People often tell you to "pick your battles". Matt is the kind of person to pick battles nobody else would even think of.
True
its still an upgrade...
he's like, come up with the battles you want to pick for
then pick *all of them*
DougDoug's slogan comes to mind: "Hey this is DougDoug, where we solve problems no one has" LOL
Next thing we know is that Matt wil be running 8K 360fps VR on a 60 year old machine with Windows NT

0:28 whoa… i wonder where that is
I loved the video you made on it :)
Your video was absolutely incredible as always
Wait, did you just randomly stumble across this video? That's pretty wild, anyways see ya on twitch!
OK... You were here. And yes, it is from Japan.
Thank you for the McDonald's training ROM
When I was a kid my uncle used to leave me all of his old PC parts, I pieced together a super slow pentium 2 short tower and slapped a trusty install of Millenium Edition on there and was so damn proud of myself
damn kid you was smart as hell
@@awii.neocities that wasn't even my greatest achievement back then. I took an ancient Dell Optiplex GX1 tower, used a glitch in bios revision A08 to run a higher speed processor, cramed an aftermarket processor board with a celeron (pentium 3 based) 1.4 ghz processor in it and loaded it with windows Vista. It ran great

The Michealsoft Binbows joke at 0:28 hits different after the Nick Robinson video.
can you explain? I'm not sure what you're talking about
@@saifukh ruclips.net/video/yDzAAjzbV5g/видео.html this video should explain it
Gave you the 100th like for how relatable this is
@@saifukh Michealsoft Binbows was actually a used computer shop in Japan. The video in question is titled '"MICHAELSOFT BINBOWS" isn't what you think it is' from channel "Nick Robinson".
Retail versions of Windows ME were "expansion" or "upgrade" disks for Windows 98. The version you have (the non-bootable kind) were meant to upgrade from windows 95/98 to Windows ME. They had the full install on them, but were not meant to be used as a clean install CD.
What a completely pointless waste of time... I loved it.

don't you call others mistakes a waste of time 😳
I love the druaga1 reference and I'm just gonna say if you have seen a 2007 imac in person you can easily tell it apart!
the difference to me is like i cant even say anything different
The black bezels are curved at the bottom, it has a thick chin and the display is little less wider cuz the display is of a 16:10 aspect ratio unlike the later iMacs which have aspect ratio of 16:9
Edit: The back of it is composed of black plastic and not aluminum unlike the later iMacs.
I knew it wasn't just me tripping!
This is what adding insult to injury looks like.
Love it.
And the ridiculous amount of effort to get it done, condensed in 18 minutes... you have some perseverance!
I love these videos so much. I appreciate how you don’t just show the results, but you also show the entire process.

"The CD driver didn't detect the CD drive, which I honestly somewhat expected."
That is a sentence. That is definitely a sentence.

"The CD drive _r_ ", not CD drive twice
-thanks YT formatting for not working if next to other characters-
@@TheNathannator Wow, you're right. Somehow I totally heard "drive" twice. My mistake.

Thank you 🙏
4:09 you do the middle finger
At 5:47 I somehow read "BALLACHE" instead of "LBACACHE" and that describes this whole procedure pretty accurately.
I have never heard the term ballache but even then ballache has been burnt into my vocabulary
...thanks, now I'll never be able to unsee the word BALLACHE
this comment gives me ballache
I mean, describes using Windows Me too.

Eh, it's not like you could install any DOS-based system... actually, not even 2000 on any "relatively modern" Intel CPU. I'm not even sure Coffee Lake runs XP.

@@extremegrief1525 hi
You’re a true genius! I love your work ❤️
16:38 Oh, that graph! I nearly chocked from laughing when i saw it=))
Where would you put XP in it tho?
@@phs125 ok so XP to binary is 01011000 01010000 and convert that to decimal
And you get 88 80 so
XP is 168 if you add them together or 7040 if you multiply
You could probably take the PCI-E slot that holds the AirPort card and adapt it to a full slot to plug in a USB controller that actually has drivers for 9x. It's also possible that if your model has a discrete GPU, it _might_ be replaceable with a different card that supports 9x. I'm not sure what socket it's using, but looking at ifixit's teardown, they mention it might be standard.
It's MXM
I keep nodding my head at MattKc videos. Brings back the memories of old os models and gives me the sheer joy of seeing why anyone would do this.
him popping into frame at 3:40 scared the crap out of me, i thought there was someone behind me lmaooo

6:18 That's partially correct. MS-DOS 7 sits underneath Windows 95 and 98, while ME uses MS-DOS 8.
Bruh, your background music is awesome. I recognized a lot of those chiptunes.

WAIT THATS NOT ROYALTY-FREE
Lock was not part of MS-DOS 6.x, but it was part of DOS 7 (Win95/98) and DOS 8 (WinMe) to help protect long file names. You would typically just type "lock c:" thought to allow those "risky operations".

Damn, nice content Matt. you got a new Sub :)

I see you still have that NSYNCified Windows 98 machine. 😂
Great video, nonetheless! Really interesting stuff, as usual!
You are a -mad- Matt man!
You magnificent, cray person you, I cannot believe it was even slightly functional! I have a project to play with on my own 2009 iMac now haha
2:30 BEST STARTUP SOUND!
so, adding a bit here. WIndows uses int13h in real mode to access the HDD. msconfig can force that (it's Force ocompatibility mode disk access) which might be making the difference TBH. PS/2 devices are emulated through the use of System Management Mode, and as long as something is polling the fake PS/2 port, it should still be sending events.
Modular Windows (aka SETUP.EXE) is likely also using 32-bit disk access which is why that's falling over as well. Dunno if you tried that, but if I had an iMac, I'd poke this. Apple's BIOS compatibility was pretty garbage all around, it was just enough to start NTLDR, and I remember GRUB had to patch some things to make Linux work on Macs.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video
Wow, excellent video!
My instinct would be to check if (1) drivers for older Nvidia devices might work and (2) see if anyone has made a universal driver.
Then, if I was really dedicated, I might try to find a USB to keyboard PS/2 active adapter that worked with Windows ME. And then try actually using a PS/2 keyboard or mouse, depending on which was available. Also could try a USB COM port adapter.
(I'm assuming you messed around with the Kernelex settings to try and get it to think that it was Windows 2000.)
I’ve never clicked a notification so fast in my life

Congrulations!
When I was a kid my brothers and I got my dad's old computer, running windows ME. So many good memories.
"The CD drive didn't detect the CD drive." Yeah I don't think that's a good signal.
the first "drive" is actually "driver" if you listen closer.

You're such a nerd xD Love it! just a tip: May want to increase the saturation of the "me" in the thumbnail, was a bit hard to see for me at least :)
it looks fine to me
Nice thumbs up on the reflective screen. :)
this makes me question my existence everynight. Subscribed
It's getting dark. I'm laying comfortably in my bed watching you install ME on an iMac and then... I'm almost getting a heart attack as I think there is someone standing right behind me. Turns out it was your reflection on the iMac screen all the time... thanks.
I remember ME being unstable and wonky back in the day. Made XP look all that much better.

Hi - this was good to watch
Just some things that may help
When setting up plain dos 6.2 , there are 2 Cd-bootable 4meg and a 5 or 6 meg dos 6.22 iso's running around, it is basically a 6.22 start up disk but has some extra batch file to all fdisk and installing or upgrading dos, i have used this on Pentium 3- Pentium 4 , and much newer Pentium M and C class machines that are basically 2000-2010 win XP style machines or newer
Secondly once the base dos 6.22 is installed in you cant read the CD/DVD then i use a USB (linux puppy 4 or 5 is good , small and fast on newer machines ) and i drop some other cdrom drivers for config.sys , they include the normal dos 5 and dos 6 , teac branded driver, toshiba driver, oaksystems, gscdrom.sys , videccd.sys
I enable each driver in config sys - all grouped togeter and i give each one a seperate naem in its line in config sys - i just call them cd1, cd2 , cd3 etc
In the autoexec.bat i used multiple lines of mscdex.exe and after the exe name i quote each of the cdrom names i used in config.sys - they mush be exact match
This way when it boots i hi have about 5 or 6 different drivers and hope one works - i have had some good success this way and interesting enough the oak and the toshiba drivers usuallywork - even on dvd laptops
once i get one to work i just edit config.sys and autoexec.bat and rem out the ones not needed
The same with the mouse driver,again i use dos 5 oand .22 default exe/com's i use mouse.com , qmouse, ctmouse ( from freedos i have 2 or 3 verison of this one is better in legacy / PS2 i just rename them ctmouse1 ctmouse2)
Not sure with WinME as it is dos based, but you should be able to create a initial 2gig dos 6.22 partition, set it up to bootable ( i dont know why your format and the sys did not work, usually it is 99% you do format /u ( the /u is for unconditional and not a quick format ) i normally do that first to make sure the entire partition is properly formatted as format /q just wipes the fat table and prepares the first few sectors only ( well its not what it does technically but that is the way i tell myself it is a quick cheat and not a proper format )
Once i know the partition hold a format, you can then do a format /s to reformat and make it system bootable, or you can just do sys c: ( or sys and the drive letter )
Remember - you cannot format is sys the drive letter you booted from, if you cdrom boot or usb boot that is fine, you can format and sys the hard drive, but if you rebooted and are on that working partition / driver letter you cannot run those 2 commands - well it is sort of self destruct isnt it
Re the no working ME, what i have done in the past is boot of USB with linux or even freedos, i copy and install the suitable version or remote control software Real VNC www.realvnc.com/en/
there should be a unzip or folder runable archive ( not one that needs to run and install and attach to registry etc ) and edit the win.ini or systemm.ini and add it to the run= section, it will auto load and run the program, once that is done you can remote control that pc from another system
Note for win98x or similar do you do need a very early version 4 to work on these older windows

George
“Something you’ve probably been screaming at me through the screen”
No, I only understand roughly 5% of what you’re saying and I love it
HAHA exactly...
I was like "Linux? That's Ubuntu! Linux is for PS2s!"
You could have probably used a remote desktop / VNC solution to use the machine. An old version of synergy might have worked too.
I had this issue multiple times with many different windows versions. My system installation ran in to all sorts of problems when i had any external flash or hard drive connected. Funny that you had this issue here.
Really nostalgic seeing that Windows Millennium startup menu. It brings back a lot of memories for me.
6:34 "Congrulations!" I can't tell if this is chingrish or not but either way it's hilarious
"This thing is so reflective I could probably do a makeup tutorial on it"
You know we need it, Matt.
Also, did you know Microsoft actually intended it to be pronounced 'Me' (1 word) rather than 'Em-Ee'? Yeah, neither did 90% of Me users.
So my "incorrect" pronunciation of Windows Me when I was a kid was correct this whole time?
nice video! great work
This reminds me of a project where I worked to get Warframe to boot on my MacBook just to see if it would. Granted, it only ran at like 10fps, but did technically work.
1:21 RIP Steve Jobs.
well 2:03 i nfact if you install win 10 on an Hard drive, swap that HardRive inside the mac, it should boot windows, granted there is no driver support but it boots...
So if you just dd if=/WindowsHDD/ of=/MacOsHDD/ you can get windows on your mac Whitout actually swapping any hard drive.
Aditionally you can dd if=/MacosHDD/ of=/Externalhdd/ | and proceed to Boot MacOS in a Virtual Machine from any other Machine/OS
The amount of backwards troubleshooting is amazing. It's my style
If you haven't already, please do try and venture into the Windows 2000 hypothesis that you mentioned. I'd LOVE to see Windows 2000 working on this iMac or something close to it, as that might just be what I'd need to breathe some life into a machine of my own. Thanks for this video, mate!
windows: seems like this app won’t work, but we can run it in windows XP mode to fix it
apple: this app won’t work. ever. don’t even try.
me: smashes the mac brutally using a hydrant
apple: ...
The macOS experience goes from "Dang, this is smooth" to B I T E M E. No in-between.

Never knew I'd hear that name outside of LGR.
That thing is actually a hardware store before.
I'm surprised you didn't try putting stuff in the Autostart folder to get it to run outside of safe mode
I just wanted to screen savers and you delivered
Back in 2019, I actually got Windows 2000 to natively run on my pre-built CyberPowerPC system, even with then-8 GB of memory. It was surprisingly fast, even though in order to get Windows 10 back on the system, I had to boot into a Windows XP install disc to format the drive into a usable state for Windows 10 to recognize at all.
I find it hilarious that it could run DOS and every other version of windows with not as many issues. That is just how shitty Windows ME was.
No no no. It's only because there are no drivers for the modern hardware. DOS doesn't care about that. You can't blame Windows ME for this.
4:59 what's the bg music??
Nice intro jingle!
Just came fast here after reminding me from that Win98 installation on modern laptops.
-Oh my, this is another thing.
Also that time I saw that video I was finding out for a way to install win98 on a flash drive to play in my laptop. I didn't get it to work yet but I've found the universal video drivers a fantastic thing for studying proposals.
the reason your retail ME disc is not bootable is because Im pretty sure it came in 2 versions, there was a "new pc" and "upgrade" version, I forget where I read but it was a thing they were doing at that time to make the cost to entry of previous owners to incentivize upgrading to this new OS.
Yeah, pretty sure the "full version" was bootable. Idk for sure though.
Matt did you just think you could take a clip of the druaga1 macbook running xp without any noticing? Think again.
@@Miguel-gr9js it's a joke.....
That is wild, I just picked up a mid 2007 iMac off of Craigslist for like $40 and I was looking for something to do with it. I'm going to put Windows 98 on it.
