You really need only storage drivers - unless you get generic 2MB/s transfers… btw lost of disk benchmarks for Win98 just reporting non senses, just copy files. Otherwise there is lots of urban legends about that Win98 are not supporting PCI-E, its just lie - if you have drivers, its working at least - videocards, storage controllers and Nics can work… Chipset drivers - for modern MBs, are not exists, but you dont need them, if want just have right names for devices are some null drivers (Lone Crusader made some package). Im a bit dissapointed that there are lots open source Linux graphics drivers, graphical API translators etc…but nothing for Win98… ve have only generic 2D drivers, without any Direct3D/OpenGL support, i thing that is possible to write them. New video cards have enough horsepower that you can waste u dunno 95% of its performance and even that performance would be greater that Win98 fastest videocards. Only other solution and probably only possible future… unless some direct GPU Passthroug of whole GPU to virtual machine is drive new open source GPU drivers from the scratch. If dont want mess with forcing OS to disable some gpu make ot which has in bios primary GPU slot selection - so you can make bios profiles per OS and with multiple display cables and monitor inputs or hdmi switches you can make it working fine. If someone can fix it, or find some new MB, which is still suporting them, it would be nice. You need Gigabyte or HP O.E.M MBs which are only ones them, simply behave as these cards are not pluged in. Other problem is that at least some newer MBs (Z370) simply throw away PCI-E gen1 cards support and cant boot withher primary, what is half working (infamous dual dual stunt). I read whole thread, here are my notes, sorry for lenght, but it was lenghty reading too, so im giving you your own medicine:)Ĩ) There was some Win98 talk, there main problem are really videocards drivers,because only very old cards are supported - you need some PCI-E gen1 - Geforce 6xxx (Geforce 7 even with Rloew patch is lost cause for gaming,Geforce 5 PCI-E / PCI are rare) or Radeon X300-X850 and even them are too modern for some games. So for example make integrated lan in XP matters.įrom gaming perspective is XP 64 dead end, so im not interested. So you need multiple videocards (XP support ends with Geforce 9xx), sounds card, disk controllers and every saved slot big victory (good placement you components because videocards are often is 2 slots… is quite puzzle game). Main difference which is generation my goal, is that you need much more PCI-E slots to have some special devices for target os. I dont follow last 2 years progress but there wasnt possible to simply switch USB devices, so i needed lots of cables and KVM switches. Its working, but has lots of disadvantages… and only main advantage - you can run on one machine multiple - machines in parallel without rebooting. I spend also some time with Unraid, where you can passthrough videocard to guest. Gaming is important because otherwise you can just use virtualization(real one - Vmware Workstation/Fusion), which is working quite good for non gaming stuff. Well as maybe some know my goal, is multiboot gaming machines, i made some fastest and as possible DOS with PCI Sound to Windows 7 圆4 machine(max is X58/ X79), i have on every machine Linux (or more of them) too and on main ones have Mac OS too. I remember when i after zillion tried made Xp install on with with automated install because even PS/2 port where not working… and later managed to integrate network drivers and connected through vnc or remote desktop and slowly made thinks working to make possible actually used machine… Thanks all for this work, especially Diderius6+Daniel+ MovAX0xDEAD, i started with XP on Z370 (GB Aorus ultra gaming) (Z170 was easy) almost 2 years ago, later i tested Daniels moded bioses.
