It should work, but you need to update the root certs. https://msfn.org/board/topic/177534-how-to-ac … 18-2021/page/2/

It does work work for some titles in Win9x. Re: What retro activity did you get up to today? Which is also stated in first post of the thread in your previous source

1207 is an official NO-CD patch, which also disables the CD rom usage, thus no music. I researched this a many years ago and never found a easy solution. Please check https://revolt.fandom.com/wiki/Soundtracks and specifically inmm.dll solution, it might work for Win9x.

Hi Mumak, on my LGA 775 build with an q6600 there are some core temperature discrepancy between aida64, speedfan and HWiNFO. The two other is consistent while HWiNFO is reporting higher values. Attached you will find the debug file and below some screenshots. Capture.PNG This is most probably due …

Dawn of War - Soulstorm works if copied from a installer supported operating system. I can't remember at this very moment if the ripped game folder also needed KernelEx though. Perhaps. Doom 3 works with KernelEx. It does not need KernelEx tho, as the EXE also can be hex edited into working on win9x …
Re: Finding correct Creative Alchemy settings?
Posted on 2020-04-16, 15:27
Cool! My own experience is that the individual settings rarely if ever needs any tweaking so the main concern for me has always been to check up the audio source instead. It is of importance as it dictates whether alchemy is needed or not at all. The only time I had to adjust the settings is when I …

Re: My WinME + WinXP Setups

Now I've thought about a Win98 or WinME setup. As I have a E5800 + 2x Corsair XMS 256MB at home and think about a Mobo with Intel 865PE (ASRock ConRoe865PE) or 865G Chip (ASRock 775i65G R3.0). But which GPU? Geforce FX? Geforce4? Which components could make trouble with old games? Does a Glide …

Re: CUV4X - Powerleap Tualatin Build
Posted on 2020-02-26, 19:48
This machine has been such a pain in the butt. Well I finally got around to taking some pics today, after lots of testing I've reached the conclusion that the combo of this motherboard and powerleap adaptor will NOT run at 133mhz fsb. P3 1.0 (133fsb) runs fine at 133mhz and 100mhz (no powerleap) P3 …
Re: Disappointing Windows XP gaming performance

That cpu @ 2.2 GHz is not going to meet your expectations. Go for P4 3+GHz. EDIT: Checking your MB i found out it is an 533FSB and P4 3.06GHz is the best you can put in it. I would suggest you find yourself a 800 FSB motherboard to gain some versatility when it comes to choosing the cpu.
Re: HWiNFO support of vintage hardware
Posted on 2020-02-15, 18:59
EIST doesn't affect FSB, the issue here is different. HWiNFO properly calculates the actual clock (4500Mhz), but then thinks this rate is based on max clock (x14) and needs to be adjusted due to EIST reducing clock to x12. This results in improperly adjusted clock -> wrongly divided FSB -> mem …

Actually i'm not even sure EIST is working properly with these cpus even tho Intel specs it on their website as i've never seen it regulate fsb even when not overclocked, just the multipliers between 14-12x, ie C1E.

CPU-Z shows the correct speed of 4500Mhz and correct FSB of 375 and also correct DRAM speed of 600 (1200mhz). The MB, CPU or whatever it is might report EIST enabled but it is in effect not functional as the lowest multiplier the chip can do is 12x which has been manually already set in bios. It …

Can you look into Intel Pentium D 965 EE and Xeon 5080 dempsey issues: When overclocking they both report wrong cpu speed bus clock when overclocked with custom multiplier in bios. In my case, the correct values should be 12x multiplier, fsb is 375 which drives a 4500Mhz cpu speed and the dram …
