That exact laptop was my first laptop ever. I spent a lot of my childhood trying to copy files from random computers and CDRWs to get Windows XP on it. So many memories! I was 9 in 2005 when I got it. I tried getting Doom 3 on it. Found out about Doom 95
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. Classic cube runs at 70 fps.Awesome vid. I loved the Wii one as I had a Wii and was inspired to mod it. Thanks for the great videos❤

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.

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.

Love! These laptops. I had a Toshiba Satellite very similar to this a few years ago and, man they are just brilliant. Great for games from 92-97. I remember being impressed it even ran Quake 2 very well!
It's technically playable. Complete Minecraft storyline on it and I will subscribe
That was very interesting. Id like to see a little motion even if was 1 frame per minute...
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. Unless you actually really do know all of this crap and it's an act......

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
In regards to operating software issues like that dll file, you could always use a VM then apply that to the real thing.
@SalC1 got Minecraft 1.16 running on windows 98 could that be possible with this laptop aswell?
i remember playing minecraft 1.9 on a pentium 4 with a gt 240 and 4 gb of ram imagine that
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.
Twister and Independence Day made young me think that big thick laptops were the "real deal
Dude is going to make Minecraft run on the Gameboy next
Looked it up. The MSRP on that laptop was almost 3 grand!! Crazy how expensive stuff was back then!
Duke Nukem I and Halloween Harry!! Immediately straight back to my childhood
Nice vid mate
As someone who last than 5 hours ago finished copying a 60megabyte file over a serial connection with 9600 baud... naw burning discs each time is less stressful
Nice vid keep it up
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.
The purple lights is spot on❤❤

When i was 10 or 11 my grandpa gave me his old laptop from the late 90s, and I tried to do exactly this. I ran into the same issue with OpenGL but couldnt figure out how to fix it passed downloading the DLL files. I'm 22 now, and someone else has actually figured out how to do it, I can't believe anyone else even tried to. Good to know my efforts were in vain.
Keep doin it buddy
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

Dude. This was my first laptop. My dad gave it to me when I was about 12, like 1997 or something. Used to run age of empires like a gun and play cds at the same time
For DOS machines, those old Toshibas are great, you have to use an external monitor to get the right resolution, unless you get the right laptop with the right ones.. My Toshibas have a 300mhz Pentium 2, and a 800mhz something Pentium 3. My other two laptops are Fujitsu brand and 133mhz.
This is absolute MADNESS.
I used to run Minecraft server in the early beta days on a dual Pentium 3 1.4ghz blade with 3 gigs of ram. It worked pretty well but slow on terrain gen.
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.

Hey you managed to get it to "run". Impressive in its own right.
You could download as many dll files as you can find, and then burn them. Rather than burn a full stack. Also some CD's are rewritable too.
My dad gave me this exact laptop in 2006 and i played plenty of sonic and comix zone on it lol
Wow. Whenever I tried to run Classicube on a 486 or Pentium class machine it just crashed, even when I had a true OpenGL capable card in the PC. I always assumed it just wasn't coded to support these architectures. Now I have to try it again.

hey heres a tip, instead of trying to find a compatible opengl thingy, i think its maybe a graphics card driver issue and you should look for the driver to maybe get like +2 fps or sum but its surprinsing that even launched
if you're going to be transfering files with cds you need to get some cd-rw discs. they're pretty much required if you have an old pc.
