In U.S., our Packard Bell Pentium 100 had a 1MB Cirrus Logic card IIRC, if that means anything :)
Dude that gray and white kitty in the video looks just like my cat
didnt play a single fallout game, missed opportunity
How did you get the Libretto’s drivers into it without having the PCMCIA slot working? I’m stuck there right now and IDK what should I do next
Copied them straight into the SD card from my pc
Full speed :D
Hi there, just to help the people looking for a similar solution on the old Creative sound cards. I just got one of many pci-e to pci adapters out there from Aliexpress. I have a Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Edition, was working flawlessly in a X58 system (GA X58a UD7). Since I changed to 1700 was looking for one of those adapters. After tons of reading, I saw that many people have issues with low volume, or no volume at all. Well, I´m leaving here the link of mine that is working flawlessly. Same volume, all configs and stuff, like the console launcher modes, frontal I/O, etc. I´m using Windows 10 LTSC - 21H2. I even tested the adaptor on a pci-e 16x, also 100% good. Leaving the name of the adapter if the link stops working (DIEWU PCi-e to PCI Adapter PCIe to Dual PCI Slot Expansion Card Support Acquisition Card Golden Tax Card) The link: pt.aliexpress.com/item/1005006351224418.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.5.11e0caa486tt3g&gatewayAdapt=glo2bra
i bought and downloaded the case files, seems your front main cover/face plate is missing
Where we can find this sbc 486 board any links?
You can find similar ones on eBay
Convert that MP3 file into WAV format and it will play flawlessly.
Im thinking of doing it with an 1tb pny or wd 2.5 ssd
i respect your craftsmanship and eye for detail, your patience and the fact that you didn't rush the project really shows in the end result.
ill bet that the voodoo2 would work in ubuntu. you might be able to even game on it through wine
You really need a Pentium 60, or better for MP3 playback on Windows 95/98 however there were native DOS MP3/video players out there that can run with a DX2 66 with no problem (though I don't know if you can still download them anymore). Frankly if gaming on anything, but DOS was your main goal a Vortex86 CPU SBC would have been a better choice they got better VGA accelerators on the newer ones. Still this is a rather nice DOS gaming rig.
Listening to the music in this video makes me want to play Hardspace Shipbreaker again ... for the third time XD
Trident did not work back then either :D (at least without drivers(which were not existing basically :D))
Wonderful project to watch. I am glad you took the time to create the video. It was well edited and narrated. Kudos and thank you. PS you just gained a subscriber.
I just realized that I will never be bored again. This is an amazing project and look forward to seeing how it turns out in the years forward. Great Job!
The end result was epic! Great job!!
im sitting here sick watching libretto stuff and i just realized we are wearing the same t short lol the Tetris one from Uniqlo
I have pci port for the old pci card but when i connect it my computer freezes when i turn it on
That happened to me when I play modern warfare 3.

this is an amazing resource and this video deserves more attention. thank you for making this
ngl taking the screws out is a pain in the buttcrack lol.

Hei I've been facing problem. Recently I moved out to grandma house. She has 24inch old sharp tv. When I plug my ps5 it just goes blank, no picture. It display 1080p 60fps on screen but all black. Any ideas?
You deserve way more credit for this. Brilliant job.
You, my man, solved my entire problem with a veeeeeery specific search I was getting trouble finding it. A shame this one isn't as famous as the others...
7:37 typing (awesome) will make the video progress bar kinda do the same thing
WinME is an awesome OS for retro with today's mature drivers. Aside its known advantages, it even consistently beats Win98SE and Win2000 in most benchmarks. WinME+1.4Ghz Tualatin+9600XT ou Pro just for that extra oomph to go along with the CPU, solid as a rock, will take care of anything up to late 2003 and will look good doing it. I've never understood the DOS argument against WinME. DOS games are of course perfectly playable if you launch them from within Windows ME, which is more than fine for the games most people want to play, and if you're a DOS purist, why would you even run DOS games on a PC with hardware from this era anyway?... Hope you found your Tualatin+board combo Eric. Just skip the slotket adapters and go for a native Tualatin supporting board, not worth the hassle. Abraço
Please could you share the list of all the components you assemble together, especially the 4-slots ISA to PC104 card? We cannot clearly see in the video how they all got connected.
does this website have image search?
I think the memory mapping error may have to do with having too much main RAM, I see a lot of old software from this era freak out if the machine has too much RAM or VRAM because it can't read numbers that large and just assumes its a gigantic negative number. As for Windows XP crashing, that's almost definitely an incompatibility with your southbridge, you can fix that with something like nLite or WinSetupFromUSB which has options to force drivers onto the install media. I had to do that for my eMachines build and it worked.
17:55 music?
this is sick
Man, you're badass! Once you will reach 1m subscribers, I can say that I was subscribed in first 10k 😀
Hi, nice Video. Thanks for sharing. After sseing your 3dmark I had to run this Again on my Athlon XP 2600+. In Win98 I came to 2750 points. So there should be a huge Potential in changing the CPU. Greetings
I LOVE IT!!!! Thank you!!!
Next stop: pcie to ISA adapter.
This is really cute! I appreciate that the files to do this are available to the public, even with a small and well-earned fee. It really is a shame that the laptop cd rom wasn't working :(
