Hasn't such machine PMMX an ISA slot? Why not use native SB or compatible and bother with SBEMU? Its for modern PCs without ISA...

Now I was wondering how easy it is to get the EXTERNAL midi device working on the Sb Live 5.1! I'd be happy too if I could connect my dreamblaster MIDI to my SB Audigy, via gameport header or other herader. But it would probably need some extra programming to setup the MPU UART. I don't know if it …

No, it cannot be moved to different partition size without changing specific values in bootsector image, you would have to boot DOS from other media, run sys command to create new bootsector on your new partition and then save it to file. Then repair NT bootsector from install media or via bootprep …

The only thing needed for NTOS dual booting is to save existing bootrecord from partition (DOS bootrecord, not MBR) to a file (there are various tools to do this), e.g. bootsect.w98 and then, after installing WinNT/2k/XP add one line to boot.ini: C:\bootsect.w98="Your old DOS name" if it was not …

Yes, I have found an article about AMD GPU that have DP 1.2 (HBR2) working under WinXP... Somewhere was noted that nvidia driver rely on some MS library from windows that is needed for HBR2 to work - this is present only in Win7 and newer. Do we know what files/system functions exactly are needed? …

Aha, ok, this is why I asked to have some rough guess if it happen within a second or hours/days... last years I run W98 only for short task so I didn't noticed anything weird...

OK, I tried to run it for ~8 minutes and it was still running so I stopped it. DOS window still could be opened. As I have to use VBEMP the window opening/redraw was slower so it might run less cycles than with accelerated SVGA driver, there's no counter...

What you mean by "force new Vmware PCI driver in device manager instead of original Vmware one"? Replacing a driver from your old installation? In my case it just installed driver from SoftGPU package instead std. VGA driver.

I would be OK with 3840x2160 33/41Hz if it is really approved to work. Still wouldn't possible to unlock HBR2 mode? One idea - let Linux initialize it via newer driver and then do some kind of soft-reboot/chainload to WinXP?

Thanks for the patch. I can confirm it works on intel Core i7-11850H 4,8GHz and Windows 98SE CZ under VirtualBox 7. Before the patch I couldn't even finish OS installation due to Explorer.exe crash during setup.

You probably need to use patcher9x . It seems with very recent CPUs that patch is mandatory for running a Win9x VM. Aha, thank you for pointing me the right direction. I didn't know about this patch yet (I quickly skipped to VM setup). I run Win98Se native on my Sandybridge i7 @4,5GHz and I didn't …
