Hey SUCRA. I went researching 486DX-4 100 processors and found your video. I love how you call the machine "rust bucket" LOL. Agreed about Phil's computer labs. His site is full of great tutorials and downloads. I also use his MS-DOS starter pack. Great stuff!
Hey, Sean! Cool, thanks for checking it out! I was so naive, I had no idea I was going to cover 486s so much 😆
@@SUCRA Not a problem. I need to spend some time going through your back catalog of videos.
@@geekwithsocialskills hah, no worries, I need to do the same here for your channel. So much content. 😅
Nice machine and video! Always good to see an old one brought back to life.
Thanks Rik! I appreciate you stopping by here very much. Like usual, I'll try to hop in your next stream, those are fun.
Absolutely brilliant video man! So much information, and so well presented! For a 10 minute video, this is an incredible amount of information and it’s so clearly presented! Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it, don't hold back in any suggestions that would make delivery better, I love those. Keep up the good work on your channel.
@@SUCRA Thank you man! I can’t think of anything glaring here! This video was so brilliantly presented! Keep up the amazing work! I can’t wait for the next video!
@@RetroTechBytes thank you, means a lot! I'll probably vary into something modern for next week. I don't like to do retro every single video for the channel, we do have to deal with modern stuff too in day-to-day.
My 1st PC was a DX2 66 from late 93, i upgraded it to 8MB in 1994 so that it could play the games you have mentioned.. love it.
@@downundergarage6968 Funny how nostalgia works. Now that it's been a while since this video I'm nostalgic for my original 486 in the 90s but also for this moment a few years ago when I delved back into it.
I never really gave much attention to this, but the art printed in the old CDs for games were beautiful!
True, in the old days there was a lot of attention given to the physical media included, cd art, cover art, manuals and box. I love that stuff.
The old 486 days. I upgraded a Packard Bell Legend i486SX-33 system to the i486DX4-100ODP cpu. My gaming improved like 100%. No more stuttering or freezes in Aces of the Pacific!
Legit upgrade! Back then I went from an sx33 to a dx50 and that was already massive to me. After that I had a k5. Thanks for watching!
LOL even the molex connectors semm yellow! :P Nice video!
Thanks dude! Yep, this thing seems like it fell in a pool of cigarette smoke and set there for a year.
I remember the day I bought one. I played Decent and several DOS games that only I liked. While my friends were cycling, went to beach or flew a kite. I had a lot IRQ problems with the audio board... Good times... lol
Haha yeah I remember those irq conflicts, thankfully this went smoothly. But same here anyway, I've always enjoyed my PCs.
Nice to meet you, Rust Bucket. 🙂
For a short video you included a lot of detail. Cyberia was a good inclusion particularly, as you don't see it come up in similar videos. This era was when I did most of my gaming, so it always interests me.
The pacing is really good - the editing of the installation process was perfectly done!
Spectacular, congratulations Bruno, against the tide of consumerism, rare class of technology and science. Congratulations!!!
Thanks man, always good to hear your comments, I'm really glad you enjoyed it.
@@marcelocarvalho2441 Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it, it's fun making these and talking to you guys.
The truly fastest DOS PC of the world,
Really liked DK3D and NFS, its so nostalgic for me. Loving your videos
Thanks man, you are a true gentleman. Keep up the good work on your channel as well 👍
That was a blast from the past, makes me wish I hadn't thrown my old PCs away
Same Kelly, I've thrown a lot of stuff away as well. Slowly getting some of it back though 😂
Thanks for the hard work to show us that piece of history working today.
You're welcome man! Thanks for watching the video. 👍❤️
Memories...
My first PC after my Amiga was an 486 DX2 66 MHz and i instantly tuned it to 80 MHz by raising the bus speed from 33MHz to 40 MHz
Wow early overclocker ei? I'm glad the video brought those memories back, good times! 👍
despite my "hate" for the 486/100 (because I had to use it until late 1999...) that's a nice little project, really enjoyed watching the video! And I agree, that Star Wars game looks really nice for the time (and hardware)
Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it! I definetely want to play some more of that Dark Forces game.
This was so fun to watch! I love the 486 so much, these are my favorite old computers. Great work Bruno!! 👍
Thanks dude, nice to hear from you! It's really fun using that 486, I enjoyed it a lot. Check out the Special Thanks section on the video description.
@@SUCRA I did! Thanks dor the shoutout man I am humbled. I loved seeing this project come together. It always makes me so happy to see new life breathed into an old 486 again.
@@jikissgamer haha yeah man, it's been fun talking to you guys about this stuff, and I hope that never changes
@@SUCRA Same! I could talk about this forever haha. It's my passion.
@@jikissgamer the more you do it, the more you like it, there is too much stuff to check out
Very good, the best vídeo of the old computer.
Soon I will invite you to an online interview.
Thanks man, I'm glad you like it!
very good my friend, same as restoring a Cadillac 👍👏👏👏
Thanks man! Old computers and old cars ❤️
Hey man, Love the Rust Bucket hehehehe
Take care of it
Thanks dude, I'm glad you like it! It's a regular here now, I'm going to use it to test other games, expansion cards and give it some upgrades over time.
@@SUCRA Great! And maybe do some retrobright xD
@@Russell970 I thought about that, but there is too much rust. I'm looking for a new case for it.
Meu amigo, ouvir aquela frase do Duke Nukem me deu uma nostalgia daquelas! Jogava no meu Pentium 133 MHz que peguei depois de vender o 486 SX! Hehehehehehe
Que massa! As falas do Duke são épicas!
The graphics on dark Forces were quite impressive
Isn't it? I need to play some more of that! Great sound design, asthetics, I don't know, its just a great looking game, surprising.
Another great video.
Thanks mom, I do my best.
The jumpers configuration on this motherboard made me crazy. :)
I bet! Luckely they were just fine when I got it! 👍
Sensacional!!
Thanks man!
None of the SB16 based sound cards like the AWE32 and also AWE64 are SB Pro compatible, but only SB compatible. It will sound wrong if you choose SB Pro with distortion and only mono.
Interesting, thanks for clearing that up, I'll have to test it and see how weird it sounds, made me curious.
I also happen to have come in possession of the fastest I486 DX4 100 motherboard, with the CPU, and it's 25 years old.
It still has its original HDD and Windows 95 installed, the only downside was the barrel battery but fortunately that didn't damage anything by the time i got it removed and cleaned.
The motherboard i got has full support of DX tech and also the rare AMD 5x86 that could make it reach 150 mhz in speed.
Once i replace the onboard battery with a CR 2032 and find a PS\2 mouse connector (during booting it shows "PS\2 mouse not installed" it was most likely an OEM thing that was supposed to be connected to COM as there is no dedicated PS\2 mouse connector nor PS\2 pins to solder connector on) i am good to go and i can install my games from my childhood and some more amazing retro games like DOOM.
486 dx4 is a fun little machine because you can play such a huge range of games including some early pentium stuff. I'm glad you got yourself a nice machine there for your childhood games, such a joy to revisit them. Thanks for sharing your finding.
@@SUCRA Thanks to you too.
I got myself recently a nice 486 DX4 100 board that has ISA-VESA setup.
The board fortunately was one of those rare with CR 2032 already installed so it's still 100% perfect, just used some canned air and got shiny as the first day it was made.
I installed a 5.25" floppy drive alongside its "younger brother" 3.5".
It also had windows 95 Plus! and works perfect.
Along with that machine, i got a Pentium 133 to restore (the case was rusty but had really nice PCI cards and a near intact 5.25 floppy drive) and another pentium MMX 200 machine with PS\2 mouse.
@@arbiteras seems like you have your work cut out for you. Good times, have fun!
The main memory installed in that system seems to me edo dram not supported which can cause fps drops in games however the mobo looks like 32 mb of maximum memory supported plus you can also use better vga card of 4 megs or above else can increase the memory from 1 mb to 4 mb in the same trident vga card
thanks for you suggestions
Wonderful machine, I hope you will also try AMD 486 cpu and compare it to that Intel DX4.
Thanks! If I get my hand on one, I sure will.
@@SUCRA You can also try some more programs like old Photoshop version or even Corel Draw or old Office programs to show how cpu's can work with bigger documents. And try some NT 3.5. Everywhere is testing games, no one try to use old machine like workstation.
@@modernandretrogaming interesting idea! I'll try to find some vintage non-game programs for next time.
I like that Star Wars game
It's great! I enjoyed it a lot! 👍
Show!
Vlw king! 🙏
I noticed the rust bucket's BIOS supported mouse input. Is that common? I've dealt with several late 2000s / early 2010s computers that didn't even support mouse input
And no, I definitely wasn't editing the boot order of my high school's computers to boot Linux... I would never do that...
I think it was common because there aren't that many different bios brands. But it's true, some more recent bios don't have that option. Really cool!
@@Jason-fp7vi Ahaha yes, if you did that, you could run your own software, that might have been frowned uppon.
@@SUCRA lmao. Yeah a few groups of us booted Linux live cd's to mess with the windows installation to make admin accounts. Then we installed Halo, Minecraft and GTA 3. We also got admin privileges for the school's screen monitoring software so we could see what other students were doing and hijack there computer remotely. Good times.
@@Jason-fp7vi Sounds like fun times, although I'm sure this is all hypothetical.
Shake It baby...
I got balls of steel!
@@SUCRA lol
@@w1p30ut3r It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. But I'm all out of gum.
todays PC is sponsored by your boy, heinz yellow mustard...
Haha I'll keep waiting for that sponsorship
👽👽👽👽👽👽👽
This is alien tech right here, back in the 60s 😁
You can remove the yellowing of it.. just google how to retro brite it.
Liga o turbo que ele fica mais rápido! 😂😂😂
Ahaha! Only if you no nothing about these things. On mine it makes it about 5 times slower.
@@SUCRA I'm pretty sure that 20 years ago almost nobody knew that
@@ricardofilho6810 don't know man, I did lol
😻
❤️
Banana was a better device name, you shouldn't change it!!!
True haha, it's related to the installer for the driver of the CD-ROM drive. I'm not messing with that at all
When i see "side step" in Duke Nukem i become directly emotional! what an era?😀😀😀
It was such a creative game for the time. Had lots of fun with it.
