Thanks for Windows 98 UTM #2

I had a hard time setting it up, so gave up and found your image.

My goal is to get my own qcow2 of Windows 98 Japanese working.

A straight qcow2 swap doesn't work so well as my image is missing drivers, I guess. As my image requires me to login with "password" and the keyboard is not recognised I'm at a loss.

Any guidance appreciated!

anonymousaga commented 5 months ago

have you ticked on PS2 keyboard already?

gingerbeardman commented 5 months ago

Within Windows or in UTM? Consider me a noob with UTM, because I am.

I'm on an M1 Mac so I can't get into the Windows VM to make any changes. Catch 22.

So I might have to reinstall everything from scratch.

anonymousaga commented 5 months ago

Utm. And im also on m1 as well.

gingerbeardman commented 5 months ago

OK, yes, I took your Windows 98 UTM so all your settings persist, but swapped out the qcow2 file for my own.

Oh ok, does it work now?

gingerbeardman commented 5 months ago

No.

But just so we're clear PS/2 was already set, so I've made no changes, and it's still not working.

If you want to try yourself the VMware image is at the link in the OP.

Is there anything I can do to better explain my situation and receive more help?

anonymousaga commented 5 months ago

Sorry, im busy with preparation for my AP exams. I can get back to you sometime later when I have a bit more time.

gingerbeardman commented 5 months ago

Sure thing! Thank you and good luck to you

anonymousaga commented 4 months ago

Ill get to you in a few days. Sorry for the wait. My exams went well :)

gingerbeardman commented 4 months ago

Congrats!

Strangely I booted up UTM today and then checked GitHub to see this reply. :)

I'm not even able to convert the disk to a qcow2 - qemu-img keeps throwing errors. If you have a bootable qcow2 disk, can you send me that? Otherwise, I updated my win98 VM utm file. Delete the existing disk, make a new disk, and install using https://archive.org/details/Win98SEJPNRetail

anonymousaga commented 2 months ago

Did you end up solving the issue?

gingerbeardman commented 2 months ago

Sadly I haven't had the time to try again. But I have needed it!

I've struggled on with an XP VM.

anonymousaga commented 2 months ago

I have a utm winxp vm too!

I'll post it this weekend, after I uninstall the software I put on there and remove personal details.

gingerbeardman commented 2 months ago

Just so we're talking about the same thing, you mean you'll post the Win 98 VM? If so, awesome! Thanks

anonymousaga commented 2 months ago

I mean to say that i can publish a windows XP vm.

I already have a win98 vm posted, and I am unable to convert your VMDK into a qcow2 file for some reason

gingerbeardman commented 2 months ago

OK, I will try again soon.

It's Japanese 98 VM that I need.

My XP VM is also Japanese.

I use a lot of old Japanese software and games.

anonymousaga commented 1 month ago

I tried to make a win98 vm with this iso from scratch

i got stuck at booting the hard disk saying “invalid system disk”

Im sorry that I couldnt help you

gingerbeardman commented 1 month ago

No worries, I'll chime back in if I manage it at some point in the future.
