Thanks for the detailed report. Can you please try to enable SMBus Support back and tick the boxes belonging to 0x61 and 0x62 in the "SMBus Device Exclusion" table and let me know if that fixed the problem. Unfortunately, with the following settings, it did not fix the problem, both with v7.40 and …

tried with your today's build: Thank you, I think it's got FPU correct, but I should check the save files. I managed to get Windows 95B V4.00 Build 1111 B running on my AMD Athlon M2 (Pluto) and think I have found the root cause of many of the strange effects, it seems that GetSystemInfo() fails to …

sure. Thank you, I see FPU is still reported, but from just the screen shots it's impossible to figure out why so I have added some code that may help. What happens with the attached SIV32L V5.81 SMSW-03 test SIV on your W95 i386 system please? As a minimum I need screen shots of the Initial Screen …

BTW I heard that you can use SMSW instruction to get lower 16bit of CR0 register, so it can be used for checking EM bit. Thank you for the pointer, I had a look at SMSW and read: However, it is not a privileged instruction and can be used in application programs if CR4.UMIP = 0 . It is provided for …

@red-ray I wonder if there is a way to detect if Real FPU exists in 386/486 systems? With Windows NT then SIV uses IsProcessorFeaturePresent( PF_FLOATING_POINT_EMULATED ) which works, but this is not an option on Windows 9x. As windows emulates the FPU trying a floating operation in a __try{}__ …

Unfortunately it looks like the whole number scoring system they use is going to lack resolution to really distinguish much for systems slower than 133 Mhz. For Example, a 386 and a 486 CPU get the same CPU score of 1 because that's as low at it goes. https://crystalmarkdb.com/retro/scores/415 …

@red-ray I wonder if there is a way to detect if Real FPU exists in 386/486 systems? it seems that SIV reports FPU exists on a 80387-nonexistant win95 system.

I think the problem is Nero can only interact with CD-burners via ASPI interface, which ATAPI drivers can't do.

I was asking because Windows 3.0 is the latest available version of Windows that somehow works on HP 200LX. Don't know why I pay so much attention to this cute little nonsense ... Maybe because it is cute. Ah, I see. Makes sense. Maybe CA Realizer does work here, it was a Visual Basic alternative. …

since retro PC mainly uses 5V and 3.3V rail, I wonder if we can supplement them by adding 12V to 5V and 12V to 3.3V converters.
