1:18 ahh yes my favorite country in the world Philadelphia

I used to have one, but believe it or not, someone stole it😢 and I have been trying to get one for years. I would love to have one again

I was looking into where Beta 64 videos went and found this with no context 💀

I just cooked salmon croquettes in my xpress redi to go right now. Have had it for years and still love it.

Download link?

Legendary playlist. I still listen to it while I work on my school stuff

Where did he go andrew your fans are waiting we can only go so long without you please return to us we need beta64 we want you back desperately please return to us E Ĺ H . S P Z

Hi Andrew, glad to see you're okay! 😄

what happened to beta64?

I have the PAL copy on a real gamecube, but I somehow never played the hidden mansion

this is the greatest video on youtube

Yo Mama!

45th

9th

from looking at game version differences to eating chips... solid progression

You gotta trim up the hair bro

YOU GO BETA64, POP OFF WITH A NEW VIDEO 🔥🔥

thats wassup

I don’t like honey at all but those honey butter chips? I’ll eat a whole dang bag bro

i love your hair please dont cut it

First

It's the time you spent with your friends that counts.

lol I had this exact computer but it was slot 1 running a celeron 333mhz

Lol. I have one I haven't touched yet. I remember how bad Compaq was😂

#extraordinair ..shelby would like to hear that :D

they are okay, they are just far too salty

This is such a dead on representation of what it's like to troubleshoot with Windows 98 or any 90's PC hardware. You can spend hours, days, weeks tackling some really specific issue only to find out you were using driver version 2.5 when you should've been using 2.4... duh! Bless Shelby for helping you out with this one, I really liked the idea of testing it in the PC emulator then writing the image to a real disk.

Worked on these heaps of junk! They aren't fun to get the factory software working! Cool video mate!

Oh noo, that sucked. I was thinking about those IDE cables in the back of my mind when I was watching your video. I also restore vintage computers and I have done that too.

Well you've taught yourself and many others a lesson not to forget Master and slave are not to be messed with

Perhaps in layman's terms, but in computer terminology 86Box does not create "virtual machines", it's an emulator. There is a difference. Virtualization is a process wherein a hypervisor creates two (potentially equal) environments (or virtual machines) on one physical machine, where both operating systems can use the hardware natively. Emulation is where one machine uses a software program, generally on top of its operating system, to pretend to be another machine. Sometimes certain parts of a virtual machine will be emulated (for example, usually a virtual machine doesn't just take over your GPU as your host needs it and it can't be operated in two contexts at once, but your virtual machine will connect to an emulated GPU, usually generic and weak). But generally, if the guest has control over one or more cores of your physical CPU, it's considered virtualized rather than emulated.

Oh, that's why I couldn't get QuickRestore to work on my Presario 5170, I was trying to install to a different disk than the 8" 12GB drive it came with.

Do you have a brother that sings? Goes by the name Livingston? You look like him with glasses.

The horrors of Compaq I would like to find more of their computers at some point though, they're interesting.

24:00 That password is easy. SMDCONSUMER its the same for all the older restore discs.

Not gonna lie, I was not expecting that ending. Wild shit.

That was a wild ride

The Compaq recovery software is worse than how Packard Bell did it! PB also had a silly drive label system where the first few sectors had a fingerprint outlining the type of recovery CD/image that should be installed. But at least PB left a generic option in their later recovery media, that would install a generic Packard Bell Win95 with most drivers, minus custom bundles of software that were machine SKU specific.

I had that exact computer. First thing you have to disable all the startup programs that run everything. The motherboard sound card one is the hardest to turn off because it isn't labeled. In order to use a Creative Soundblaster card instead I had to go all over the net to find out which program it was. I found an Eastern European forum where one guy listed the steps to disable it. 'Step 1: Curse Compaq for being so awful.'

Oh god, a Quantum Bigfoot. I wouldnt even wanted to use it in my 486, so shitty it was. Access times worse than on my old Connor drive.

slave and master issues abounded on old pc's, and jumpers to change them! great video! hilarious

Hello from a fellow nerd struggling with the same issues. I own an RP5000 from HP, but it's basically a Compaq D530 with HP branding and POS features. The board seems fine in the caps dept, but the PSU is this odd, special shape that looks like a TFX, SFX type shape with ATX connectors. It seems like we now know where HP got their bespoke nonsense from.

holy shit this is so relatable the last part its happened to me so much accidently swapping things

I used to do tech support for Compaq in the late '90s, especially the desktop Presario line. I remember this particular model too. I once had a guy who was told by the previous "tech" to reformat and reinstall Windows for no sound. All he had to do was... wait for it... plug in his speakers. The bad thing is that this sort of shenanigans was so common. Compaq, for some reason, decided to have customer make a long distance phone call for tech support for 2 specific Presario models one year. I fielded quite a few angry customers for those Presario models. Needless to say, that tech support line didn't last long.

My step father's sister gave one to me when I was a teen! I used to watch Dragon Ball and InuYasha on it as well as play a load of DOS and early Windows games on it! Virtual Boy Advance too. Man, the memories! Got it for free. It was my 1st computer but replaced it only a couple of years later for my first very own computer, an Acer One, a mini laptop which I mainly used to play emulators on.

Quantum Bigfoot!!

Wow. That was quite the journey. I was gonna go to bed soon after I started the video but I was hooked and had to finish the whole thing. Really interesting to see the process y'all went through and get into the technical details. And then that ending 😆 Someone manual writer needs to be fired retroactively for their work a couple decades years ago lol

I want you to have more computer problems so you can fix more computers. All of that stuff with editing the DOS commands and seeing the old computer stuff was so interesting.
