Re: Radeon 9600XT strange blue pixels

I have a similar problem with Radeon 9600 256MB, except that I have red pixels when I use the DVI output. Everything is fine on VGA.

I have never noticed any performance increase in Win9x with Dual Channel. Some of my motherboards even performed better in Single Channel.
Re: GA-G41M-ES2H - decent idea for Win98 SE?

I put together a similar system with GA-G31M-ES2L + C2D E8500+ Radeon X600 and Windows 98SE works perfectly, no problems.

And I'm waiting for an FPGA system the size of a Raspberry Pi that will be able to program every component from the retro PC world with ten times more efficiency than the original. Doesn't the MİSTer basically do this already? Maybe some weak 386 will be able to emulate, but I would like to run …

Personally, I'm more interested in being able to run old software on the newest computer. If Windows 10/11 was 100% compatible with Windows9x/DOS, I would give up collecting this 'e-waste' because building working computers from them is often very frustrating. Just install 86box? Too poor …

Re: [Win98SE] Drives are in MS-DOS compatibility mode, but why?
Posted on 2023-07-29, 08:47
Nope, no viruses. If I have the SATA controller enabled in the BIOS, Windows always enters MS-DOS compatibility mode, even if the patch and drivers are installed correctly. If I disable the SATA controller in the BIOS, the MS-DOS mode disappears. ¯\(ツ)/¯

config.sys & autoexec.bat are empty because I only run Windows and I don't have 32BitDiskAccess option in my system.ini.

Hello everyone. Windows 98SE shows me that my disk drives are in MS-DOS compatibility mode, even though I don't see any errors or conflicts in the device manager. I have a 120GB SATA SSD, 80GB PATA HDD and DVD-ROM in the system. The SATA patch and disk controller drivers are installed so I don't …

Hi. A few months ago I had the urge to assemble a retro gaming PC for Windows 9x/DOS. I wanted to build a fast, uncompromising and trouble-free system in which everything would run at full speed. I also didn't want to spend any big money on it, so I was bidding on components worth a maximum of $10 …
Re: Windows 98 doesn't like my graphics card

I bet that the driver cannot handle more than 256mb of ram. Without a patch or some configuration change, I'm sure I won't be able to run this card under Win9x. The worst thing is that under Win9x this card would be God but under Windows XP it's just weak or average at best.

Sorry... I missed that (PCIe card). It's device manager that informs you of issues with hardware. If it's fine (no yellow marks anywhere), it shouldn't show a settings/hardware error ? Q : Can you change desktop resolution (or bit depth) ? There are no conflicts and I can't change the resolution.

I can't change the AGP aperture size because it's a PCI-E card. Windows doesn't detect any memory conflicts either. I know Win9x doesn't need 512MB of graphics memory, but this card came up for auction so I bought it. If I had a choice, I'd take the 256MB version. 😉

I haven't checked this patch for Nvidia cards but it seems to me that it won't work because it modifies the Nvidia driver settings, not the system.

Hello everyone. I recently bought a great graphics card that I wanted to use in Windows 98. It's a Radeon X800 GTO 512MB RAM from Sapphire. Unfortunately, after the correct recognition of the card and installation of the drivers, Windows always shows an error window after restarting (see picture …

Does anyone know if it is possible to reduce the amount of card memory that is seen by the system by modifying the BIOS?

Despite everything, I hope that SBEMU will be refined in the future and will be able to run Windows 98 with driver loaded. Wait could you explain why are you trying to run SBEMU in Win98? There are Win98 drivers for SB Live. And SB Live is also supported by SBEMU in DOS. It’s one or the other. What …
