additional win xp/7 machine means I can have a more robust xp instead of have to deal with 98/xp

I just came across something when I looked up lan parties in my area there’s a gaming bus you can hire tho it’s all modern crap tho the setup could be a good laugh …

Not to poopoo your idea unlike in Asia where it’s the norm for pc bang cafes, i can’t quite see the demand for win98 era cafe and get enough money out of it to fund your hobby. I would say setup a few of your systems for yourself and a server or two as an online lobby for connected win98 enthusiasts …

Tbh I’ve had this games for decades and I’m pretty sure I’ve never played it until last week as to test my new win98 rig. I’ve got it up and running nicely getting used to the controls still beginning kinda confusing getting weapons and armor and health and paranoid about the jump scare.
Re: Dell dimension 3000 finally working!
Posted on 2025-02-03, 09:23
Either f8 at boot up or restart from win98 Also I disabled legacy sound in bios so I could install audigy 2zs drivers without conflict. Reading up on things I think part of my problem is that my cd/dvd drive is assigned E: and I’m unable to force it to D: as the second hdd is locked to it

Re: Your idea of the perfect game

I quite like games that have consequence's for your actions like in might and magic and Baldur’s gate and elder scrolls having a reputation affect gameplay. Games also used to be basement businesses with their particular humour and art styles.
