I've spent a while getting to the bottom of this and the only solution I can come up with is this.. 1. Format the stick in 98. This by itself sometimes just works but for some sticks I have they show as 128mb in DOS. 2. Reformat in DOS. ( Might still show as 128mb) 3. Put into a Linux distro " …

The old benchmark of mine doom runs fine no screen tearing. But when I've tried a Mario clone platformer it was …

BRILLIANT! thanks for the info! The GN + has no obvious ports to plug expansion. One thing I have noticed tho windows 98 has all the drivers on the cd!! I don't think that's ever happened to me before 😂

Hi, I've managed to obtain a Dell optiplex G1 and a GN+ The G1 has this odd port to the rear that looks like a ddr1 laptop socket, unfortunately I don't have any to see if it fits, but it boggles my brain what this port is for and why. Perhaps video extended memory ? https://i.ibb.co/YQMyHYC/IMG- …

Update I managed to do this eventually, the major setback was not having a cd ROM drive and having to edit the 98se iso to add 98lite. Then the other pain was the partitioning to clone to the 128mb. I achieved the partitioning with partition magic 4.0 in DOS, (sidenote gparted didn't like the 98 …
