I tried to sync up the CRT refresh rate with the camera shutter speed and this was the best I could get, I have a feeling the camera's 1/60 is actually more like 1/59.3242 or something. Also I wonder how well those specs for "your $3,000 gaming rig" will age lul. Also sorry about the weird mic noises in some of the clips in the second half, I was trying a new recording setup and it sucks.

And still it gets updates
Yeah, I'd imagine win10 getting updated and still relevant even that far out... although I'm likely to not see 2080, but still

On a side note, I wonder if anyone will remember the Intel 8086 some 6,000 or more years from now... 8086: intel year!!!
you could see 2080 depending on how old you are and if you are willing to go cyborg or even further than that because that tech will likely be here before 2080 :) @@adventureoflinkmk2

Few things to mention. You CAN make the USB work in Windows 98, there are universal USB storage drivers available. Also you can play with Novell Netware for DOS/Windows, ODI drivers were universal at that time and theoretically could work with any Ethernet adapter. Also there were all sort of audio drivers and tweaks that can make your Windows sound-aware, even using the internal speaker. Not that all this is worth the effort. :)
I'm interested
what an awesome video.. the sense of humor, the music, the timing, content, everything is very entertaining.. great job!!
Just a few days ago I watched a video where the CZcamsr installs windows 98 on that era's hardware and I thought why would someone go through that many efforts required to gather the hardware instead of just installing the OS on modern hardware. Matt's hardships answer that .

These videos are so entertaining I find myself rewatching them a lot
Im a history nerd and this brings me so much joy
This is less of a weird concept and more of a tutorial to further drive my obsession
Windows 98 is slow on modern hardware because of the way that Windows 98 manages RAM and CPU. It doesn't have a proper "Idle" process so it populates 100% the CPU at full bore at all times, whether it's used or not. So it freaks out when it sees way more RAM than it expects to run on. Windows 98 on a PC from the late days of XP and early days of Vista would be about the limit since they are normally had about 1 GB of RAM at the lowest would be about the limit of what could be effectively ran. If you add an app that applies the Idle process, it will run properly. something about ACPI or something like that has to be fixed to make it work right. Virtualbox has this issue as well.
Heck a Netbook makes Windows 98 run like lightning. but that's because most only came with 1 GB and had low resolution screens.
Or use a 3rd-party Memory Manager from the era; I used a program called RamIDLE back in the day. I think it's still available for free download, actually...
@@xheralt same idea, but I couldn't remember what one of the programs were called.
Where can i even get a full copy of Win98?

I’m glad I got to the end and found out about the video editing program! I’m stoked! I’m tired of paying for Adobe Premiere! I hope an official version comes out in the near future!
Hey, I think I know about the battery usage: Old DOS didn't really use interrupts for the CPU, so they where 100% even while idle (wonders of having really low power hungry processors). Windows 98 actually supported power management, only detects it automatically in APM machines... You can force the setup option /p j and force ACPI and that high juicy battery life (not compatible with Windows 95)
OMG!!! Desktop Themes! I loved those! The ones shown in the video were among my favorites! Talk about a shot of nostalgia! Geez!
Didn't it come with a Plus package or something. The 'in the computer' theme was my favorite for a long time.

I’m currently restoring a windows 98 computer I found in a dumpster
I remember doing these setups back in the day as part of my first job when I was 16 and let me tell you 36 minutes estimated for installing the O/S is hilarious. Used to take up to 4 hours per PC in some cases. Funny how people jumped from Windows 98 to Windows XP but no one talks about Windows ME or Windows 2000.
It was similiar with XP - on some PCs it took 30-40 minutes to install, on other 3-6 hours. As to not talking about ME or 2000, the latter was for workstations, not for PCs, so not many people had even seen it (my first contact was in 2012, when I had to make a new medical treadmill work with an old medical workstation). I don't know, how it was in the west, but in a country from the Warsaw Pact replacing OS every 2-3 years was not an option because it was too expensive. That's why most PCs had Windows 98 SE, Windows 98 or even Windows 95 installed until XP-era. I've seen ME only once, when my younger cousins got a PC and I was asked to set it up. There was a preinstalled Windows ME and it crashed (BSOD) 15 minutes after first launch. After 2-3 hours I've installed them Windows 98 SE and I wasn't needed until they wanted me to install Windows XP on their PC.
@@michamarkowski2204 It was the same around here for a little while, many companies would run old operating systems through fear of breaking things. I remember servicing a very large Bank and they had Windows NT on some work stations around 2003-4 and hospitals or local GP's were the same.
Around 2000 was when they started to produce factory built PCs to sell to every day families and that created Windows Millennium Edition, companies like Time PC or Tiny PC eventually most of these went bust. ME barely ever worked, we always used to install 98SE over it for reliability. Good times, I found it more interesting working with PC's in that era. I can't stand Windows 10.

Windows ME was not for me.
Windows 2000 certainly was.
I stayed with Windows XP for quite a while before jumping onto the Windows 7 Bandwaggon.
Windows XP was easier to customize than Windows 7, besides which I had to write my own
Scanner drivers for Windows XP to use the $1500 UMAX Scanner, which worked very well,
and I was not about to start writing a driver to make the scanner work on Windows 7, which
made me stay with XP.
I have since written drivers for the UMAX scanner for Windows 7 and Windows 10 64 bit, and
the scanner sits unused. Being a 3 pass scanner it is slow.

Actually it is possible to have up to 3.3 GB of RAM in Windows 98 (like in any 32-bit Windows). Back in 2008, some hacking was done in Germany on a third-party Windows 98 memory patch to remove elements of copy-protection or proprietary installation and convert the files into fully portable, fully distributable working versions.
In early 2014, some mention of these hacked files was made on certain english-language web-forums, and the link from which these files could be downloaded was discovered. The files in question are replacements for VMM32.vxd and VMM.vxd. They allow Windows 98 to boot and run on systems with huge amounts of RAM, and make use of up to 3.3 GB of RAM.
I myself had installed Windows 98 on a machine with 20 GB of RAM and it's been running with little to no problems. The only side-effect of using these files as-is, is that when you get BSOD errors, the text of the errors is written in German, and not English.
Here is a link to these files (vmm98sed.zip):

I will subscribe to your channel as I think you have a lot of talent and creativity and personality, I expect to find more worthwhile videos. Hopefully you'll gain some sort of payback in the future.

Dude, I bow to your persistence. I would've given up multiple times during that process. Well done!
A very good video I have an a modern computer trying to use Windows 98 any chance you going to think about going to XP or heck even Windows 3.1. now that would be an interesting video in the future. Anyway keep up the good work
I could certainly be tempted to make videos in that vein 👀
The install process for 3.1 is pretty simple install freedos the new one not the old one use the second option on startup copy the 3.1 install floppies to a USB flash drive go to the USB flash drive in dos and do the installation pretty simple do not use the Rufus freedos it's old as crap
If he went with Win 3.1, the DOS NIC driver would probably work.
Yess please do about XPPP, I love it
the downside to xp is Microsoft carefully removed the activation from their options, so while you can get it to run, it will always be "not genuine"
getting it to run is not much of an issue, still new enough
What I had to do on my XP laptop (98SE install) was use the Rain program to keep the otherwise excessive CPU usage to a dull roar. That'll help with the initial slow antics, and further help with those processor spikes.

Booting from USB in a VM :
- create VMDK pointing to your USB
- add this VMDK as your disk to VM
Profit !
no side loaders needed, USB is posing as a HD (can set to IDE, for example)
There's an setting in the display options where you can change the native PPI of the OS from 72 to 96. That would make the text more readable on high res display.
Windows 98, my God that takes me back. *Cries tears of nostalgia while listening to Oasis*
14:28 I actually thought an ad popped up lol
Which version of 98 did you use? There was a huge difference between editions. Nothing ever worked on first edition I worked tech support way back then, and we wouldn't touch any machine that didn't have SE.
Great video. My quick take is that the VMWare does a better job of emulating the hardware architecture of the era. Also did you try with Windows 98 SE? I’m curious if that would make a difference?
vms are just bad for Windows 98, and pcem should be used if you want to play any games and have DOS support and want everything to work properly. Downside is it needs a gaming PC.
