[QUOTE="KleinesSinchen, post: 8831929, member: 445180"] Don’t ask me where I’ve seen this… there are patches to get Windows 98 to work with more than 512MB of RAM if your computer has [I]too much[/I] RAM (never thought I would ever say “too much RAM”). No clue about laptops in general, I’ve used desktop computers with mainboards from about the year 2004 under Windows 98. Resolution is in general no big problem. With correct graphics drivers I’ve had no problem using my big CRT with 2048*1536 (though 1600*1200 is much more pleasant on that monitor). I agree with the general problem of bad GPU in laptops from that time period. Windows 98 does not include generic mass storage drivers. In order to use USB sticks you would have to install one (I believe it was called NUSB). For using slightly more modern software, KernelEx can be somewhat helpful in some cases. As the official Windows Update features have been disabled for the old DOS based systems you would have to find some inofficial service pack in order to get all components to the latest version. [LIST] [*]Internet Explorer 6 (the browser is useless, but some old things rely on it so it makes sense to include it) [*]DirectX 9 [*]If you want/need it .NET Framework 1.1 (and maybe even version 2) [/LIST] Floppy drive is not needed unless you want it for retro feeling. There is a limitation on the fdisk utility. It will show garbage values for HDDs bigger than 80GB – but it can still partition them fine using %-values. It don’t think bigger HDDs are a problem. There is definitely no 32GB limit. (That is an artificial limit in [I]modern[/I] Windows which refuse to format bigger partitions to FAT32 – Windows 98 will happily use more than 32GB) CD/DVD writers are no problem either. I used them back then with Nero under Windows 98. [/QUOTE]

I bought a pair of joy cons for really cheap, but the right side wasn't being detected by the console when attached to it, it was charging though
Today at 9:54 PM
@
NinStar
:
I took a look at the rail and noticed that the two last pins were soldered for some reason, luckly I still had the rail of my broken joycon so after I swapped them I was able to use it attached to the console

:
I'm pretty sure I know the reason it was soldered, but I don't know why someone would do that directly on the joycon
