The Birth of the SSD Win XP Machine?

I install Windows XP on an SSD then play Lego Island 2 on it.
My current addiction: www.amazon.com/...

[@banashrack7781]

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?"

[@misaalanshori]

LOL xD

Lmfao I know this comment is old, but that was funny as fuck

[@NepgearGM6.1]

Me i hate that

"If it exists, it *will* work with an SSD in it." -Druaga1

[@funnypranker34]

At 5:00 wait, I just connected totally unprotected windows XP to the modern internet. *Connects windows 98 to the modern internet

[@mica7191]

What brand is that blue PC case?

[@TremiRodomi]

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!

[@solarstrike33]

Link in case anyone's curious: github.com/JeffRuLz/LEGO-Island-2-Patcher

[@mica7191]

I play GTA SA on my pc... it literally takes few seconds to load Binco interior... I have a 500gb 7200 rpm hdd, WD AAKS5000-003UAA0

[@somegreenguy]

OS/2 on an SSD

[@thebigsee1547]

usually this stuff is boring AF...but this guy and his jokes makes it actually enjoyable.

[@ecksdii]

@@themacintoshnerd that is an integral part of his videos lol

[@BlazeFireXERO]

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! :)

[@SheldeniHardware]

Your to good, Windows 7 on a Pentium 3 is your next mission sir :P

[@mr.mandudeguy5389]

Windows 10 my friend

[@217awsome]

+Shelden iHardware Isn't the minimum a Pentium 4?

[@SheldeniHardware]

217awsome for 64bit yes, 32 nope as long as you have 1gb of RAM :D

[@217awsome]

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...

[@SheldeniHardware]

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

[@2608XT]

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.

[@adlymagdy1]

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.

[@FamilyDUDE777]

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.

[@solarstrike33]

Fun fact: Lego Island 1's the first retro PC game I bought

[@mr.mandudeguy5389]

Attempt to put Windows 10 on your windows 98 machine = Fuck yea

[@xan1242]

+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]

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.

[@pikachuchujelly7628]

+Mr. ManDudeGuy I want to see a machine dual boot Windows 95 and Windows 10 with full driver support on both.

[@gaveroid418]

+PikaChuChuJelly With 128MB of RAM (seems to be the amount of tam the Evo N600C usually has), good luck running Windows 10.

[@xan1242]

***** I dunno, anything goes. It'll be slow as fuck unless you put an SSD but even then, the bandwidth of the IDE port isn't the best for an SSD. Mine came with that much RAM yea. It would make for a fun weekend project though, I never thought about doing it until now. Checking the Win10's source tree, however, reveals that they're even using code from Windows codenamed Daytona (which is NT 3.5!) so I dunno. At its core it's still NT so I believe it can be made to work. Graphics are gonna be a bitch, but it'll be fun to watch the thing chug through.

[@nate5862]

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

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

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

[@BMB]

12:56 made the video 3 times better. I knew some way you'd get the Windows welcome music in there XD

[@Natures_Intentions]

Windows xp was a good os

[@DhavidSetiawanKilluaDhavid]

Hey +Druaga1 why dont you make ISO CD from LEGO game? and run virtual CD Drive using Daemon Tools

[@eLJaybud]

That was my thinking, if you really want to test the ssd you should eliminate the CD-ROM from the equation.

[@solarstrike33]

He uses PowerISO. Better than Daemon Tools in my opinion.

[@Browningate]

Make sure to turn off IDE emulation mode for best performance.

[@MrDalek2150]

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.

[@MrDalek2150]

Also I come from 2016! WOW! jk jk those jokes are overused however i bet this confused people living in the past.

[@Deadboydovah]

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.

[@lefteris.adamou.1]

i installed sound drivers by choosing optional updates

[@ibanezgera]

This was great. you should do a game series where you install and mess around with games of the OS's era

[@JeffisWinning]

Windows XP just owned windows 8 and windows 10 simultaneously by not sucking.

[@chrisfratz]

Jascu Alex - ScarXL you shouldn't have to get something like Classic Shell just to bring back a stupid start menu

[@DragonKnightGX]

10 broke compatibility with older programs

[@brainstar64]

14:55 What a way to not notice that someone wasn't paying attention on the graphics settings. Even lamp-shading afterwards.

[@JoshSonic]

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.

[@FaSMaN]

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.

[@infrared752]

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.

[@cleanycloth]

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.

[@liamcosgrave5410]

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.

[@kudalaMangalooru]

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 :)

[@Sypaka]

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.

[@NelsonBigGunP200Fan]

TRIM won't properly work on XP. There are programs that can TRIM it however, you need AHCI in your bios.

[@Reboot7080]

Holy shit, Lego Island 2. My childhood right in your hands.

[@LoneFennecFox]

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!

[@harrytsang1501]

Don't challenge your arm anymore, just add a timer on screen when editing and keep your watch for administration

[@pikachuchujelly7628]

Install Rollercoaster Tycoon 3! Talk about loading times!

[@solarstrike33]

Hey, at least the game was decent.

[@Sauceboss421]

hahahahahahahahahaha

[@laynefocht5386]

Damn, got that on disc somewhere round' my house, lol

[@ebbiesoup1862]

[@Mickice]

Windows XP will always be iconic.

[@bnmc]

Ahh. I remember when installing Windows XP was pretty much my only passtime. The good ol' days.

[@slashed_out]

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.

[@johnlinke1790]

4:53 And that moment, Druga1 realized, he done fucked up.

[@WCBROW01]

The reason that adapter is not fast is because of the IDE bus transfer limit of ~100 MB/s on the fastest bus.

[@liquidextal]

+WCBROW01 There was an ATA133 mode as well.

[@WCBROW01]

At the time I didn't know that. But still, SSDs are capable of more.

[@martiekr]

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.

[@MarcWeavers]

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

[@thefattmish]

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.

[@Snowwie88]

If you install Windows XP on an SSD drive remember Windows XP does not support TRIM nor Wear Leveling. It's therefore recommended that during installation you leave 10% unallocated.

[@edwinj223]

Loading times with a 4 way RAID 0 would probably help loading times enough to be tolerable.

[@felipe34k]

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!

[@pikachu896]

Well, knock me over and call me deconstructed! If it isn't Pepper, the dude with the food.

[@computerwiz4]

You need MANY more views and subs druaga. Keep up the good work!

[@megabojan1993]

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 :)

[@solarstrike33]

But man was Unreal 2 a disaster!

[@TheDrummerDude17]

Windows XP....those were the days. The installation music was so magical. So wonderful. 😎

[@13thFlProductions]

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.

[@nate5862]

so when you rushed to plug the audio in for the music, i literally did that earlier today in a vm. the audio there worked but played at like 99999% speed for some reason so it didnt work. oh well. i love your vids.

[@loganiushere]

Hey druaga! Install Windows XP Vienna edition on an SSD! It's like someone took half the gui of Windows Vista and carefully laid out down on top of Windows XP.

[@melvin8d671]

I remember running lego island extreme stunts, and it took forever to load.

[@funnypranker34]

Time for an ssd!

[@rogeliolopez2190]

for installation music go to the xp machine and lacate C:\windows\system32\oobe\title

[@Synthematix]

doubt the ssd will last long without TRIM

[@99domini99]

currently the games with aggravating loadig times I know about (especially without SSD) are Battlefield 3+4, GTA V, DCS: World.

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.

Windows 3.0 on an ssd and make it bluescreen by installing EVERYTHING IT CAN

[@gaveroid418]

For Lego Island 2, you should try making an ISO with CloneCD (it has a Protected Game CD option so it will even back up copy protected games) and mount it using Virtual CloneDrive.

[@solarstrike33]

You can patch the game too: github.com/JeffRuLz/LEGO-Island-2-Patcher

[@venichen1]

That's quite a new GPU compared to the rest of the PC. If you load up Windows 7 and it'll be a pretty usable computer.

[@synthsynner]

Install Windows XP Gold (unofficial and with pirated software, perfect for you) on an SD card with too much RAM

[@TheSonicSegaNerd]

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.

[@nameistunbekannt7896]

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.

[@kaaaallll]

Man, i have an amd hd5450. Its great if all you want to do is just turn on your pc.

[@nadaesperavel]

5:36, thats my card, but It is Asus version.

I am running Windows 7 on exactly the same computer right now :c

[@off_on_one]

I have that SSD in my laptop, running Windows 10, 64 bit... well the same manufacturer

[@Snowwie88]

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.. :-)
