Today I tried out my YMF744 card on my Windows 98SE PCIe rig with the Intel P965 chipset and the first thing I wanted to try out was MS-DOS compatibility. I was suprised that it worked out very well and worked with most games a threw at it. Much better compatibility than my Vortex AU8820. Usually Intel chipsets newer than the 800 series is a big no with DOS gaming and digitized sound.
I reserved IRQ5 in the BIOS.
Remember to use the VGA output of your graphic card for best DOS compatibility, using DVI screwed up graphics in some games and made the mouse not work in others.
Setup:
Asus P5B-Deluxe
Core 2 Duo E6600 @ 3.52GHz
Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX
512MB DDR2
MS-DOS 7.10
Games that worked:
Carmageddon
Death Rally
Descent
Doom
Duke Nukem 3D
Epic Pinball
Gods
Grand Theft Auto
One Must Fall
Pinball Fantasies
Screamer (Works in low res. mode using the DOS/32A extender.)
Sim City 2000
Slipstream 5000
Space Quest IV (CPU cache disabled for this one.)
Speed Haste
Transport Tycoon
Warcraft II
Wolfenstein 3D
Games that failed:
Jazz Jackrabbit ("Loader error (0025)", the game fails even when selecting no sound as long as DSDMA.EXE is loaded.)
Hi Kamerat. I have installed Windows98SE on ASUS P5B Premium. This board should be more or less the same as ASUS P5B Deluxe. I successfully managed to install AHCI for better compatibility,
USB2.0, but no chipset drivers. Lot of people are saying that chipset drivers are not needed, but under Device Manager I have annoying messages with ? and ! marks:
? Other Devices -> ?! PCI System Management Bus (The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver
-> Unknown Device (The drivers for this device are not installed (Code 28). To reinstall the drivers for this device, click Reinstall Driver)
System devices -> ! Motherboard resources (This device is causing a resource conflict. (Code 15). howewer UNDER RESOURCES Conflicting device list showing: No conflicts.
should I have concerns about PCI System Management Bus or simply disable it? Under BIOS i have almost everything Disabled except USB. I did not use legacy mode. ACPI is also Disabled. Or
not? There is only ACPI 2.0 Support and ACPI APIC support. All Disabled.
Another thing is that I have older BIOS. Maybe BIOS update will solve it?
My BIOS settings are now:
