msys.bat should be located in the 1.0 folder in the msys folder in the MinGW folder.

You only need to install WinPcap on your XP system. Don't forget to have the IPX protocol installed on the Win98 computer, preferably with NetBIOS enabled. You don't have to install IPX on XP. The NE2000 DOS drivers through the IPX Passthrough DOSBox Megabuild will take care of that stuff (per …

Most CD-ROM kits bundled a WSS card for the value price. Diamond had a CS4248-based one that had Interplay 10th, Myst, Megarace, Rebel Assault with it, and I think some AZTECH shareware CD too (specifically, "AZTECH's Super Games")...

Microsoft has been begging people to stop using IE6 because it's so full of security holes, bugs and other nastiness that they don't want to waste any more time on fixing. But to stop using IE6 would mean to start using XP, not exactly an option for some users here. I don't get why there needs to …

MT-32 was never part of my PC experience then so I must be considered hipster for not having any extenal music modules 😉

Be careful with that drive in Win9x. Go beyond writing a certain gigabyte and you'll lose everything

1996 is "too early"? lol no I'll second 1994 for the CD-ROM gaining mainstream in the PC. The whole "Multimedia PC!" and Myst being primary hype driving factors. (Yeah I know 7th Guest is earlier, but Myst was the big one, and it was bundled with many a CD-ROM drive then) - and I don't think 1994 is …

Twisted Metal 2 used Direct3D. The 3dfx logo is just branding, and there's also a Matrox logo.

Why pig out over 512mb for Win98se? Also you'll run into trouble with the lack of 48-bit LBA on a hard drive that large in Win98. There's supposedly a driver out there, but I don't trust any of them :P Finally, most of the games you listed are suitable for a XP machine (especially listing Need for …

"Abandonware" is not a legal status; it's nothing more than an excuse for piracy (and Trixter hates how his term for actual abandoned obscure software became some catch-all "its old now you can steal it for free" term because of certain popular warez sites taking the word and running with it). Sony …

The main drawback of the PCX1-2 is that it does not have blending functions besides alpha blend. It does not even have alphatest. Neon250 solves that issue in SGL2 also while PCX2 does support 24-bit color, there are many video drivers that try to disable the use of it and force 16-bit color instead …

Yeah, I was testing with 1.6 Battle for Naboo almost runs - can see the logo intro almost, it renders only the distance terrain buffer I'd try Mupen64Plus, but my big issue with command-line emulation is the lack of interactive input binding :) I also can't remember the last command-line only …

I just tried the SoftGraphic 1.4 PJ64 plugin, and I really like how 2D games (such as Mischief Makers) actually look 2D and sharp instead of a bunch of blurred polygonal pieces glued together)
Re: Does Shadow Warrior not have analog Forward/Backward movement?

"Old game" is not really much of an excuse for a lack of analog forward and back. In the 90's i've seen a few trackball Doom and Wolf3D players
