My desktop system still runs 98SE. I can't get Brothers in Arms to install
as the installer seems to want an NT kernel. I'm wondering if this is a case
like Doom3 where the game is not intended for 98SE but will work with a hack
if you can get it installed. Please, if anyone here has any ideas or
pointers, will you let me know? For the time being I can play it on my
laptop, which has a faster CPU and ram, but a slower video card with less
memory.
It's probably too early at this point to find a 98 hack for this game. When
I got Doom3 it had already been out for months.
I know, it's time to upgrade my OS. I should have bought XP when I got the
system in fall 2001. I plan to leave 98 on this box, make it the "TV gaming"
system for MAME and older games, and get a nice fast A64 based system for my
desktop.
If you're curious, my specs:
P4 1.8
512MB PC800RDRAM
128MB Radeon 9800 Pro
SB Audigy
Win98SE
(Doom 3 hacked for 98 runs very well with all effects on at medium quality,
same with Half Life2 and Far Cry. I think P4s around this speed perform much
better with the RD ram...)
The laptop:
Compaq Presario R3060
Desktop P4 CPU @ 2.66
512MB PC2700DDR
64MB Mobility Radeon 9200 (dedicated)
Soundmax
WinXP Home sp2
(Pretty kickass when I got it Feb 2004. Not so hot now. It runs Battlefield
1942/Desert Combat like butter, which was my minimum requirement for a
laptop at the time. It's good enough to run Doom3 all effects on at 640x480,
runs Half Life 2 quite well with slightly conservative settings..I am still
able to use high quality textures)
