I've decided to add a Hollywood Plus EM8300 based DVD/MPEG2 decoder to my Cyrix 5x86-133/4x build, which dual boots between w9x and NT4. Does anyone have the Hollywood Plus, REALMagic Sigma Designs (EM8300) drivers for NT4?
I should have the Creative branded DXR2 and DXR3 drivers, for which I believe the DXR3 is for the Hollywood Plus, but I was hoping for the Sigma Designs branded drivers and application disk.
I looking at the web archive, I see reference to a file names here, but cannot find them anywhere:
https://web.archive.org/web/19991127163637/ht … nload_hw+nt.htm
REALmagic Hollywood Plus
Windows NT
Release 1.8 bulid 120
Driver: Hwp1_8n1.zip <------------ ANYONE HAVE THIS?
Application: Hwp1_8n2.zip <------------ ANYONE HAVE THIS?
It also looks like there was a v2.41 release for NT4, but the file names don't even appear:

REALmagic Hollywood Plus

Driver: probably: HP2_41n1.zip <------------ found
Application: probably: HP2_41n2.zip <------------ found
I was able to find the v2.41 of the w9x drivers already:

And almost all of the w9x v1.8 driver pack:

The problem with the wayback links for downloads was that Sigma Designs hosted all these files on an FTP and doesn't appear as if wayback will archive these ftp links. Either that, or the issue with FTP transfers being eliminated from modern browsers has reared its ugly head again.
Some useful links which talk about these cards:
