Reminder that if you want to use a menu driver with GDI, it’s best to use the RGUI menu driver.I've been talking about the future of the "desktop" on the cloud for years now. Bparker might be able to use some help with getting some of those niggles sorted out. There are still issues remaining with this GDI driver though on certain OS configurations. For this release, we added OSD font rendering to it. * For lower-end GPU hardware where neither Direct3D 9 or OpenGL is desirable or possible (because you don’t have hardware accelerated 3D video drivers), a GDI video driver is also available. Neither MaterialUI and/or XMB will render properly as of yet with Direct3D. If you want to use Direct 3D 9, you should only use the menu driver RGUI with it. * In most cases, your GPU driver will probably support Direct3D 9. In case you have such a GPU, you could opt to use the OpenGL driver which should be more full-featured than our GDI and/or Direct3D9 drivers. This GPU series should support OpenGL 2.0 and there should still be drivers somewhere available for Windows 98. There is one exception apparently, which is the nVidia Geforce 6 series. * Keep in mind that Windows 98 SE GPU drivers in most cases won’t support OpenGL 2.0. Here are some general hints and advice in case you want to run RetroArch on your retro battle station: Fortunately, most of our cores can happily compile as either C89 and/or C++98, so backporting is not as big an issue for it as it would be for other projects which are not as careful when it comes to code maintenance. For instance, cores that rely on C11 (like SameBoy) or C++11/C++14 (like Dinothawr/Dolphin/Citra) will not make the cut. ![]() Note that because it’s Visual Studio 2005/MSVC2005 we are relying on as our compiler, certain cores might never become available for this. We now have 29 cores available on our buildbot! You can get them by starting your copy of RetroArch 1.6.4 and going to Online Updater -> Update Cores. Upon release however, there were no cores. So we announced a Visual Studio 2005 version of RetroArch this past week which runs on Windows 98 SE / Millennium / 2000. " Release highlights Windows 98 SE/2000/Millennium Edition version – now with 29 cores! In case we could run it on OS9 either with VPC or Soft*. Only on 3dfx gear? Are all ATI and nVidia out?Īnyway, more info about retroarch over W98SE/ME/2000. QuickTime's MIDI playback engine is used for most of the in-game music which relied on a Soundblaster card with MIDI capabilities. Need for Speed, Warcraft (original), Duke Nukem (2D), Rise of the Triad, Jazz the JackRabbit, Command and Conquer, etc. DOS-only games run perfectly on older Mac hardware. I believe there is a download for version 1.1 on the Mac Repository, which was an update to support Win98SE and OS9. ![]() There are networking capabilities via Open Transport so it's possible to get online. It runs really smooth on my Sawtooth G4 under Mac OS 8.6 (or OS9). If you feel like traveling back in time, it's worth giving it a go. Windows 95 with MS Office was quite usable even on that PowerPC 601 hardware. EDIT: With support back to System 7.1.2 for minimum Mac OS overhead. RealPC shipped with MS-DOS and was the fastest x86 emulator back when a Power Macintosh 7100/66 was my main machine (Mac OS 8.1). I was an early adopter of RealPC, which was from Insignia, prior to SoftWindows (later purchased by FWB).
