"There isn't really much you can do on Win98" Ummm I play a lot of my childhood educational games on it and discovering more games on Internet Archive if my comment isn't shadowbanned!
No sponsors
Shush it
Why I love your channel Dan, always some cool stuff to show.
Looking forward to watching this. Thanks for the great videos you keep doing dan. Keep it up mate 🤟😁👍
Nice! I'm still waiting for a RPi400 Linux distro with login menu options like "Commodore 64", "Amiga 500", "Amiga 1200", "486/Win 98", etc ready to go with all software already setup :)
Im right there with you.. already using twister os. dial up bbses in a distro would also be cool complete with games and art work.
Oh year. That would be amazing. Or just a Windows 98 ready distro. All configured and ready to run.
Wow Dan! Thnx for anoyher dope vid ! Keep it goin! 🔥👾
Thanks as always Dan
Thanks for pointing out how impractical the ribbon menu is👍
Awesome video 😊
5:47 You don't need to do "cd ~", typing a "cd" by itself will by default in most shells I believe take you to your $HOME folder.
@Kamey CD .. will take you to the parent directory of the one you're in.
wow, it works. been using linux as a daily driver for almost 10 years and didn't knew that :) i've been always using cd ~ to get to home. thx :)
@Kamey no need to when you can just execute cd from any directory.
Yeah, that's true. In windows however, just typing "cd" is the equivalent of linux's "pwd"
I skipped 98 and went from 95C to 98SE.
This is definitely something I would be interested in, just to play the old Windows Entertainment Pack games. Things were much simpler back then.
And I have a Pi400 now!
I know this is an old comment, but if you have the iso files for it, you can run them on modern Windows using OTVDM, which is itself pretty easy to install and run.
Good Job.
Guess I wasn’t the only one having that thought! 😂
Excellent as always!
Is there a way to emulate windows 98 without an x-server? Maybe somehow through the linux framebuffer? I would think that this could run faster.
I actually need to try this to get working for my next retro LAN once we get the pandemic under control.
No, seriously. This has been something I wanted to try for long but as you said... tutorials aimed to get Win98 running are really cryptic.
You could setup a machine running win server 2000 and have everyone vpn into a win98 game. Might not get everything pre tcpip running but most everything should work like it always did.
Dan you should run that doom directly in the dos, not via Win98. No wonder it was slow. Are you able to answer me one question which I always ask, but nobody till now was able to answer it in the videos, please? Actually what is the speed of that emulated machine? For example a good info is already the System information Benchmarks from Norton utilities 6 or 7( dos version ). Thanks very much in advance.
Thanks Dan, I successfully installed Win98 on the Pi with dosbox-x. The only problem is, having shutdown it down for the first time. I now don't know how to re-start Win98 !? Dosbox-x seems to keep asking for a working directory from which to run emulators ?
Clippit? CLIPPIT?!? That's my childhood ruined.
And I was 25 at the time.
Hello.
What vlc version you can use in win98?
Hi! Thank you for your video. It is possible to install software for win98 in this raspberry with win98? Thank you!
Another great video Dan and thanks for introducing me to the term Mandela Effect. Clippy is no more ;)
Dan, can you do a Full build and ISO it up with a clean install please?
Everything works correct with that configuration ? Any problems ? I need to use that in some old machine
How comes the vidéo games work properly. I have some W98 virtual machines with VBOX or VMware but I had issues with graphic card émulation.
I cannot download the driver collection. Does anyone have an alternative link or something
wow..that's impressive!
and would it be possible to load Windows 98 SE on an SD card and have the Pi boot from that? since I would also be using a USB floppy drive and a SSD as the main boot drive (Optical drive included).
Can you make a tutorial of how to installa W98 on Dosbian?
The guide on Dosbian web is too confuse.
I tried to compile dosbox-x in rpi4 in raspbian. I following your guide but when i type "./build" the build crashes and i get this error: in file included from.... sdl_system.h error unknown type name hwind .... and unknow type name himc. Can you hwlp me?
Have you messed around with PCem for Windows? Version 17 supports real hardware configs from 8086 to slot 1 pentium 2 and video cards from CGA / EGA up to SLI 3dfx Voodoo 2 or AGP Voodoo 3. Works really well now I even have a Packard Bell PB570 VM running the stock Packard Bell factory image of 95.
720p max?! Nice instructional guide though Dan 👌👍🏻
Hi,i installed windows 98 using this guide in my Raspberry Pi 4b 4gb and they perform really slow even doom game runs like 5fps,is there some way to boost the performance??
Not bad, but that speed is a bit too slow for me. I wonder what is would be like with an overclocked pi, dosbian and a 4:3 resolution?
I remember seeing Win98 on a friends PC back then. I was running an Amiga 3000 with an 060 accelerator card and 16MB of RAM at the time. I couldn't believe how slow and awful it was compared to my older system. When I upgraded to a Dual P2/333 later on I installed SUSE Linux because of that experience. It was difficult at first but after a few months I fell in love with the power. It's funny now to look back and see the changes that have happened over the last 20 or so years.
Ooooh, so early 😮
9:40 25 years later, and still I just want to instinctively kill it all with fire and exit to DOS and install Doom II, which is the only proper use case of a 486 DX.
Ahh, what a perfect warm feeling of nostalgia washing over me....
That ribbon interface cancer is still happening to this day. I really miss the 9x/2000 era UI design, it was straight forward and didn't try to hide everything behind tabs and submenus.
Can it run xp and vista and 7 ?
My pi 4 keeps restarting on the ./build step and I have no idea why… :(
Btw with qemu its much easier you just need the iso file and a few commands to boot to windows 98 I've managed to boot to windows 7 with qemu
what about windows 98 on raspberry pi 3?
Wow can't believe that I am old enough to remember airxonix, used to play on my packard bell window xp
If you want 3DFX Voodoo3 emulation, AWE32 emulation, 8GB of HDD, easy instalation and manipulation with other goodies... try PCem.
Sure, ya need at least Ryzen 3 1200 to run it, but it's still great.
However, it's still impressive to see Win98 run on a Pi. I hope it'll be eventually more usable with better power and emulation options. :)
Dosbox is a bit naff. What about using qemu and it's x86 emulation or use box86 and virtualbox.
could this work on the 3?
Can you do a tutorial of how to install Windows 98 on Dosbian?
I loved Jasc Paintshop pro and the Animation program. I Made GIF
Love the content. I'm curious about running windows nt 4 workstation and windows nt 4 server on the pi this way. I assume it's possible since they ran on the same low end Pentium machines that Win95/98 would. Have you tried it?
No you wouldn’t because windows nt runs on the nt kernel not on top of dos like what dos box emulates if you wanted to do that I would use qemu
subbed
Very interesting. I have bought a chinese cnc, that needs XP to run the mach3 controller. Also have a rpi4 8gb. Is there a way to install XP to rpi, as it is very small, and the environment is not friendly to a pc. Thanks
QEMU exists. It won't be fast, though
Can you do how to install windows xp on a raspberry pi
Please make a detail tutorial.
No need to put windows 98 on my raspberry pi, I found a Sony viao pcv-120 for $10! And I just got a voodoo card So now I'm going to have some real nostalgia fun.
Does this support Direct 3D?
14:27 Hi Five... I also Use Winamp to these days...
inrease the clock speed in dosbox
I would recommend using QEMU too. It will not be fast, but it should run up to XP
I'd love to be able to play Nightmare Ned or Zoo Tycoon whenever I want
I love Raspberry Pies! They turn up all over the house!
Does anyone know how the game visible at 0:30 is called?
Its called James Pond. Not quite sure which part but it could be part 2
I actually have Windows98 SE on actual hardware (a PC from 2005)
Hello smokers, Druaga1 here! my voice is british now...
Think I would play Wizardry 7 and 8 on that install 🥳
What´s the name of the game in 0:30min ? i just played it in my childhood but never found it again...
Its called James Pond. Not quite sure which part but it could be part 2
5:48 No need to type in ~ to go to the home folder, just type cd.
The network doesn't work with WiFi. Don't know about wired but wireless definitely isn't supported from experience
I also run WinAmp (mainly for Internet Radio) :)
qemu-system-i386 -accel tcg -hda w98.qcow2 -boot once,d,menu=off -cdrom w98.iso [idk continue it by yourself]
This is not as useful as it could be, if there's no 3D acceleration, or better yet, 3Dfx Glide support.
On a different note, Doom would likely run much better if you tried the DOS version directly in DosBox.
Glide in dosbox?🤣
Why does all the installer instructions play the SAME EXACT software not realizing there are other prettier software to run?
Working in raspberry pi 3 plus
Cool
overclocking the pi will help extreamly much.
I shouted out Clippy too.
I guess I can run now x86 apps on arm.
i'm using wiamp in windows 10 too.
I still use winamp 😁
Windows 98se ftw 😁👍
👍🖖
I would like to see windows xp on raspberry Pi
You can do that with qemu and you can install qemu with one click with pi apps
Call me back when you’re able to run Windows 98 natively with no emulation.
It will never happen. Unless you recompile Windows 98.
+1 for effort . but windows 98 if anything , lived longer then it should have. it got more use then it should have. what didt get any where near it's full potential . this operating system was truly 32bit, and not just a fake 32bit overlay ontop of the same old 16bit DOS shell is ;; )r0ww--------------------
oh ok
Sounds like its not really useful at the moment. Probably better and easier to get a Win xp machine of some kind and backpedal into 98se. Its what I did.
ever hear of "Dosbian?' someone already did that last year and its alot easiser than what you are doing.
I kinda wanna buy a raspberry pi just for this lmao
You can buy them on Amazon and you can buy it second hand on Facebook if you want one or you might be able to get it from their official online store.
Try Tiny XP
*sees doom running like a slideshow*
Something tells me I won’t get MechWarrior 3 running. Hell I don’t think I’ll get MechWarrior 2 to run.
I'm not watching your sick little video, I just came here to call you a monster!
Imagine doing that to a poor little Pi.
I still use Winamp too lol
Does it still whip the llama ass? :)
@@scottwilliams4157 Yeah for sure
Word 97??? Come on that's sacrilege when you have vi on the Pi.
Lol i have old laptop from 90
My laptop runs doom so good
Because raspberry pi lag more
My pc old pc don't lag at all
2 things you can do with win98
1. Delete it 2. goto 1.
It was pretty awful, but WinME was far worse. I consider every windows OS prior to XP to be beta or alpha software. My brother in law upgraded from ME to XP and lost his printer. There was no XP driver for it. He cheerfully bought a new printer, saying "It's worth it not to have the damn computer crash every 30 minutes anymore."
so it appears that the windows 98 is running inside the raspberry pi os. How would you run a cmd? If i were to run cmd while on the Windows 98 os, would it use a windows kernal and syntax, or the kernal and syntax the raspberry pi os uses?
That's disappointing. I assumed it would blast through windows 98
It's amazing how these tutorials uploaders act like NPC's following the script.
The new RPI next generation 400 what it will have:
Build in screen
Build in battery
Build in touchpad
Build in keyboard
Windows 11 compatible
It's just a joke
*Looks at Win 98SE disc*
"I don't need you anymore".
tilde..... tilda is rice
Worst OS ever haha. I remember having to re-install this crap every month back in the day. XP was bit better but not much. Win 7 was the first good, reliable Windows system in my opinion.
I do remember having to re-install it a lot early on but I'm not sure how much of that was me being a noob and not knowing how to fix stuff. 98SE was a decent O/S to use. XP I never really liked, Win 7's my favourite for usability, stability and compatibility.
Windows ME was the worst OS ever. Going from 98SE to WinME was a massive downgrade to a buggy mess. XP was the first Windows OS that didn't regularly crash. Everything prior was, at best, beta software.
humans are weird. Trying to emulate past machines. I bet not long from now we'll be emulating Pies on our AMD Phaser III 6.7 GHz
