On the hardware side of it would seem that the PS4 Dualshock controller somehow 'just works' on Windows 98 based on another VOGONer's experience - wow.ģ) TV-output. Is there an XPadder that works with Windows 98? How good is it? It would need to be able to auto-launch at boot-up with the GUI overlay so that you wouldn't need to use a mouse/keyboard, ideally. On my Windows 7 PC I've used XPadder to very successfully map just about anything that doesn't have native or very good controller support. I would not expect him to be able to add new games with installation, patches and configuring that would be needed for it to use a.Ģ) Game controller. Having given it some occasional thought it would need.ġ) Some kind of GUI/Interface for Windows 98 to launch into that would allow selection and direct booting into whatever games I were to install/configure on it. How difficult and expensive would it be to make a Windows 98 'console'? I really mean a PC, but with parts, software and peripherals chosen to make it almost indistinguishable from a game console. One great example would be Dark Forces II, where literally every other game in the series has a console release. He's an older guy, who enjoys his retro games more and more and I know for a fact there are certain games from the Windows 98 era that he would love to play that never got a console port. Between the physical restrictions of sitting at a desk and just not being handy with technology at all he is exclusively a console gamer. I have a friend who is just not capable of PC gaming.
