    You really do a great job of taking subject matter that could be very, very dry, and making it entertaining instead. Kudos!

    Could you also make a video of installing Windows ME on 86Box?

      Installation videos take a long time to make. If you need immediate help installing Windows Me on 86Box, please ask around in our Discord server.

      ME should be very similar to 98SE, follow the instructions in that vid if you need a shortcut

    • @DDXofficial
      @DDXofficial 2 місяці тому +2

      ​@@netdoll the hardware requirements differ quite a bit though. you need a much faster CPU (around 166 MHz) and some more RAM to go with it, but the rest of the specs from that 98 video should do it.

    Thanx for the video. I have forgotten all the setup quirks of networking on Win 95. My fist experience of Win 95 was buying a box of floppies with it on and installing it disk by disk. I didn't have a CD ROM in those days. I installed it on a PC with a Cyrix 486 DLC CPU that worked fine on DOS but a slow pig on Win 95. I still had a PC with Win 95 in a duel boot partition for video editing until about 2012. The main OS I used up to then was Win 2000.

    Support for FAT32, MMX, P6 and USB support was already introduced in OSR2 and OSR2.1. FAT32 support does not mean that large disks would not be supported without it, it is just more complicated (need to have more partitions). The main thing about OSR2.5 was that it saved the work of updating clients (if you used them) and also IE4. All these things could have been added to older versions, but it was extra work.

    IIRC, the CD detection issue for Win95 won't happen if your CD drive is your primary controller slave. When 95 was being made, most machines still only had a single IDE controller.

    Does anyone remember RealPlayer? How could anyone who grew up in dial-up internet days _not_ remember? RealPlayer was everywhere, and the RAM video format, too. It was actually quite good at buffering web-based video in an era when doing so was mostly infeasible.

    • @Michael_Knight823

      _I_ do. My dad stumbled upon a couple of websites back in the late '90s which required us to download RealPlayer, and we used it ever since, until RealNetworks basically let it stagnate while other, _better_ media players (e.g. VLC) cropped up later. Now, RealPlayer is just shovelware. And no, the "Plus" version is not worth the price.

    How do I get the games like Solitaire and Minesweeper? They are seemingly not included in my installation.

    Reminder that Microsoft tried to do away with the task bar with Windows 8. That didn't go so well for them.
    I remember themes from back in the day. Sometimes you would buy a game that came with its own themes that you could install. Command and Conquer: Red Alert was one of them.

    if you killed your amd xp cpu and thought you cant use it when you added your clloer and used to much force -The cpu might be salveble -the thing that breaks are the cache on top of the cpu so use a another cpu" disable cache" and then your Duron 1200 are like a pentium1 but at 1200mgz
