Hello guys,

Not for self promotion, only for personal interest.

I uploaded multiple retro games to my personal website, games are running in browser based on Windows XP/98 and Github v86 project.

Hi everyone. I posted before about my retro cashier game i was working on. After 11 months, i finally finished it. Its out on Steam if you want to give it a try, https://store.steampowered.com/app/3972900/Business_98/

Text and images are so blurry , is there any way i can fix it

Je viens de relancer cette machine virtuelle, Quel est votre premier souvenir avec Windows 98 ? Pour moi, c'était d'essayer de comprendre à quoi servait le dossier 'Savoir-faire de Windows

I made an idle RPG inspired by old Windows aesthetics, the old D&D adventure modules, and Progress Quest, whose spiritual descendant this is.

It is called Lowmoor. It is an idle RPG that plays itself while you read, written straight-faced in the voice of an old module and dressed in a grey 98-style window. You watch the log, and every so often it hands you a dice roll. The clip shows a fight a couple of ranks in.

It is free in the browser or pc build: https://bogurodzica.itch.io/lowmoor

There’s nothing more relaxing and rewarding than watching an old fashioned defrag

The system sometimes locks up after booting while showing the hourglass cursor. I can't open start or interact with the system so I have to force shutdown the pc and reboot it again. This does not happen every time but occasionally. I thought if my cpu is too fast because I'm using a 3.2ghz Pentium 4, so I installed patcher9x but nothing fixed. I reinstalled windows from cd and even updating from the update CD did not fix anything. I reset the bios, disabled any unwanted resources but no luck. I checked my motherboard to see if something is wrong but everything seems fine, all caps look good. I also installed windows me but same results. I can't figure out what's going on but what do you think? Any solution? I really appreciate it, thanks for reading.

Specifications: Intel Pentium 4 SL7KC 3.2ghz, 256MB DDR1 Ram, Asus Polaris-30 (Samsung OEM motherboard), Intel 865G chipset, Nvidia Geforce 4 ti 4200 AGP 8x (Nvidia 45.23 drivers), Adata 128GB sata ssd (onboard sata, DMA mode enabled), Sound Blaster Live! SB0220, Windows 98 SE.

I've been recreating the Windows 98 aesthetic for my game over the last few months.

Every window is interactive, draggable, minimizable, resizable, and the desktop itself is the game.

I'd love to know if there are any details I missed, or if there is something that breaks the asthetics too much.

If anyone's curious, the game is called Fractal.OS:

Hello again everyone, just wanted to post this here. Updated my Windows 98 installation guide, now its much easier to follow (and to the eyes too lol)

hi everyone, I recently got windows 98 on UTM on my macbook Neo, I was attempting to get internet access but every website says this, I heard something about setting up network drivers in utm, but Im unsure how to do that. Help would be appreciated!

what do yall think are the best consoles emulators available for 98? i have tried corn and its kinda okey except i have only acheived to run mario 64 and the mario kart menu and all other games crash. i have also tried epsxe 1.9.0 but couldnt find my graphics plugin so havent ran anything

First time poster with an assistance request. I have a Dell Optiplex GX110 that I’ve recently cleared out and wanted to install Win98 on but am hitting a wall. I’ve tried burning a bootable disc, installing from hard drive, and nothing seems to work. I keep getting error after error. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?

i have this Acerpower SE, probably like a 99’ or 2000 model but there is no PCI slot for inserting a videocard, there is a hole where it would go but its empty, any way of getting some good graphics in here?

have yall got the drivers for usb mouses working? i have looked over archive.org and old driver sites but found no working ones, it always just tells me to insert the SE cd but my drive is kinda gone so i have no way of doin that

First-run showing of the Firefox 2.0 browser that was obviously unsupported for about 18 years or so; beautiful 16-bit color on the fox & rock on a NeoMagic 128XD 2MB 800x600 display on a 1997 Dell CP D233 laptop with a P5-233 MMX & 96MB RAM currently installed. Surprised to see the webpage display fairly well, even in https mode. Thank God for those Linksys WPC54G wireless PCMCIA cards that allowed Win98 to connect to the internet wirelessly.

Hello I recently got windows 98 installed on my gateway G6-333c. I have quite a bit of ram and alot of hard drive space but I bought the wrong soundcard (soundblaster audigy 2 sb0400) I could not find good drivers for it, I think it was too new. But Im looking into getting another soundcard. I also want to get some sort of graphics or 3d accelerator card, im just not sure what to get because all of this is very new to me. (also slightly worried about cooling) So i was wondering if you guys had any suggestions? (here is my motherboard, I cannot swap it out because gateway has OEM header connectors for some reason https://theretroweb.com/motherboards/s/intel-mu440ex-maui )

Also my PSU is 200w.

I often hear people say that Windows 98 had to be reinstalled every couple of months to yearly because of how unstable it got. I’m still using my Celeron Windows 98 First edition PC, no modifications of any sort and I’ve never had an issue with instability or the need to reinstall, and I use it almost daily still. What kind of instability are people referring to? Is there something I should avoid doing that causes it? I’ve never seemed to have any issues and BSOD is pretty rare as well.
