@aaronsgiles Yes you cannot get through GOGs support. I think we need an inside contact.
Anyone knows someone from the internal GOG team and can make a connection?
X-Wing Alliance is broken too.

Installing #Windows98 on the ITX-Llama motherboard. Getting college flashbacks.
I just extracted the 3D Flower Box screensaver from Win98's ISO, dropped it into my Windows 10's system32 folder, and.......IT WORKS! IN 4K !! #retro #win98 #screensavers
I managed to fix the #SQLite issue.
So far the #curl problem eludes me.
Curl checks if the connection is established using select().
On #Win10 this eventually returns 1, on #win98 it always returns 0.
I checked with a self made endpoint and the connection is established. Only cf_tcp_connect()->SOCKET_WRITABLE()->Curl_socket_check()->Curl_poll()->our_select()->select() never sees it 
Good morning Monday, let's start the new week like never before.

Trying to install 98 on my smol fujitsu retro PC.
Magic command was "SETUP.EXE /NM /IS"
I can neither confirm, nor deny that this is a running #win32 port of #DOjS. Please move on, there is nothing to see (because it does not yet start on #Win98)...

@krishean I've had somewhat of a success with creating the gcc using this script I cobbled together:
https://gist.github.com/SuperIlu/1f0ed930d907442c0fcb2566f7e63ae9
The resulting binary runs fine on VBox and 86box.
It bluescreens on my AMD K6-II machine. But that seems to be a little wonky, so I'll re-check on another machine later..
Anyone out there got a picture of that #Microsoft #Windows 98 pill tube that they were handing out at the launch of #win98 ?
It was filled with M&Ms or something of the sort, and the tube had the #Windows98 logo and "Instant Relief" written on it.
I swear, this was absolutely real, and it was given to us by Microsoft Norway representatives. For some reason they did not think it funny when I asked "are these su___de pills?".
This weekend I tried to compile #Allegro for #Win9x with #mingw.
I was able to get the examples running on #Win10, but when I copied them over to my #Win98 box they crashed with an illegal instruction.
That happened because mingw on #Ubuntu is targeting i686 and I have an AMD K6-II in my test rig.
Then I tried compiling mingw myself with i386 as a target, that failed because the 386 is missing an instruction that is needed by the runtime library.
I got it working with i486, though.

Got a challenge:
PC Compaq Presario 5320 Pentium II 5/25/1999
AMD K62 400/100 MHZ
PC100 224MB RAM
40GB HDD
The costumer wants me to resurrect it by installing a light Linux.
Let's see !
