Installing WinXP in a VM on WinME

I am amazed that someone would even think of this but you put it into action thank you Druaga for this video

[@humanbeing_]

So first I just have to state (again, for like the fourth time commenting on your videos lol) that I literally just found your channel via the Computer Clan SSD upgrade for the LaCie external drive video. After that video I immediately went to your channel and realized I found a gold mine of superbly funny yet, somehow semi-educational content... And no joke, I have been binging on your content ever since; going on 3+ weeks now. And I'm on KZbin on my iPhone and/or computer (Late 2013 MBP) at least 6-10 hours a day... While I'm doing other stuff mind you, not just dedicating my entire day to KZbin... But anyway ---- My point is I'm amazed at the depth of knowledge you have working with, in, and installing & troubleshooting both classic & current Mac & Windows systems.... YET!!! (lol) the brutal cringe-ness that is your bumbling around with, in & installing Linux Distros. 🤔 Don't take that as an insult, rather I just watched the CHIP video, and you definitely have *some skillz* in BASH/Command Line (command prompt/DOS prompt for you Windows users) and even many of the Linux tools in live disks, some very similar to those in Hiren's boot CD. Yet again, even for me, a user of Windows from 2002 to 2016, and Mac from 2009 to current, just starting with Linux since January 2017; for you some stuff that's totally obvious to me (now being engulfed with and moving Linux) amazes me that you still have trouble with or get side tracked... Again, the reason I'm saying this, is I'm at 5:18 in THIS video and I'm already amazed at all of the commands and knowledge you have to work your way around WINDOWS ME, And Bochs... You're the perfect guy to learn and Excel with Linux! You already possess an incredible skillet with Mac & Windows. And it would have been painful for me to even begin to get Mini V Mac running WITHIN DOS BOX... running in Linux! Hopefully, you will consider making more LINUX videos; may a suggest straw polls via your Twitter again or something. Anyway man. I seriously love your videos. Just fantastic stuff, and hilariously enjoying to watch! So: I'm issuing an OFFICIAL CHALLENGE! Create a new Linux DistrOSeption Video. But, instead of Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as the host, then Ubuntu 16.04.04 and further down, install A DIFFERENT Ubuntu or Debian or Arch-based distro each level down... And only use LTS (Long Term Support) releases so bugs won't be an issue (or excuse) for getting them all to work. VMWare works on Linux. As does Virtual Box. And also maybe look into the virtualization pass-through so you won't have to configure the RAM specs all the way down. (FYI the easiest idea that comes to mind is use Ubuntu 18.04.1 as the host, but then use 'Flavors' on the way down. You already know Lubuntu. Then Kubuntu. Then Xubuntu. Then Ubuntu Budgie... Ubuntu MATE. In whatever order and/or release version. I think you're worthy of the challenge. And if ANYONE can get'er done - it's Druaga1 (shit, that rhymes lol) Cheers! -H.B.

[@Caltash]

You are a madman. Would you try installing Windows 2000 on a power mac G4 next?

[@wclifton968gameplaystutorials]

that wont work without a VM since Microsoft never made win 2K for PPC processors

[@tux9656]

Microsoft did actually release a beta of Windows 2000 for PowerPC, but it's for the PReP platform and incompatible with Apple Macintosh OpenFirmware.

[@wclifton968gameplaystutorials]

+tux9656 oooooh never knew that! thanks for telling me

[@Caltash]

That's cool too, but I was thinking along the lines of getting Win2K installed in an emulator, such as QEMU, running on a Powermac G4. :)

[@tux9656]

Caltash That would be prohibitively slow. Emulating x86 on that would give you the performance of a 80386 at best.

[@desumoyo]

"I can't imagine it would take any shorter of time" I can imagine it perfectly, the screenshot with the Win7 VM on 98 was using VirtualPC 5.1, there is a pretty major difference between VPC and Bochs, VPC send the instruction directly to the host machine CPU, Bochs completely emulate a new CPU. Now you gotta try again to install Vista but with VPC instead :D

This Windows XP virtual machine is actually faster than my friend's first pc. His first pc took like 15 minutes to boot up and it had to run at 640x480 to be clickable. Pinball 3D lagged a shit ton on his pc. (btw he barely used it, because he wasn't a computer guy)

[@bluemetal04606]

No, I don't want to see Windows 10 on a 486. I want to see the latest Ubuntu on a 486 :P BTW, still waiting for a ps2 (or ps3) linux install on a SSD lol.

[@nilswegner2881]

Tim Cook I don't think Ubuntu will work on a 486, it does not even run on my Pentium 2 and Pentium 3 systems. There are special versions of Linux that work on such old machines but they are very limited and most don't even have a gui

[@tyttuut]

DJ Slinus I got Lubuntu running on a Pentium III 933. I couldn't get Firefox working, but it worked surprisingly well otherwise.

[@nilswegner2881]

The Tyttuutface maybe it's because of my machines that I can't even get lubuntu to boot. My Pentium 3 is a 1 GHz cpu on an Asus cuv4x-m motherboard and my Pentium 2 is a 333 MHz cpu on a msi ms6156 motherboard. Both are via chipsets and both share the same graphics card because I only use one at a time. The graphics card is an old ATI Radeon 7200 sdr so it's also not the best you can get for these systems. The Pentium 3 board even has AGP 4x so I might get a better nvidia or ATI card or even a voodoo 4 but not now. I run windows 98 on both of these machines and I am not planning to put Linux onto them anyways because for that I have my Dell optiplex gx520 that has a much more powerful Pentium D cpu running at 3.4 GHz. My 90s and early 2000s PCs are really only for the old games I play so I don't care if there is not the newest version of an OS on there. And Linux is definitely not really suitable for playing older games

[@Jurtaani]

[@betamax80]

The limitation has to be the max memory you can use on Win9x - and Me - really it just wont boot with over 1gb, and I use a maxvirtualmem ini file fix to achieve even that. CPU isn't a problem though, I use Athlon XP's and you can go all the way if you choose the right chipset (SiS ones are good), and I believe the same goes for Pentium 4's (no Hyperthreading though). You could conceivably put on something else that is limited to 512mb virtual system memory but anything like Vista is going to SUCK with so little.

[@SocialSpit]

Did that Bigfoot drive come out of one of these weird Compaq Presario’s that had the rounded case? The top part of the case was rounded in, and the CD/DVD drives had plastic molding on it so that it blended into the curve. The bottom of those boxes were wider to accommodate the Bigfoot drive. Packard-Bell also had towers like that, like an upside down T shape, and the motherboard fit into the flat area of the top of the T, which was actually the bottom of the T.. and then the rest of the case was like a regular tower. I had a small museum of crappy systems like that from the late 1999 through about 2002 they stopped making them, whenever Packard Bell disintegrated and Compaq was swallowed up by Hewlett Packard?

[@vistafan12]

woah, druaga uploaded something! AGAIN!!

[@Tomasu82]

Bochs is slow yo. The reason qemu (and virtualbox, vmware, etc) /can/ be fast is it has support for virtualization hardware acceleration.

[@nilswegner2881]

Tomasu82 but how can Hardware acceleration work, if the host machine does not support virtualization in the bios? Or even if the host machine supports it it does not mean that the host OS supports it and in this case, since it's windows me which doesn't support anything at all, that won't work

[@Tomasu82]

I didn't mean to imply he could use it. just that bochs is slow ;)

[@nilswegner2881]

Tomasu82 that's also because bochs is a God damn emulator and not a vm host software. Bochs emulates a Pentium cpu on whatever host you give it, it even works on Android. And that's why it's so slow on this machine. If he would have used a real virtualization host, I don't know any from the back of my mind right now that support ME, it would have been much faster because the cpu would directly have been given to the guest OS without being emulated by a badly coded piece of software

[@Tomasu82]

Sure. Not sure why you seem so upset. I was just making an observation. not criticising anything/anyone.

[@UlzYT]

@@nilswegner2881 vmware was a thing back then :)

[@dylon4906]

I just watched the vista on me video today good shit

[@Wakanda.Knuckles]

2 things I immediately noticed (regarding the performance): 1. your host OS uses generic VGA driver, meaning there's no video acceleration at all, so the CPU is probably wasting cycles. 2. you're using bochs which is the slowest virtualization software by far as it relies on CPU interpretation only. If you can get qemu 0.11.1 with kqemu (not KVM) to run on the ME, install correct driver for the GPU on the host, and create a fixed size image for the hdd, your virtualized performance should nearly double. Then you can try to install nlited version of Vista or 7.

[@munchlax633]

Also he without noticing setup the emulated CPU to be just 5MHz. Not that it would have mattered much as emulation was already not going fullspeed for the selected hardware.
