    My assumption is the other versions of dos didn’t have sound playback due to the fact DOS needs to have the drivers for the intergraded soundcard to load on startup, the reason why 95 works in my opinion is due to having some audio drivers built in, and another idea for storage options is using DOS USB drivers to have music flash drives, so just few ideas

      It's software dependant. Some software will come with its own drivers, some will expect to hook in to existing ones. Of course that's assuming your specific machine has a setting that will make its hardware compatible with those built-in drivers... which may not be the case.

    Only watched about half, but try adding "echo on" on its own line after the MPX line to your autoexec.bat
    MPX may be disabling the echo.

    Def a fun project! MPXPLAY is the only DOS music player I have found that will handle mobo sound on most modern machines without running a tsr program or framing the entire thing in an emulator and mimicking SB16 or some such. While it's not included in FreeDOS anymore due to it not being strictly freeware or GNU public license, it is still easy to obtain and add. Definitely some excellent reverse engineering must have gone into its coding.

  • @eduardoavila646
    @eduardoavila646 7 років тому +1

    A hint for who wana install stuff in old pcs with usb or install dos to a modern one:
    Take the floppy image (.img) and 'burn' it to a usb flashdrive using rufus in dd image mode. Some computers will recognize it as a floppy drive and some as a usb fdd.
    To boot usb installers of windows in old machines you can do that using the floppy image of plop boot manager and then you can boot using usb on any usb-equipped motherboard. And if installing dos, it asks for floppy disks, so this method works too!

    I looked up the specifications for FAT32 and it can support up to 2 TB. The 32 GB limitation you're talking about is a Windows 9x issue.

    • @vwestlife
      @vwestlife 7 років тому +3

      You mean a Windows XP issue. Microsoft prevents newer versions of Windows from formatting FAT32 partitions larger than 32 GB because they want to promote the use of NTFS instead. But Windows 95/98/ME has no trouble formatting FAT32 partitions larger than 32 GB.

    Windows 10 boots very fast because it uses so called fast boot. It works similarly to hibernation i think and when u close your pc correctly, it makes image of system/ram to boot faster. It easy to notice it when for example u restart your pc and it doesn't have the files to boot faster - it takes significally longer.

    I have about 15 all in one car mount/medical lcd computers meant to be used for internet and media terminals. How did you get the onboard sound to work without drivers??? The SATA interface alone keeps me from booting unless the bios is set to legacy or ide emulation as it were,but how did you make sound work? And for most music files(audio based only),you need a selection and setting for 44.1khz 16bit stereo audio playback. I know my win95 setup cd or boot floppy do not have sound drivers for soundblaster pro,let alone modern onboard audio chips. Any help would be great, I also have 10 thinclients also meant for use as media playback devices with the lightest OS possible.

    Found out that the cmd that opens to download relevant stuff for CPU and GPU operation tries downloading a couple things called FaHCore_a7, which is my stuff, and FaHCore_121, which is my GPU. It downloads fine, but doesn't have the .dll file in the directory that helps it get working.

  • @ChartreuseKitsune
    @ChartreuseKitsune 7 років тому

    The issue you're having with the partition sizes is due to Windows 95's use of 28-bit LBA. That gives you a maximum volume size of ~137GB (Some places list it as 127GB). The 32GB "limit" doesn't really exist in Windows 9x, it's a problem with Win2k and XP pro that they won't format a volume > 32GB as FAT32, but Windows 9x has no such problem.
    You should be able to format your drive with a 120GB (Or even all the way up to 136GB) and have no problem, you won't be able to even put a smaller partition past the LBA barrier and have 95 read it though.
    98 and 98SE can support 48-bit LBA (Up to 2TB drives using FAT32) provided the BIOS supports it (your netbook should have no problems with that), so if you were to swap the installation over to those, you won't get hit with the 137GB barrier, so you should be able to have partitions as large as you want, and spanning the whole drive.

    Put BootDelay=0 in MSDOS.SYS - this will speedup boottime even more. Works only for Win95, Win98/SE has that by default, even when not present.

    Have you tried using Win98SE? I'd be curious to see how that would pan out, because, as you probably well know, Win98's inbuilt MS-DOS 7.10 supports disks larger than that. At any rate, it'd be an interesting experiment.

    Wtf we built our first mp3-player ever with 486 systems, DOS 5.0 or 6.22, some drivers for the soundcards and Mpxplay, without any problems, I mean without any unusual problems at this time, but to get clear it was easier than installing a mouse and get it to work.

    I have a Fat32 disk running Windows 98 SE that’s like 250 gigs. When it was inside the computer the BIOS would only see it as a 10GB drive but I just put it in a Pentium 4 PC and ran the windows 98 boot floppy version of fdisk and partitioned and formatted the whole drive there... I think

    You can probably disable boot logo in BIOS to make it boot even faster. Also when you use dd it's better to use /dev/rdisk2 (ie raw disk) and increase the block size to megabyte "bs=1m"

    Personally I've only extended a FAT32 partion to 120GB. I had many errors and file system corruptions though only when storing many small files. It always worked well when storing larger files like video and spanned .rar and .7z archives.
    I think it was down to not overloading the file table index.

    Using Win98 as a base instead of 95 might solve your storage problem.
    FAT32 is capable of supporting up to 2TB partitions. Unfortunately, the generic IDE driver in Windows 95 can't read anything larger than 128GB. Windows 98 didn't have this limitation AFAIK. That (and the fact that his is smaller than 128GB) may be why Akbkuku's large partition works and this one didn't.
    Bonus fact: Even though Windows 98 had no problem with big disks, Windows XP was limited to 32GB partitions for FAT32 (probably to encourage people to switch to NTFS).

    Or you could plug in your Phone.
    120GB Fat32 should work. You might need to install it on there in the first place. Gparted overwrites the bootloader when resizing the disk.

    Try the good old "sys c:" or setting the first partition as bootable. I think that's why your HDD wasn't booting.
