Re: AVOID the GT Software CD release of Corridor 7: Alien Invasion

in DOS
I think a photograph of the CD itself might be helpful as well, just in case somebody comes across a loose CD. Or maybe you got ripped off and the "sealed" box you bought was really just a re-sealed box with the wrong CD in it. Done. Thanks for the suggestion. The factory seal was period correct …

Re: Slow AVI with DX4-100 in Windows 3.11

Ok. so some progress has been made. For the goodtimes.avi and other AVI's on the Windows 95 CD it's a CPU speed issue... the CPU needs to run slower [I temporarily disabled the DX4-100's cache] and the videos played fine, so i'm assuming it's either the Cinepak codec at fault or the Windows 3.11 …

Re: Slow AVI with DX4-100 in Windows 3.11

@cyclone3d SmartDrv is enabled for CD however, with or without though doesn't change anything regarding this matter. IDE modes are in "AUTO", there are no IRQ conflicts. @Jo22 VFW 1.1E is what I use it's the final release for Windows 3.x. Intel Indeo codecs installed are 2.1/RAW and 3.2 Trying …

Re: ti4200 AGP 4x or 8x or maybe ati 9800 pro?

if agp 4 and 8 perform the same, then what is it that stops the scaling in DOS high resolutions? For DOS, the limiting factor is CPU, bus speed and memory bandwidth. AGP nor GPU has anything to do with framerate in DOS like it does in Windows as there is no acceleration for DOS using a GPU (except …

Re: PCI vs Older AGP

Just remember that you're talking 1998, AGP didn't come out until late 1997 and was still not mainstream in 1998 as most gamers and casual gamers were doing just fine with dual 12MB Voodoo 2 cards in SLI mode. At that point in time AGP was still a niche thing and mainly only hardcore gamers were all …

Re: Are GeForce 256 DDR cards that rare?

The GF 2 Ti came out quite late. I think even when the GF3 was already out. Basically as a budget alternative? Ah, thanks Phil for clearing that up. Sort of a silent release budget card I'd imagine because Nvidia would want gamers to buy a shiny new GeForce 3 series card. I wonder if the GeForce 2 …

Re: Are GeForce 256 DDR cards that rare?

I suppose this is as good a place to ask as any, but.. Which model of GeForce 2 is the Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 TH? It doesn't say Titanium on the card, neither does it say MX, just TH.. AFAIK there is no 'plain' GeForce 2? Not sure what the TH moniker would be as GeForce 2 came out as GeForce 2 …

Re: Best PCI graphics card for Windows 98

You've obviously have never experienced just how horrible of a card series the GeForce FX series was. They were the weakest cards for their era due to the fact that Nvidia decided to put the shaders in an array which wasn't an industry standard and no one really supported it. The FX series had …

Re: Are GeForce 256 DDR cards that rare?

Something I've noticed about GF256 is that it doesn't run as smoothly as the frame rate would seem to indicate. Frame time issues I suppose. When I swap in a GeForce2 or TNT2, the gameplay is smoother. NV15 is really just a tweaked and bug fixed NV10 so who knows what's up. Yep, back in the day …

Re: Best PCI graphics card for Windows 98

Only get the 6200 if compatibility is not a concern, the 9250 is a decent choice given the 5500's weaknesses generation wise. "Weakness" ? Radeon 9250 is DX8.x only. I'm pretty sure FX 5500 with 128-bit DDR memory bus will anihilate Radeon 9250 64-bit (in any game). You've obviously have never …

F-15 Strike Eagle III freezes

in DOS
Hi all, I have recently aquired a complete boxed F-15 Strike Eagle III for a mere $1.50 so I was thrilled and brought it home installed it on my 486 PC but it freezes on the screen with the guy standing over a map in the hangar (start of the game). As soon as the mouse moves it does a hard system …
