Does it piss anyone else off when you're missing your Ethernet driver and Windows is like "hey you wanna look online for Ethernet drivers" and ur there like "Windows got extra chromosone a or something?"
There's a patch for Lego Island 2 that fixes the long loading times. Part of the reason why it takes so long was because of shitty programming, as it prioritizes the rendering of the loading screen over actually loading data!
Heh, nice to know, though, I only have a Pentium 4 with 512MB RAM, 2x256MB I tested Windows 7 on it and it's super slow ;~; Hell, even XP is slow as hell on it...The PC being a Dell Dimension 4300...
217awsome Yea Windows 7 does not run that well on anything less than a 775 Pentium 4 or even Celeron in that matter IMO but it is quite amazing to see an OS like that run on hardware of that age :P I have a 4600 and when I got it it had 4x1gb DDR modulus in it and a 500GB IDE WD Blue, you can bet I was in shock when I pulled that hard drive out haha
+Mr. ManDudeGuy that would be very anti climactic windows 7 would be better since poopsauces at microsoft made the nt kernel require sse2 extensions after windows 8 consumer preview so
Daniël's Tech & Music Channel wait i'm hearing this for the first time in my life But seriously, that would be rad, to run Windows 10 on my Evo N600C that I have absolutely no use for.
There is something you forgot at 4:29. You see there is two sound drivers. Actually, one of them belongs to the HDMI port of the AMD card. So you could hear sound if it was connected to a TV through the HDMI port. Without installing the sound card.
Having done some recent exploration on the subject, I have found that doing a Windows XP install from a USB drive with Easy2Boot goes a fair chunk faster. The Easy2Boot prep thing for the USB drive even seems to have a way to handle how the XP installation assumes/expects the medium to be an optical drive. With that method, it basically helps to have a system with a lot of RAM though, since it creates a RAMdisk to act as a virtual optical drive. Makes the installs super fast though :D
Damn, you are so underrated. Your videos are amazing, and show that videos DONT need complex effects or transitions. It's straight to the point and I love your style. Keep up the good work! :)
In truth, I've always enjoyed Lego Island 1 more than Lego Island 2. But Lego Island 1 and Lego Island too stopped working on my windows vista computers when I was 10 at some point. Every couple of years Lego Island comes to mind and now because of you Drauga, I'm playing Lego Island 1 today.
The loading process in Lego Island 2 makes sure that the pizza->CD animation is smooth. If you use a hex editor and remove the offending instruction in the game program you can speed up loading screen massively (www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/7172-no-intro-no-cd-debug-info-level-select-windowed-mode-long-load-times-fix/ , from where I got the fix, claims that this method speeds up the loading by 10-20 times!). You can also simply patch the game to use the windowed mode - the loading fuck-up applies only to fullscreen for some reason.
You will get slightly better performance if you install the nforce sata drivers and make a image of the game to the SSD and use Daemon tools to play it.
OMG!!! I miss that game that you played on the windows Xp, I remember i got it and went home and put it in the computer, and it was laggy as fuck, I couldn't really play it cause the computers back then, they where not powerful enough to handle this, and I remember that I left it loading while I went out to get pizza and came back and it was still loading. Thank You For Showing Me This Game Again, I Played It when I Was 6! OMG MEMORIES!
just finished my win xp games machine for old games that wont install on modern OS, dual 30GB SSD raid 0 :D, limited by the PCI bus, but getting 190MB/s read and write from the raid array, using 2x 30GB Kingston S200 which are capable of going faster, but... meh, it works great
What runs best on Windows XP (even the only OS it wil run on) is Visual Studio 6 (yes, we exist). If you are maintaining a Visual Studio 6 application (like i do), that cannot be converted to Visual Studio DotNet Crap, running a Windows XP machine inside VirtualBox on Windows 10 is your only option. The latest Visual Studio 6 Support-Pack comes with native Windows 10 drivers (Replacement for the DCOM drivers Windows 10 will not install and not work). Using the native Windows 10 drivers your Visual Studio 6 Application will install en and run on Windws 10 machins natively without installing additional drivers and hassle. So like PostGreSQL, MySQL database connectivety etc. is works out if the box.
The Windows XP setup music reminds me of Gran Turismo 3 and 4. It always makes me smile. I spent an ungodly amount of time playing those games growing up.
You are funny!!!! Your sense of humor & timing are awesome!!! The cartoon voice with a dramatic touch kept me rolling! HAHAHAHAHA! Thank you. :) You made my day a little bit better! Have you thought about getting in to comedy? improve? commercials? I think you would be great :)
You sir have earned yourself a sub. Especially cause of the Windows-ception at the bit where it was so slow you could see the flicker (that shouldn't be possible!), that part nearly made me go insane.
I did that years ago. Installed Windows XP64 on SSD and applied the Zune Theme with a few design tweaks so it matched Luna. Man, this OS was stable and faster then it's 32-bit counterpart. Also: Full RAM available. Edit: It was AHCI, not IDE, too.
Funny that a LEGO game on PC takes forever to load considering that the LEGO City game on Wii U also takes FOREVER to load as well. Regardless, nice video. Thanks.
My goal is to build a slightly-better Win98/Win98SE machine and slightly-better WinXP machine using then-powerful cards and then high-end CPUs for old-school gaming.
I still use XP on my Athlon II x3 machine and it kicks ass....Fast as lightning. I use it as a my live mixing PC "console" with 32ch of i\O (I also use high cost mixing consoles) Rmlabs SAC + waves, mdsp, drum triggers and all sorts of VST plugins live with almost zero latency with an old RME Card and 4 outboard pres, on a 3gb RAM machine, WinXP system, while mixing 9 bands at a FESTIVAL Recording all that on separate tracks XD
You could have made a virtual drive and made an ISO of that cd-rom and put THAT on the ssd. You could try this again and see if it loads any faster then.. :-)
I Only Know That Game Cuz Brutalmoose Played It, The Funniest Part Was The Fact That His #1 Complaint Was Half Of The Time He: "Spend Half Of My Time Watching This **** Spinning Pizza-Disk" -Brutalmoose,Ian
So for some reason, Lego Island 2 loads bytes one by one each second... If you could patch this using a tool from some forum which I Forgot where it was but the tool exists, But you forgot about this machine.
Unreal 2: The awakening, also had crazy long load times when using HDD. Even with a Quad core Q9550 CPU, the load times were ridiculously long for a 12 year old game. SSD took care of the loading times though :)

Lmfao I know this comment is old, but that was funny as fuck
Me i hate that
How do you not have Ethernet drivers in this day and age? If Windows doesn't come equipped with them for you, upgrade your archaic PC.
At 5:00 wait, I just connected totally unprotected windows XP to the modern internet. *Connects windows 98 to the modern internet

@@themacintoshnerd that is an integral part of his videos lol
Attempt to put Windows 10 on your windows 98 machine = Fuck yea
+Mr. ManDudeGuy that would be very anti climactic
windows 7 would be better since poopsauces at microsoft made the nt kernel require sse2 extensions after windows 8 consumer preview so
+xan1242 Not if you use a tool that actually strips the ISO of the SSE2/PAE/NX checks. It can be done and it has been done.

But seriously, that would be rad, to run Windows 10 on my Evo N600C that I have absolutely no use for.
+Mr. ManDudeGuy I want to see a machine dual boot Windows 95 and Windows 10 with full driver support on both.

I've installed windows XP so many times and it just makes me sad that I just found out it has music playing during the setup process.
i installed sound drivers by choosing optional updates

12:30 ish: Well, you COULD make an image of LI:2 and start the game from that. That way, the entire game is being read from the SSD at all times.

the original lego island i played a lot on a vista machine. it took 10 minutes of watching a pizza cd spin inbetween levels
ugh

4:53 And that moment, Druga1 realized, he done fucked up.
Holy shit, Lego Island 2. My childhood right in your hands.
Hey +Druaga1
why dont you make ISO CD from LEGO game?
and run virtual CD Drive using Daemon Tools
That was my thinking, if you really want to test the ssd you should eliminate the CD-ROM from the equation.
He uses PowerISO. Better than Daemon Tools in my opinion.
This was great. you should do a game series where you install and mess around with games of the OS's era
Install Rollercoaster Tycoon 3! Talk about loading times!
Hey, at least the game was decent.
hahahahahahahahahaha
Damn, got that on disc somewhere round' my house, lol

Well, knock me over and call me deconstructed! If it isn't Pepper, the dude with the food.
The music for the Windows XP setup is only on the Home Edition setup. Windows XP Pro doesn't have the music since it is a business operating system.
TRIM won't properly work on XP. There are programs that can TRIM it however, you need AHCI in your bios.

i have this very own grafics card running here, with a fan screwed to heatsink, plugged to mainboard chassis header, runs at 45Cº tops at load!

You are funny!!!! Your sense of humor & timing are awesome!!! The cartoon voice with a dramatic touch kept me rolling! HAHAHAHAHA! Thank you. :) You made my day a little bit better! Have you thought about getting in to comedy? improve? commercials? I think you would be great :)
Windows XP will always be iconic.
Ummmm...... have you ever try Windows XP X64 Edition?
for installation music go to the xp machine and lacate C:\windows\system32\oobe\title
Windows XP just owned windows 8 and windows 10 simultaneously by not sucking.
Jascu Alex - ScarXL you shouldn't have to get something like Classic Shell just to bring back a stupid start menu
10 broke compatibility with older programs
Don't challenge your arm anymore, just add a timer on screen when editing and keep your watch for administration
You sir have earned yourself a sub. Especially cause of the Windows-ception at the bit where it was so slow you could see the flicker (that shouldn't be possible!), that part nearly made me go insane.
Also I come from 2016! WOW! jk jk those jokes are overused however i bet this confused people living in the past.
currently the games with aggravating loadig times I know about (especially without SSD) are Battlefield 3+4, GTA V, DCS: World.
and the the intro video is intro instead of title
I only found your channel a few days ago but I have been cobbling all my old parts together in to working machines ! I'm going with xp next.

I remember running lego island extreme stunts, and it took forever to load.
Time for an ssd!
14:55 What a way to not notice that someone wasn't paying attention on the graphics settings. Even lamp-shading afterwards.
Man, i have an amd hd5450. Its great if all you want to do is just turn on your pc.

I have that SSD in my laptop, running Windows 10, 64 bit... well the same manufacturer
Your voice is really funny, you should be a storyteller!
Shame most people in the first 98 SSD video wrote him off in that aspect.
I put an msata into my thinkpad t42 and went to go to the toilet while xubuntu was installing. Was done when I came back a few minutes later.
Install Windows XP Gold (unofficial and with pirated software, perfect for you) on an SD card with too much RAM
Ugh I hated Windows XP Gold. I thought it was a little bit TOO modified. In my opinion, Black Edition is much better and I'm using it right now.
I am running Windows 7 on exactly the same computer right now :c
I'm watching this Damn Pizza Disk load the game - Brutalmoose
doubt the ssd will last long without TRIM

LOL the old school Casio watch.
xp on an ssd is a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad idea

excuse me that fan at the start is demented
5:36, thats my card, but It is Asus version.
the moment when you format a drive in FAT
Ahh. I remember when installing Windows XP was pretty much my only passtime. The good ol' days.

Well... to dont have cd loading times you could use the daemon tools or somthing like that to put the cd inside the ssd
The reason that adapter is not fast is because of the IDE bus transfer limit of ~100 MB/s on the fastest bus.
+WCBROW01 There was an ATA133 mode as well.
At the time I didn't know that. But still, SSDs are capable of more.
This video is beautiful.
I have this game. when it was loading the levels on a regular HDD, it took about 45 seconds to load. The disc wasn't even being accessed.
Wow that case color looks sexy af
You already missed cd-rom gag 2 times. Open it up, and there's disk with PORN. "oops, should've checked old drive for any nsfw stuf, heh heh heh"

You could have made a virtual drive and made an ISO of that cd-rom and put THAT on the ssd. You could try this again and see if it loads any faster then.. :-)

Man, the loading times were so egregious that even Sonic '06 would be stunned.
The song was in like every TH-cam Windows XP Tutorial
the hd5450 can actually run GTA IV at 720p low with playable framerate
I've never actually heard the XP OOBE music during setup. Every single computer I have ever installed XP on, it never had the sound drivers.
So for some reason, Lego Island 2 loads bytes one by one each second... If you could patch this using a tool from some forum which I Forgot where it was but the tool exists, But you forgot about this machine.
Holy shit. Ancient machine :)
Unreal 2: The awakening, also had crazy long load times when using HDD. Even with a Quad core Q9550 CPU, the load times were ridiculously long for a 12 year old game. SSD took care of the loading times though :)
But man was Unreal 2 a disaster!
I guess your SATA Mode was set to some legacy setting? Next time use drivers for your actual SATA controller to get the full speed.
i put xp on a 126gb ssd running a 3570K and it would boot up faster than i could get my stopwatch up on my phone
my computer almost 2 years old and has a HARD DISK DRIVE boots windows faster than 20 seconds. i have not timed it but i think its less than 10 secs.
Loading times with a 4 way RAID 0 would probably help loading times enough to be tolerable.
use a program called "snappy driver installer" it finds drivers for everything u have automatically, supports xp+
Sounds sus. I always integrate drivers BEFORE installation and burn that to DVD-RW. Dual-boot is awesome sometimes.
The Drivers win yet again, dang you drivers when will a hero rise up to challenge you!!!
i love the SSD Win
i like the windows vista machine with windows xp
12:57 Me: Is really Kirby?
