It's harder than ever in 2025 to play DOS and Windows games on original hardware, but a modern ITX motherboard known as the ITX-Llama has recently released - it uses a Vortex X86 System on Module processor package and with old school ports like PS2 Mouse and Keyboard as well as a dedicated AGP slot for connecting up a graphics card, the ITX-Llama has been designed to check off every box you could possibly need to play old school games. I can finally build a modern Windows 98 PC experience that I've been searching for. In today's episode we take a closer look at this awesome motherboard. ► ITX-Llama Info Page - https://smallformfactor.net/news/retro-sff-itx-llama-is-a-brand-new-dos-win98-retro-pc-with-agp-opl3-wav-header-and-adjustable-cpu-performance/ ► ITX-Llama Preorder/Waitlist - https://retrodreams.ca/ ► GitHub Page - https://github.com/eivindbohler/itxllama ► Phils Computer Lab Website (3dfx Drivers) - https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ ► Phils Computer Lab YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@philscomputerlab/ ► Fractal Design Terra Jade ITX Case - https://amzn.to/41iGQLB (affiliate link) ► FAT32 Formatter - http://ridgecrop.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm ► AGP Adapter - https://adexelec.com/agp-single-risers ► Games Shown: Total Annihilation, Unreal, Formula 1 (Psygnosis), Eye of the Beholder, C&C Red Alert, Moto Racer, Shogo, House of the Dead, Wipeout XL, Shadows of the Empire, Stone Keep, Need for Speed II SE Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction to the ITX-Llama 01:24 - Closer look at the hardware 06:11 - Mini ITX Cases and mounting challenges 08:47 - Setup challenges 10:32 - Testing Games 13:20 - Some Problems with sound hardware 14:32 - Conclusion 14:59 - Outro Social Media Links : ► X : https://x.com/ModernVintageG ► Threads : https://threads.net/ModernVintageGamer ► Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/ModernVintageGamer ► IG : https://www.instagram.com/modernvintagegamer/ ► BandCamp : https://modernvintagegamer.bandcamp.com/ #Windows98 #RetroPC
