Are there any players that will decode on a non-MMX CPU? I'm trying a 360p MPEG1 on a Pentium Pro 200@233 mhz and ATI Rage Pro Turbo PCI. The enhanced driver from the ATI Rage 5.30 CD didn't make a difference under Win98's media player and the ATI player gives an error on non-MMX CPU.

I can't download any older ATI players or Cinemaster older than Cinemaster 99; all the links I could find are dead 😒

Builds:

  • ECS FX-3000; 386DX-40@50; ET4000AX, ISA 1mb
  • Acer VI9; 486DLC-40; Mach32, VLB 2mb
  • Chicony CH-471A; CX486s-40; Mach32, VLB 2mb
  • Gateway 2000 P5-60; Pentium-60@66; S3 928, PCI 3mb
  • DTK PKM-0033S; AM5x86-133@160

Oldest Win9x ATi DVD player should be version 1.2 that i know and oldest ATi Video player for Win9x Rage Pro should be ATi Video Player 5.0. ATi Video Players have even in Windows 3.x version. I would check out Mach64 Video Players also (Rage Pro is Mach64). I would start with ATi Video Player V2.22 and and Video Player v3.1. Probably there are other versions out there to check out.

ATI Video Player v3.1
