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.

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.

[@aleksandarlazarov9182]

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.

[@AlekMunroe01]

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.

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

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

[@2012Creyes]

If the laptop has a USB port, you could consider dual booting another OS that supports flash drives. I did that with an IBM ThinkPad 600E. It runs 98SE primarily, but also a slimmed down version of Server 2003. When I need to move something over, I boot into 2003, move the files to / from the flash drive then reboot into 98.

[@maxwillson]

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.

[@Jean-Denis_R_R_Loret]

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.

Those DLL files are for directx use, the reason it runs so bad is its trying to software render the image because back then 3d accelerators in laptops were hard to come by if at all. We had issues like this with quake etc when its software rendered and not hardware.

That version of OpenGL you used was an implementation of mesa so it was software rendering. That laptop unfortunately didn’t have a proper GPU that could do openGL and that’s why you had those DLL issues as it is supposed to come with the drivers. You need a laptop with say a voodoo (not sure if any existed) or like a rage XL or something.
