it might work on 98 with kernelex maybe. It definitely won't work on win95 though, it links to a d3d9 dll. Also the engine itself can get along with Techland's MiniGLs last time I checked. 😀

to be fair, the steam version of half-life has never ever supported any MiniGL drivers, and would probably consider it as a cheat if you tried one online. and i wouldn't bother with anything newer than 1.1.0.x retail anyway since the steam version also axes a couple renderer-related features

on a related note lol don't get me started on "vaporwave" and all these strange obsessions for wireframes and neon colors due to "babby's first 80s references" games coming out recently (blood dragon, hotline, ddragon neon etc). I'm not much of a fan of bands naming themselves after video game …

No FWIW the current steam beta client (the bleeding edge) still supports Windows XP. The real requirement is a SSE-supporting processor Also Steam games before when 98 support was dropped were still mostly the usual Valve (with Day of Defeat Source being the most recent), plus a handful of third …

IIRC for the Rage128, the paletted texture option is emulation and isn't real paletted texturing. (and remember, do not forget r_primitves 2 in Q3, and "use opengl display lists" in the latest MDK2 version for that boost)

Old systems are flaky and fragile and once they work "well enough" you should leave them alone. The urge to constantly change things is more trouble than it's worth. ...until you move, things loosen and you must go through a troubleshooting cycle once again on why old rig X doesn't work as it …

You're lucky. WinQuake has known issues from Win7 all the way down to WinNT4 (which it was developed for 🤣).

unexpected motherboard chipset failures/quirks that get in the way of basic file transfer and peripheral usage, but that's less of a "retro rig" and more of a "budget" problem of building a computer in the day
