Hey I got Minecraft 1.3 running on a 2001 dell demession. Intel celron 1.7 GHz and a reason 2900. It ran at like 5-10 fps. The main bottleneck wasn't rendering but it was the game logic. Classic cube runs at 70 fps.Awesome vid. I loved the Wii one as I had a Wii and was inspired to mod it. Thanks for the great videos❤
That is still miles more powerful than the Toshiba used in this video that's from 1996, at this point I think classicube can launch on absolutely anything that has a screen.
any cpu from that era will be miles better and more powerfull. i ran 1.7.10 without any big issues and i think something more but i don't really remember on an ahtlon xp 2600+ (that was downclocked at 1.1Ghz because mobo). i used the old java launcher (that at the time still worked fine). but that's windows xp era machines, nothing to do with this 95 era portable pc

It was all fun until a faculty member came in and shut that all down lol
Since when did Zachary become Zaca? I’m in *confusion* Edit : many stuff were released in 1996. Which was in the Mid 90’s. like N64 with its game Super Mario 64. And Crash Bandicoot. And. Uhh. Many stuff. Will smith’s movie Independence Day was released 👍
Another thing, however, this guy is a Australian, which means that he has like the pal versions of all the games which means it’s slightly slower except if he buys a nes classic or snes classic he will get North American versions of games for those systems
To run minecraft on an n64 you would basically have to reprogram the entire game from scratch. You can't just copy and paste files from a pc like he did with the mac and the laptop because the system runs games in a completely different way.
That exact laptop was my first laptop ever. I spent a lot of my childhood trying to copy files from random computers and CDRWs to get Windows XP on it. So many memories! I was 9 in 2005 when I got it. I tried getting Doom 3 on it. Found out about Doom 95
Zacca, I am not sure if Macs support this function, but on Windows and Linux when you are not filling the whole CD, you have the option to either leave the remaining space available for future files (so you can add, but not remove files to it) or tell the disk to ignore the remaining space, making it none-writable. This option can save you quite a few disks if you are transferring small files.
Bro tried connecting a host to another host.. Cable User Error XD sorry man Also you needed the drivers for the GPU in the laptop. It probably doesn't even have proper OpenGL support at all if the driver was already installed from the previous user(s), which is why the file was missing... because it should be. That's why it took so long to find the file that worked, because you had to find the only one that came inside that driver. I actually love how you, not knowing what you're doing whatsoever, somehow got this to work and is running a channel from it. Absolutely incredible. Unless you actually really do know all of this crap and it's an act......
My first laptop was a pentium 2 466mhz. It was good enough to play Half-Life and Counter-strike but it was so hard to play because of the ghosting. Luckily for me there was an RCA output that allowed me to put it to my TV. I lost the sharpness of the image but at least there was no ghosting.
For the transferring problem, you could have connected the laptop to your network (it has a port on the back) and connect to a windows file via file sharing. I also think windows 95 supports FTP which is a good way to transfer files over the network.
My friend had one of these! It was old by the time he received it, but we spent many hours during sleepovers making animations in PowerPoint, so many that I actually prefer the layout of PowerPoint from that era!
My first laptop was a Pentium 2 466mhz. I had Windows 2000 on it and I could play Half-Life and Counter-Strike but the ghosting made it almost unplayable. Then I discovered the RCA output. I started plugging it on my tv to play games. Lost the sharpness of the screen but at least it wasn't a smear when moving.
Minecraft made me cry, too: I once cried because I was horribly lost. It isn't the only game that made me cry, though: I cried my eyes out in the final episode of Life is Strange.
Love! These laptops. I had a Toshiba Satellite very similar to this a few years ago and, man they are just brilliant. Great for games from 92-97. I remember being impressed it even ran Quake 2 very well!
Before this video I was convinced that I was the world's greatest Minecraft enthusiast. Now I'm not so sure that you aren't competition, mate. Well done.
I ran classicube on similar configurations, and here's a tip, if you reduce the resolution of the game, the FPS will become much higher, for this you need to open a chat and enter "/res 320x240" so the fps will increase to 4, if set 160x120 it will already be 15 fps
When i was 10 or 11 my grandpa gave me his old laptop from the late 90s, and I tried to do exactly this. I ran into the same issue with OpenGL but couldnt figure out how to fix it passed downloading the DLL files. I'm 22 now, and someone else has actually figured out how to do it, I can't believe anyone else even tried to. Good to know my efforts were in vain.
As someone who last than 5 hours ago finished copying a 60megabyte file over a serial connection with 9600 baud... naw burning discs each time is less stressful
Randomly got recommended this video and it fits my nerd niches perfectly! Btw, from the look of how thin that initial Micro USB cable was, I think it's a power only cable, meaning the pins and wires are missing for the data lines! Or it could have just been a cheap crappy cable. xD
Dude. This was my first laptop. My dad gave it to me when I was about 12, like 1997 or something. Used to run age of empires like a gun and play cds at the same time
You could’ve just burned the classic cube EXC file to the disk and then put it in the CD rom Edit: right as I unpause the video you come up with that exact thought
this guy above sounds like he is making up stuff so here's an ACTUAL experienced person Yes, you can, with a WearOS enabled smartwatch - I tried it on my Galaxy Watch 4 Classic. (round screen) You need an ARM-v7a apk of Minecraft (and I recommend one of the earliest versions for performance reasons), and a sideloader for your game. In this case, something on your phone like GeminiMan Watch Manager to push Minecraft via ADB into your watch. The game ran okay in my experience, but you have to shorten render distance, mess with sensitivity settings, and most importantly, go to your watch's settings and turn on triple tap to zoom so you can access buttons like Create world, since screen is round some things will be cut off and by zooming you can see buttons better
I don't know if you would be able to get your hands on it, but there was a Minecraft 4K, and the meaning behind the name was that the entire game was under 4,000KB. I believe it was like 2MB or something like that. I'm not sure how well it would work on that PC or how much RAM it requires, but it's about as bare minimal as a Minecraft can get if you can get your hands on it.
it is not, you cant run applications that are older than the 9x kernel, and even some apps made for the 9x kernel wont run on windows 10/11, so that means its not, but if you run them on windows xp which usually runs them all, then you are actually just fine running them
I use to download abandonware and transfer the files to my classic 90s Mac. I'd have to burn the files onto a CD, the iMac G3 was able to read the files and from there I'd transfer the files to a Zip Drive and from the Zip Drive my classic 90s Mac could read the files. You can't just transfer from a modern computer to a classic computer, you have to have an in-between computer that can read the data and write the data for an older computer to read, if that makes sense.
The best way to transfer files at the time those things were used alongside more modern hardware, was by using a PCMCIA card that could interface with an external 10mbps card, the kind so old it had an ethernet port and a coax BNC connector. This kind of setup wasn't that rare in late 90's.
