In terms of Windows 98, it is indeed supported by Titanium but I unfortunately found it to be incompatible with P99 last time I tried, in 2012. The P99 patch files apparently include a custom version of the file DSETUP.DLL which requires a newer version of DirectX than what's supported on Windows 98 (9.0c is what I had installed at the time). The game won't launch with P99's version, but when a proper DX9 version of the file is substituted in then P99 complains about outdated spell file. Again, this was in 2012 that I tried.

So yeah I've had to resort to sticking with my WinXP machine as well which yeah still feels plenty classic to me as that's what I mostly played EQ on originally!

I do wish I could play on my Win98 box though, mainly out of curiosity to see how the Voodoo2 SLI setup handles it. If I did that though I'd also have to force myself to use the original UI frame which is available around here somewhere.
