what exactly is windows 2000?

>>43298347
idk its fly old

>>43298347
The best OS MS ever created.

>>43298383
rly
damn

>>43298393
i dunno anon. I havn't heard of it, so it must not be that great.

>>43298404
Wait, are you actually asking what Windows 2000 is? Are you that young? Even if you are, that doesn't excuse you not knowing about it in the same way you should learn about the Spectrum, Commodore and Amstrad computers if you don't know what they are.

>>43297987
I want to learn to make games for mame, but I would like just a compiler that spits out a mame ready image.

Is this possible?

This thread is off to a good start. /g/ is cancer

>>43298427
MAME is an emulator of various arcade systems.
You would have to make it for a platform that is being emulated.

>>43298426
I'm an adult anon. I konw about spectrum, commodore, and amstrant, but never heard of windows 2000 before.

>>43298427
I don't know a single thing about programming for MAME but bear in mind MAME stands for "Multiple arcade machine emulator", so it actually it is many emulators in one.

You should first choose which platform to target, although I'm pretty sure you won't find many SDKs (if any).

>>43298458
OK then. Windows 2000 was the successor to Windows NT 4. You can think of it as the father of Windows XP.

Before WinXP home users and professional (workstation) users had different kernels and OS architectures. So, Windows 9x and ME had a DOS (kinda) based architecture, whereas Win2K had a proper 32 bits kernel.

tl;dr: Win2K was like WinXP without the bloat.

>>43298445
Do any of these arcade systems have compilers and other such tools that I could use?

>>43298347

>>43298494
wait. I think I remember windows 2000. it was shit and I'm glad I upgraded to windows xp as soon as it came out.

>>43298550
you don't need to be a dick anon. I only asked a question, I didn't break the "we are not your personal tech support" rule. you're breaking the rules by being aggressive and malicious

>>43298542
As I too am curious about that question, I'll look into it.
SNK's Neo-Geo MVS system might.

Also, if one were really so inclined, you could write in assembler for a platform, and there are tons of datasheets and technical documentation for these systems floating around out there.

Motorola 68000 and Zilog Z80 are probably the most common microprocessors in late 80s and throughout the 90s arcade systems.

>>43298494
Ok, so although I may not find many SDK's even if I have to write my own functions to draw even a simple line on the screen and such in ASM at least a few of these consoles must be well documented somewhere if they've been emulated?

>>43298585
You're probably mixing up Windows ME with Windows 2000.

The only problem Windows 2000 had is some games didn't work with it, since it was never intended to be an general purpose OS.

Don't bash Win2K or I'll glass you, cunt.

>>43298634
nah. windows ME was great, never had a problem with it.

I had problems with games on windows 2000, why they never tried to fix that in development. I'll never know

>>43298657
Windows 2000 wasn't really designed with gaming in mind. It was more for professional work.

Windows ME has a bad reputation, but similarly I had very few problems working with it. I enjoy 2000 as well, though.

>>43298617
I honestly don't know. I guess some MAME dev or a crazy Jap published that kind of info. It must be somewhere, at least for simple 8-bit hardware.

>>43298657
Like I said, it was aimed strictly at workstations.
In the end though (when SP4 was released) most of the games worked all right and even those that didn't were easily patchable to work.

I distinctly remember Need for Speed 4 not working straight out of the box but with a little tweak it was running just fine.

>>43298684
>>43298688
yeah, but why would they try to advertise it as both a client and server OS? that's stupid. if I'm gonna buy an OS to play vidya, I don't want a bunch of server shit to come with it. that's why I found windows ME better.

>>43298617
These might interest you:
https://wiki.neogeodev.org/index.php?title=Development_tools

Hell, you could probably make use of them targeting other platforms, as well. The NeoGeo mostly used COTS components, shared by many others.

>>43298583
>http://umlautllama.com/projects/pacdocs/
Thanks, really cool info there, especially the commented disassembly of ms. Pacman.

>>43298601
That would be cool, the neo geo was pretty much for fighting games, right?

I've played with assembler on super nintendo and sega genesis consoles, but never made anything substantial other than coloring the screen. I really want to do this more for the learning experience I would gain.

Windows 2000 had many versions. One was server and another one was Professional.

Win2K professional was never sold to end users, I can assure you it was never marketed to play vidya.

Still, I could play almost anything with it. I installed it for the first time by the time SP2 was released and it worked just fine. Some guy even made a wrapper so as to make sound work for DOS games run under Win2K.

It had the stability of WinXP with requirements a little bit over Win98, which I found great.

>I really want to do this more for the learning experience I would gain.
Quite admirable, anon.
Although the hardware itself may be considered deprecated and impractical for modern use, there is always something to be obtained from knowledge and experience.

The Neo-Geo also had some other genres of games, as well.
Weird thing about the systems graphical capability, there aren't different tile layers (background, objects, etc) like other systems at the time, nor is it able to rotate, resize, scale/skew/translate sprites. Makes up for it by the cartridges being able to store a metric fuckton of frame sprites and the hardware being able to display a fuckton of them at once.

video games were often the main selling point for computers. so yeah, they were built around and advertized based on how advanced the games were.

if you did the research, you would know that.

That is kind of odd, I can deal with it though since I'm probably not going to make the absolute best game ever lol.

Yes, something about developing for old hardware just seems amazing to me. Probably the fact that you can utilize the full system's resources due to the hardware constraint.

>Yes, something about developing for old hardware just seems amazing to me. Probably the fact that you can utilize the full system's resources due to the hardware constraint.

How do you feel about working on a system and programming it to only do one thing, but that one thing extremely fast and efficiently?
If that sounds interesting to you, you should look into working on Embedded Systems. Sounds up your alley. Older architectures are fairly common and still in use in that sector.

>>43299259
I have a Matrox G450 DualHead in AGP, and it works on 2000 out of the box. Needs drivers for proper resolutions, though.

Is there a good torrent search engine for Windows 9x games?

1989
I was 3 and i remember Basic from the first computer my father had, a Sony MSX Hit Bit, shit was awesome, games and and programs from cartridge and magnetic tape, it also had a floppy unit that weights like a whole modern cpu.

>>43299329
Voodoo 3 is probably a fairer comparison to the G450, but 3DFx still generally had better 3D acceleration. And S3 cards (Trio or ViRGE) had some good VESA VBE support and performance under DOS. Other than tham, Matrox cards are probably THE workstation card for the time. Output quality is so damn sharp. Even today, they make a videocard that supports a duodecuple-display setup of medical-imaging-grade monitors.

>>43299382
Not torrent sites, but.
GamesWin
Demu
Both sites have DOS and 9x games.
As for torrent sites, Bitsnoop might be able to sniff out some more obscure torrents.

Older computers like vaccume tube computers weren't really computers due to lack of CPU. computers weren't around till the mid 70's

you don't need an IC to have a "real" computer, CPU's themselves are nothing more than collections of thousands or millions of logic gates on a single piece of silicon.

Although the Macs and the IBM PCs both had their uses, mainly desktop publishing for Mac and enterprise-resource planning for PCs, the IBM PC really could have benefited from the graphical capability the Macs had.

There was the Hercules Graphics Adapter, which for the time was fucking neat; just wish it had better adoption. By the early-to-mid 90s, most systems had very similar levels of capability, so it kind of started to not matter.

>>43300514

A few months ago I started on a project PC I haven't really finished. Its a Baby-AT-formfactor Pentium MMX 200 machine. Doesn't have PS/2 interface header so the only mouse I can use is a serial. Tried wiring a logitech ps/2 mouse to DB-9 with a pinout guide, but I am a klutz.
Looking around thrift stores, craiglist, and such and shit for serial mice, but yet to find one. Shit ton of PS/2, and even AT keyboards.

Still able to use it, though. Was able to install, and for the most part use, Windows 95 with a keyboard alone. But its not pleasant to use. So I just boot into DOS and play in that. Still, a mouse would be nice.

Listen, I remember Windows ME. I also remember it crashing every other day and seeing the Active Desktop error regularly.

that being said, a lot of it was AOL's fault, but one application shouldn't be bringing the whole machine to a halt

I also remember Windows 2000. It's pretty much ME but with the more stable NT kernel. That shit was great unless you were trying to run DOS shit or 95 shit that didn't even entirely right in 98/ME (which was a lot more common than you'd expect, fair few old-ass doujin games have that problem, and I've seen at least one commercial title that only wanted to work on 95 (can't remember the name, been years, it'd be nice if I still had my CD-ROM and floppy tower, haha)).

If he was crazy, maybe he could try to recompile some programs for it. The WinCE API is pretty much the Windows API.

I should add; SimCity is notable for supporting almost every possible graphics mode, CGA, Tandy, EGA low-res, EGA high-res, Hercules, EGA mono, VGA mono.

VGA color modes weren't supported though until a later release SimCity Classic which dropped CGA/Tandy/EGA low-res and added support for Mode 12 and 13.

I'm running it on two systems right now (>>43301822 and a Toshiba Libretto 110CT) and using them daily. It behaves pretty much the same, except for of course the lack of good DOS/PnP support which I don't really care much for anyway.

Honestly, I enjoy using it more than 9x, networking was a fucking breeze to set up.

>>43301528
Lots of SATA cards out there, and I'm pretty sure you can find yourself a nice Gbit ethernet card too.

If you want raid, go with real hardware or simple linux software raid. That raid controller you have on your motherboard is bullshit. Linux raid is more portable, and if your motherboard dies, you can just bring that real hardware controller to a different machine.

Thinking about using my coppermine as a fileserver here, but I'll probably get a dedicated machine for it due to my preference for source based distributions. Compiling the kernel on my low end C2D took long enough.

>>43303200
Speaking of SATA, there is a driver available for ACHI support on NT 3.51, NT4, and 2000.

Will games made for Windows 95 and 98 run under ME and 2000?

I'm going through old parts and I have a Geforce2 64mb AGP card and a Willemette P4 1.7 mobo with 512mb RAM. What would be the best OS setup for games from the mid nineties to early 2000's?

>>43302324
neat certainly something to think about. just kind of concerned about energy use but p3s really arent too bad

>>43303391
iirc the Coppermines are like 30W. my sff machine with a 1GHz P3 is completely passively cooled, the only fan in the case is in the PSU.

>>43303391
The max TDP of the Pentium III-866 is 30.8W. However, average TDP at full load can be around 26.9W.

>>43303469
Yep.
Except for the Katmais, all Pentium 3s generally took 30W or less at load.
Worse P3 TDP is the Katmai 600MHz, which takes 42.76W at full load. Still better than any Pentium 4.

For best power efficiency, don't use Win9x, its kernel doesnt support CPU HLT instructions to stay properly idle.
And I wouldn't use NT as your server OS if your server is facing the internet. As a LAN server, though, it might be fine as long as you can actually get gigabit ethernet to work.

>>43303309
>Will games made for Windows 95 and 98 run under ME
ME is just a tarted up Windows 98.
>and 2000
2000 is NT-based, so some things might have problems.

>>43303309
>What would be the best OS setup for games from the mid nineties to early 2000's?

Probably a Pentium II with Windows 9x and a period 3D card.

>>43303675
You don't have to bump a thread after three minutes.

>>43303569
thanks for info. my standard OS is Debian and I avoid using proprietary OSes

>>43303710
Sure.
You might want to consider using an alternative CPU Power Governor or thermal management daemon instead of the one enabled by default in the kernel.

Check this page out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_frequency_scaling

Although its for Arch, since Debian is now switching to systemd as its default init daemon, "service" management works the same way.

>>43303812
Finding information on that stuff got a little harder for me now. Pretty much everyone updated their information for systemd instead of just messing with files in /sys. My distro has no plans for a systemd migration yet. They don't seem that interested in migrating either.

>>43303812
u sure P3s even support frequency scaling? i thought pentiumMs were the first to support it

thanks for link regardless, as is useful for my P-Ms and Core2s for sure

>>43304048
Yeah, since Coppermine.
Pentium M had what was called "Enhanced Speedstep." Something voltage-related.

Can someone repost those links to Palm OS freeware.

No, I'm sorry, but regardless of what 13 year olds think, Windows 98 is not retro. We should ban everything >1994 from these threads.

I threw away some NT4 install CDs, a Sam's book, and all my MCSE training course manuals today. Our new parent company has a policy that only VPs and CxOs get offices, so middle management pissants like me are getting booted out into cubes. Had to downsize. Feelsbadman.

If they were going to throw them away, its not like they would care if you took them.

>>43305548

Can't remember the last time I looked at them for anything. Threw away my NetWare books too. Been a hell of a long time since I referenced any of them.

I love Windows NT. Too bad there's no Plug and Play and DirectX. Unreal and Quake still work if you don't use D3D mode in Unreal, and Quake 3 uses OpenGL so it works fine. On NT 3.51 I have got Unreal engine games to run, but this is in a VM.

>>43302678
It is exactly the same as Win95. If you installed IE 4 with the "Desktop Update" it would look somewhat like 98, but I can't get IE 4-6 and the Desktop Update to install anymore since MS took down the IE 6 install server.

>>43305968
Correction: NT does have DirectX 3 when you install all the service packs, but you won't be able to run most games with Direct3D.

>>43305949
I think there is a build available that is buggy as hell.
Also, there are SATA drivers for DOS that you can load up in your CONFIG.SYS.
Don't remember what theyre called at the moment, but they are on the Software List at FreeDOSs site.

>>43301822
I love workstation PCs too. Windows NT was a good workstation OS but there were lots of Sun/SGI workstations in use at that time. My dad told me today that his boss wanted some ideas on what would be a good cheap workstation PC for around $1200 that is good at AutoCAD and Solidworks. I came up with a Dell Precision, HP Z30, and Lenovo ThinkStation for them to choose from. It feels good to know that the workstation PC is alive and well, even in the age of shitty tablets, because people actually need to do work.

>>43302807
I sometimes have networking issues with NT, always have to set up a static IP because the DHCP service always fucks up. Also on some machines, I get shit saying "Not enough server storage" so the Computer Browser and Server services can't start, and the registry trick doesn't fix it.

>>43306072

I've got a Dual Pentium Pro 200 workstation running NT 4 as well but for some reason they didn't install a fucking VRM for the second chip, so it's sitting in my garage until I can source a new one.

I want to find a dual-processor IntelliStation or a Kayak to replace it eventually as my main NT system.

>>43306101

So far networking has been bretty nice, I always set a static IP anyway. Even detected my NIC right out of the box.

Video was another thing though, fucking FireGL

>>43305815
If you need an NT4 install disk, go download a damn ISO somewhere.

>>43306256
I think of dual Pentium Pros as the classic Windows NT rig, because they had two processors and they didn't do 16-bit code as well as they should have, so NT was the superior OS. Of course, Linux and OS/2 worked great too, I would imagine. But Windows 95 was sucky on that hardware due to all the 16-bit code, and if you wasted tons of money on that expensive machine just to run 95, then you were in trouble.

>>43306402

no shit m8, did I upset you?

got the original media as well, they made a shit ton of disks, throwing out one or two isn't really a big deal

>>43306418

Plus if you were running 95 you basically wasted a grand or two on that second processor since 9x, the hacked-up piece of garbage it is, can't utilize it.

I don't know if I've ever seen someone running OS/2 on one of those aside from maybe having it pre-installed on an IBM workstation.

>>43306475
I have never seen OS/2 or NT 3.1/4 running on real hardware.

>>43306492
Fuck yeah, time for this video:
http://youtu.be/-DAojx2Hgec

>>43306015
IIRC they're built in to FreeDOS or loaded in the default config.sys.

>>43306492

I've never seen the actual hardware that would have been running the latter myself and I've been doing this for quite a while.

I'm sure it was probably mostly used in high-end workstation and server systems like HP NetServers or Compaq Systempros.

>>43306492
I had NT 3.51 installed on my Green Machine for a while. In a real life setting I never knew of anyone who ever used it. I'm 19 years old and I have still seen plenty of Win 3.1 machines in use. I never saw OS/2 either but I know that some people actually used it.

>>43306656

The hardware was so expensive that unless you worked in a big enterprise or you collect that kind of shit you won't see it very often.

People today bitch about muh apple overpricing, kek, try paying the price of an entry-level sportscar for some of that shit back then.

>>43306702
I heard that the Windows NT RAM requirements were really steep, way more than 95. After a few years that wasn't really as much of a problem though since computers could handle the overhead and benefit from the performance of NT. The Pentium Pro machines were like 15 grand or something like that back in 1995 IIRC.

>>43306742
NT 4 needed 32MB while 95 used only 4 and 98 16MB.

>>43306475
>>43306418
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Windows 95, is in fact, MS-DOS/Windows 95, or as I've recently taken to calling it, MS-DOS plus Windows 95. Windows 95 is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning MS-DOS system made useful by the MS-DOS boot sequence, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by Microsoft.
Many computer users run a modified version of the MS-DOS system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of MS-DOS which is widely used today is often called Windows 95, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the MS-DOS system, developed by Microsoft.
There really is a Windows 95, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Windows 95 is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Windows 95 is normally used in combination with the MS-DOS operating system: the whole system is basically MS-DOS with Windows 95 added, or MS-DOS/Windows 95. All the so-called Windows 95 distributions are really distributions of MS-DOS/Windows 95!

>>43306759
And somehow, NT 4 never did get USB support while 98 had a fairly complete implementation.

>>43306767
Fuck off with your stale copypaste.

>>43306742

NT 3.1 recommended around 16 MB of RAM and a 486 in an era when the 386SX and even the 286 were still in vogue and the average RAM compliment was 2-4 MB.

And yes, that shit was damn expensive, I think my Vectra XU was around $12000 new and it's running on at least another $1-2000 in upgrades.

>>43306788

There are generic mass storage drivers that function pretty well as long as you're running the latest service pack.

>>43306788
There are working third party drivers for NT 4, however flash drives do not work even if they are FAT16 formatted or NTFS.

I have seen Windows 3.1, WfW 3.11, 95, 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, and 8 running on real hardware. Never seen 3.0, NT 3.1, or NT 4. I probably saw ME somewhere but don't remember it.

>>43306702
I don't think people look at what the machines are, and what kind of machines they compete with.

It is easy to say an i5-based video games PC is cheaper than a Mac Pro, but a Mac Pro was never made to compete with your average enthusiast built video game PC. It is a workstation.

Same goes for the Mac mini. It is the cheapest mac. Dead silent under normal desktop-tier loads, 14W idle, small footprint, it is simply not made to compete with ATX sized systems with i3-i5 CPUs and mid tier graphics cards. Mine idles at 55W, and it is silent, but it is still pretty noisy when compared to the Mac mini sitting on the same desk.

I walked through the electronics section at a warehouse with my father one time. He was surprised by how expensive the high end mac they had on display was. I think it was about 2000 dollars. He pays his bills and listens to music using a high end dell he paid 3000 dollars for.

>>43306821

I had 8MB in my Windows 95 computer. It wasn't enough for anything. My mother in her infinite wisdom decided to pay for a 64MB upgrade tho. I think a more modest 16 or 32MB would've been just as good. I can't think of anything that needed a whole 72MB back then. Could've spent the rest of the money on some other better upgrades.

She still does that kind of shit. Just walks into a store and buys whatever the sales guy is in the mood for that day.

nope

but if you have GNU/Linux it comes with gcc, which IIRC has compilers for all the chip architectures in mame (the later ones like MIPS, PPC, ARM etc) if you look at the source for the mame drivers for the cabinet you want to target you should have everything you need to configure gcc to compile a bin. go to the mame forums and ask there.

it might be easier to target the retroarch framework, which'll put your game onto all the pc's, smartphones, and every console more powerful than the wii. or love2d which is good for noobs.

Not as good as the Commodore Amiga

Only Amiga makes it possible

Glorious. I actually just made my gf sit through War Games this week. It got me to search around for some for sale, they'll set you back $2000 - $2500 in fairly questionable condition. The actual one from War Games is also apparently for sale in the $20k - $25k range. I really wish someone would put together a retro cabinet of it like they did with the Altair.

So was GEOS for the C64. It may have actually been the first case of a software company that ruined itself with DRM.

DOS 6.22/WfW 3.11 or 95 if there's enough RAM.

I got a Geforce 2 MX400 working with Win98 @ 1920x1080x32bpp. It feels god damn weird.

"GNU" isn't "the" Linux vendor, nor is it a Linux distro, so you need the slash. You meant "GNU/Linux" (interpreted as "GNU over Linux" in the same way that "1/2" is "1 over 2").

Even then, it's hard to justify calling it GNU/Linux in a desktop distro because Stallman's rationale is that the only parts that count as part of the OS for naming purposes are what you need to run terminal-mode Emacs. (He's lawyering the definition of "the OS" to a 1980s state to favour his viewpoint). X11 is a larger part (both in amount of code and significance to API compatibility) of "Linux" than GNU componentry (especially so if the computer doesn't have GCC installed), so it's X11/Linux by that logic. (And "X11; Linux" is what you'll find if you look into the Firefox User-Agent string.)

The only GNU component that has any relevance to the platform itself is glibc (The GNU C library) and that's the non-X11 distinction between Android and Ubuntu. (If you don't consider it to be "Android vs. X11", then, by process of elimination, Android must be a whole-distro name.) Android chose to use a glibc-incompatible libc (Bionic) and, if they hadn't, there'd be no justification for not calling it "X11/Linux".

Wow! Well it is quite a card, all 64mb of it. I have one also and used it in my P4 daily driver with 1600 x 900 display until 2010 or so. It only starts to choke on video past 480p. It plays DVD's just fine.

>>43314711
what the fuck, i think you're in the wrong thread chief

I have a compaq contura 3 25

It's pretty based for desktop autism, even though it's a buggy piece of shit.

>>43314780
It seems to be a 32MB version. GLQuake runs quite average at 1920x1080x16 though.

Was in the process of putting netbsd on my mobilepro 790, but it looks like it doesn't support the oldest networking card I have, I'll have to grab one off ebay or something.

at an old job, we had a mix of 95/98/2000/NT4/ and XP machines. there was even a dos pc, and another running windows 3.0. we were constantly doing minor maintenance to the 9X and XP machines, but the users with the NT4 boxes rarely ever had any issues.
my boss even seriously considered moving all of the company computers to NT4, but that plan fell through because XP was cheaper since it was included with new pc purchases..

i wasted many evenings reading the help files and building shitty games and programs in qbasic. my last experience with it was making a stupid 'email' server that communicated with a host pc over rs232.

do it. i'd watch the video and look at the code, so long as the videos weren't 30 minutes of monologue.

I spent a few days looking for Windows games from 1995 - 1998 (and some earlier DOS as well). It's difficult to find games from that era that are original and haven't been patched to run on XP and later systems. I've unrarred and unzipped everything and converted all the weird image files (like .nrg, .mdf, and .ccd) to .iso, and mounted them all to scan with MBAM (which I suppose is useless, I doubt an NT virus scan would ever detect DOS malware) all from my sandybridge laptop.

Now to move them to the 98 box and actually play.

Did I miss any worthwhile games from that era? Any recommendations?

I actually have Myst on CD and I was never able to find Baldur's Gate, The Curse of Monkey Island, and a few others I would really like to play.

I wasted more of my childhood playing Infocom games than any graphical shit that came along later.

>>43319971
You need to find ISO images rather than rips.

>>43320007
It's difficult, most of what I managed to find from public torrent sites are images.

It can be done; I once got an ISO of Total Annihilation because my original disc fucked itself.

>The Curse of Monkey Island

Done and done.

Thank you. Never heard of the iso zone till just now.

>>43320335
Also found Baldur's Gate on there.

>>43320255
I always hated ISO downloads because they take two hours.

I feel like 2.5GB is fuckhuge for a game that came out in 1998... was it a 6 CD set or something?

>>43320563
yup

>>43320660
It's the service, numbnuts. They want you to upgrade to a premium account. I have a 100mbps connection.

>>43320666
Correct. It's on 4 discs.

There are no mods on /g/.

Is my Commodore VIC-20 welcome?
