/vr/ - Retro Games

I filled out my tax returns early this year and I decided to take about half for myself and the rest to savings. I was considering a J-Win98 build. In those days I skipped from DOS to Windows 2000 (I liked NT) and missed out on 98SE. I already have a 486DX4 for my DOS pleasures (still should find a better video and sound cards tho, but those are expensive now), but for the J-Win98 build I am thinking of P3 (1+GHz), Geforce fx, and Soundblaster Audigy 2 which are still reasonably priced. I think those key components should be sufficient but I think it will be too weak for titles like Half-Life 2, F.E.A.R., and Illusion games.

Any suggestions on the build, like some sort of compact flash or modern SD reader to imitate a whole bunch of 120GB HDDs? Power source, adapters for different connectors, etc.? Know of any particular driver difficulties I will encounter? I was jealous of babagesgramps' P3, and figured to give them a shot if there are some unique game experiences I would enjoy. Sadly, I still cannot afford a Roland MT-32 for the DOS machine, but the J-Win98 should be within my budget.

I also noticed the Geforce FX cards have a S-video out. Any good emulators to run on the machine that would take advantage of that feature to TVs? I can't imagine anyone sticking with any 98 support.

There on the right, even cooler for Win95/98: Street Fighter Zero 1&2, Rockman X3, Rockman X4, and Urban Legend in Limbo. Caught my eye.
