I recommed emulation to anyone that just wants to play a game, but emulation just isn't as cool or nice as the real thing its also not even very intresting.

Theres not a market for that kind of implemention. For various reasons. not only would it probably not work, but just about any motherboard thats too new to have a PCI slot wouldnt be good for 9x gaming. Considering any board without a AGP slot is pretty aweful choice for 9x gaming anyways. These …

it's a intel chipset so it just use INFINST drivers "which are not actually drivers they are a configuration" just like every other intel motherboard.

Don't go for a GPU higher than a FX series with older drivers 4x.xx series with win 98. All you will find are headaches. I've been down this rabbit hole a couple times. However there is always glide wrappers. I would plan on being ready that youll need glide wrappers to run a lot of 98 games …

CT mouse is nice becasue its small, it's not without bugs and its not completly compatible, with all games and setup programs. I've had it bug out on me so many times I stick to the MS/IBM mouse.com

probably doesn't like the Hard drive. You should try patching it with rloew Terabyte plus patch. that should fix it. becasue thats probably related to not only the size, but they way you partitioned and formated it, windows 98 is very picky about that and its related to the OS doesn't understand LBA …

I believe its the original floppy version is IRQ 7 Drivers for the SB Pro are not going to help you here, Prince of Persia uses its own internal driver to communicate with your cards. Except for a very few games, you do not need to install the drivers for the SB Pro in DOS, although the mixer …

TO clarify somthing about prince of persia. That game uses IRQ 7 not 5 and I don't think you can change that. Just felt like I needed to repeat myself. So ya IRQ 5 isnt going to work for that game. You might find a lot of guides out there of people saying oh IRQ 5 about everything becasue that is …

Thats your problem you have IRQ sharing hell. If I were you disable both serials, disable USB, disable parralel LPT port. There maybe an option in the BIOS for PNP OS use that so you can try and force move the Geforce card off IRQ 5, You shouldn't have the graphics card on IRQ 5 anyways or sharing …

5200 is a alright chip for retro gaming provided that it's working with 4x.xx modded drivers. 81.xx drivers are kinda yikes, theyll work just fine probably with newer games but anything that is directx 3a or 5 might not work or have glitches. Even though the 5200 should support the features the …

Ironically had faced the exact same blue screen and error when trying to install VxD drivers for ESS Solo1938s. Now its happening with YMF724. It happens at the moment when legacy audio drivers are being installed. WDM drivers had no issues whatsoever, but also no DOS support. Didn't face the above …

did you remove the sblive? You should be able to use them both but just saying thats with WDM drivers. Or one with WDM and the other with VXDs, but not both VXDs together.

I don't think theres any EISA on those motherboards. There is PCI and ISA only on those motherboards and the EISA looking slot is just wired for ISA. The VGA is on the PCI bus and not sure what else, but there isn't any access to the PCI bus from the riser.

ms gs wavetable has roland samples but the quality of the samples is really low, its probably like 1mb quality if that. I don't have any experience with the s-yxg100+ so I cannot comment on it.

All depends on how your particular motherboard turbos. Some don't turbo right and a DX100 ends up just being way too fast. If it turbos down more than half like mine does than a dx100 can be a thing. Deturbo on a DX2 66 on mine makes it go too slow, so thats how you will know if its good or not.
