Hey Phil, I have a question. How demanding was Thief 1 back in the day? I'm using a Radeon 7500 PCI and a Pentium 3 600MHz and it still runs slow no matter the resolution, like sub30 fps.
ОтветитьGood stuff as usual Phil☺Keep up the good work.☺
ОтветитьThank you very much Phils !
ОтветитьWant to make your updates interesting? Every time you need a reboot, take a shot!
ОтветитьVery cool. I'd love to see a comprehensive windows 2000 update to "latest" video too.
ОтветитьInteresting. I wonder if there are any MS updates newer than what are on the official Microsoft February 2004 update CD.
After the trainwreck of the the newer versions of the unofficial SP# for Windows 98SE, I usually just use the MS update CD, NUSB, DirectX and whatever drivers I need.
I will have to try this one and good to know about the few other things included with this CD.
Just use legacyupdate instead easier
Ответитьmany thanks
ОтветитьHow “clean” is this compared to the Windows Me update pack? It requires less interactions?
ОтветитьI use to copy the instillation files to my computer after setup from CD, then just changed to installation path in the registry (for when it needs files to NOT ask me the location). By the way, I know XP's version of Outlook Express can still be used to connect to G-mail (and it is so fast), I wonder if it is the same with Windows 98
ОтветитьThx Mate very helpful and i hope to see more of your content ;)
ОтветитьCan I use this on an existing installation that has some updates installed via Windows Update Restored? Or is it better to use this on a fresh installation?
ОтветитьWill all the Components and Programs be installed in English language? Because I have my W98SE in Spanish. :S
ОтветитьDirectX9 handels textures and lightning diffently in games than DX 6,7,8 eg you might find overstaurated or overbright maps in you favorite games or like me in my maps i did to unral tournament -some stuff like transparent textures settings even might be corrupted
ОтветитьI used to burn the updates from microsoft on cdr when i had Windows Millenium - Still have them
ОтветитьI might give this a try. I currently don't have much on my 98 machine I tend to use the newest machine I can get something running well on. My modern machine places almost everything I have with my XP machine making up the bulk of the difference. I think I might just backup my save game/settings files and not the whole drive because that likely will be faster for me. And start fresh. I would love to find something a bit more stable. I have had some troubles with my mouse not working on some boots and not others. Also getting it on a home network share would be great especially if I can make it talk to my file server. Thanks for the project idea. You are an inspiration.
ОтветитьI would prefer a German version, there are also very good inofficial patches out there.
ОтветитьI should have counted the rebootss. That was a lot.
ОтветитьThis is not a complete official Windows 98 se software update package. Actually this is awesome topic. Personally Win98SE is my favourite classic os. I would love to finally see ultimate official win98 package with chance of choosing each program individually
ОтветитьI see many enthusiastic comments about this video but I wonder, what's the point of updating all those things? We are using windows 98 for retrogaming, why update internet explorer, media player and make windows heavier to run? Definitely some benchmarks before and after apply the updates would have been more interesting than see: next, next, reboot, next, next next, reboot
ОтветитьWhat a great video.. cheers.
ОтветитьHi Phil, es gibt auch eine automatisierte Windows ME Update Disk.
Die wird bald sogar geupdatet.
Vielleicht magst du dazu auch ein Video machen. :)
And why would I need to install these updates? Windows98 is no longer suitable for surfing the internet. Do retro games need these updates? I don't think so. Maybe someone can answer my questions.
ОтветитьWhat is the significance of installing IE 5.5 instead of 6.0 on Windows 98? Is there something in IE 6.0 that isn't good for a Retro PC?
ОтветитьI want a 86Box guide for Windows 95 on Linux please
ОтветитьWould have been cool to see some before and after benchmarks to see if all the updates affected performance at all, but cool to see that this has been made into such a simple process.
ОтветитьReboot Simulator 98
ОтветитьHoly OldSchuleCrap! Just what I(n' Socket 7 needs) 🙂
EDIT: NO XP onna' 400MHz K6-III AHX! (call me OLDer)
I wonder how this compares to windows update restored website.
ОтветитьI NEED this! You rock!
ОтветитьHappy Friday Phil!
ОтветитьFor the Intellipoint software, you were supposed to put in the “wheel mouse” so that you may use the scroll wheel
ОтветитьExcellent video. Very useful.
ОтветитьA video on the benefits of DirectX versions on Win98 would be interesting.
ОтветитьWill they work on the italian version of SE as well?
ОтветитьCool!
ОтветитьSo where is my 98 SE PC..? It might be in this room, I've moved.. Found it, it's under the box of LP's. It has a MSI KT3 Ultra and a Riva TNT 16MB. Not sure about the CPU. Hopefully I got a GPU with a DVI that fit in there, so I can get the picture too. Now got to go sleep.
ОтветитьI really hope that someone does the same for Windows 95.
ОтветитьAnother good reason to fire up my win98 PC again 😊❤ thanks for sharing
PS: I will report any issues, of course 😊
G'day Phil,
Ah the joy of updating the MANY MANY files of a Retro OS, so compilations like this are SOOOOO helpful.
Massive THANK YOU to CHA0SHACKER for building the update compilation for 98SE to help the Retro Community.
Still makes me sad that they kind of axed the fantastic boot sounds that 95, 98, ME/2000, and XP had. I forget that they even have them anymore, but I still love the Win95/Win98/Win2k startup sounds despite hearing them way too many times over the years (I used Win2k I got for free from my Uncle's work until XP SP2 came out, blew my 6th grade graduation money on a copy of XP SP2, and felt kind of let down with how it felt like mostly Win2K with a new theme... that I switched back to classic and never turned back).
To be fair, to the people confused by/annoyed at the number of reboots. Yes, they're annoying, but even decent hardware back then with a spinning rust hard drive would boot Win98SE from cold to desktop/login in no time at all. At my dad's office we ran 98SE on computers that came out nearly 10 years after Win2k launched on a closed network for an old database solution, and those minimum XP spec SFF PCs, even with spinning rust, would boot in seconds. Honestly, I wish we still had that setup, or Win2k/XP, instead of upgrading everything to Windows 7 and then 10/11. I'd pay to go back to those for the database (it works on new Windows... but like anything in a command prompt, it's jank at best to try and get "full screen" that they removed after XP) and just have a handful of old ThinkPads running openSUSE for them to use for web browsing/email/etc.
windows themes is compatible with Revolution Pack?
ОтветитьThanks for the video, Phil!!! :-)
Ответитьthey just miss drivers ;)
ОтветитьThanks Phil.
ОтветитьThis I'd a major timesaver Phil, much appreciated! The only real way to improve it would be to rebuild the 98se iso to have installed all the updates. Not like nlite that tacks them on, but built right into the base installer. It wouldn't make sense to do that with any version of Windows that wasn't well and truly dead, but 98se definitely is, so… The major questions you have on install really are DX 7 or 9, etc.
ОтветитьKinda surprised this doesn't mention microsoft plus!. unless that just didn't add much under the hood on 98. I think it didd at least add high color icons and font smoothing.
Otherwise yeah this looks like a neat option for just a fully up to date install as far as official microsoft components goes.
I think it'd be neat if someone tried like, custom building Wine DLLs and things for windows 98/retro PCs to see just how much modern APIs can be supported. I don't suspect anything all that much further for direct3d, but other things maybe.
Отличные новости! Благодарю!
ОтветитьI initially thought this was something that Microsoft released at the time, but it's cool how these have all been collected by the community.
ОтветитьFYI, I do get a virus alert from Avast for a Trojan from that download, which then gets blocked. There were 3 files flagged, two for Internet Explorer and another bat file. Probably false, and not important for a W98 setup not using the internet. Still, wanted to let you know that my scans showed some concerns.
