Could be a really nice idea! makes it easier, my solution for now is a fat wire between 3.3V from PSU to the closest capacitor, whilst also massively increasing the capacity of it + adding a big fat ceramic cap inbetween :) https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/784081115505229837/ …

To be fair, this is an emulator support forum. People who insist on running their games on 'old junk' are not really supposed to be here. What the hell, though? Why offer Marvin and have it grow so much if it's unwanted here? That's kind of the problem. VOGONS even when it comes to talking about …

Gratefully, people here at Vogons are generally not like that. I'm not sure I agree with this. There are a fair few hostile people and gatekeeping is definitely a problem here, too.

Yes, the reference ISO contains a literal copy of Windows 98, so I did not want to link it directly. I had hoped it was vague enough 😜 I edited the post to only link to the framework to create one yourself. (sometimes I wish this place wasn't so uptight 😐)

So this will take an active install of 98SE and package it into an installer CD image? Couldn't you literally copy the entire folder structure of 98 to a new drive and everything will work as before, MBR not withstanding? This also can't be an actual 98 install on a HDD, it's a new virtual …

Make sure you are running the board in FSB66 mode. 100 Will only run stable if the stars align, as the board has piss-poor power delivery. Also, measuring resistance on powered-on equipment is a big NO-NO!

It's not a critical capacitor, pretty much any value will work there (or leave it out). It's very probably a 10 or 100µF / 25V.

It does POST now but even forced to 512k by forcing A16 to Gnd I cannot get it to detect cache Very fishy

Hi, I transplanted 1MB cache chip to my GA-5AX. Do you have any info on your mod yet? I would like to get it working, but no POST so far 😀 Best regards Eric
