@tiemen I believe so yeah, Someone please correct me if I'm mistaken, it's something to do with how win98 handles drives larger than 137GB is broken and needs patching, I recall XP RTM had a similar issue that wasn't fixed until XP SP1. Microsoft never released an official patch for win98 though, …

@Tiemen Very Nice! Just a bit of a heads up with your 250GB SSD, make sure to install rloew's PATCH137 or PATCH1TB so you don't encounter wrap-around corruption past the 137GB barrier and lose everything on the drive. I made a Partion in windows 98 that gives me a 128 GB harddisk. I will never have …

Just wanted to show off my retro pc gaming project I worked on for a long time. 1.jpg Goal was to make a pc that could run all the games from when I was young (I still am 😛), age 5-15 (till the end of 2000). There are about 200+ games I've played in that period, and I installed each and every on of …

I was able to install it using only the Voodoo5 5500 card. Then I put the pass through back again. And now it works. Can't get 3dfx to work however this way.

I have the voodoo2 back in now. Screen goes black again. While the screen is on black, I grab the vga cable, and put in directly into the Voodoo5, without pass through. And it works. Weird. Nobody had a clue?

Just a little update. I had problems with world cup 98 too with 3dfx, using the fast voodoo 4.6 driver. Since champions league also didn't work in pure dos mode, it couldn't be just the fast voodoo driver, because dos doesn't utilize that. But it did gave me an idea. I pulled the voodoo2 card out. …

I have a setup with a voodoo5 5500 and a voodoo2 12 mb Tualatin 1400 (so Voodoo1 doesn't work) I thought: Voodoo2 for DOS games, Voodoo5 5500 for win98. But Fifa 99 doesn't recognize the Voodoo5 5500. I'm I doing something wrong, or does fifa 99 not work with a voodoo5 5500?

Hello, Just a stupid question. With Voodoo2 SLI you can get a 1024x768 resolution. Does this really make a difference instead of just one voodoo card for: Fifa 99? World Cup 98? Or does the resolution/FPS pretty much stay the same? Will these games perform better on a Voodoo2 SLI or will it be the …

Try removing the battery to clear the BIOS settings and see if it makes any difference. Failing that, try with everything disconnected except for the ATX & 4-pin power cables and connect a monitor to the onboard graphics and see if you can get any further. Maybe also try different RAM sticks. …

Under Win98 and with any Pentium III CPU I'd be really suprised if there was a relevant difference between integrated 100MB/s IDE and SATA1. The CPU should be a greater bottleneck in anything but synthetic benchmarks and large file transfers, while the relatively small random reads and writes of …

I try to only use the Promise PCI SATA controllers. For win9x you want the SATA 1 - 150 controller. The newer ones do not have drivers available for Win9x. The Promise based cards are the only ones that I have found that just work and haven't given me any problems like the SIL and VIA ones do. It …

The PCI SATA controllers work just fine. The ones with the Promise S150 chipset are good. TX2 (2 sata) or TX4 (4 sata) The SX4 one will NOT work with anything below 2000/XP There are also a few other ones that support 98SE, and should work fine in DOS as well, I just have't actually tested them …
