Ragnarok for Windows 98

[Omnija]

So lately i got down to setting up an oldies gaming 98's computer and remembered that ragnarok used to be compatible with it. I then came to the conclusion its client support has been dropped just as far back ago. So i was hoping someone could help me out on figuring out a solution on finding a working client or a mean of getting it to work, so i can host a small home server for my win98  community gaming spree.

why not windows xp and up ?

you can download it from the internet

if you think that this (potato)PC can't handle windows xp then it can't handle ragnarok XD

it's because i'm using it to run traditional DOS games (natively) as well, it can run xp but sort wanted it to be at a place it runs the best of 2 worlds. I wanted to keep the retro ... Retro.

well

Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5
DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)

those what you need to run ragnarok

You need to run old clients that doesn't requires above requirements, which I assume 2008ish and below, you said retro right?

Not sure about the server side though, maybe you'll need eathena instead of rA.

iirc the oldest windows version that can run rA is winXP.

for the client you can ask some people here, or google it yourself.
