I really enjoyed this, excellent effort. You are probably right that very few people can appreciate it, but they're definitely not non-existent.

@konc: all sorts of things pop up on that site, but no DOSBox download... Yeah the page only has 8 different file hoster links... https://1fichier.com/?w5yj93wzp8vsz1bjna7v https://anonfiles.com/d5F067nfu1 https://bayfiles.com/Z5E565n8u4 https://dailyuploads.net/d5viqi0b82zn https://megaup.net/ …

Maybe it wasn't clear before the way I wrote it: download and use an SVN version of dosbox https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/SVN_Builds and you'll be able to mount multiple floppy images. The released version of dosbox simply doesn't have this feature.

This was very informative. Thanks. So what about using a mouse on the same port, what kind of mouse? Is it the same as something we know - like the Amiga, or Atari mouse? What about driver? Yes, it is something we know but probably not what you'd expect: it uses the BUS mouse interface (derived …

Keep in mind, that EuroPC1 is different from EuroPC2. For the EuroPC1 you could get a dual joystick-card with 2 analoge 15 ports. For the EuroPC2 you could get a y-cable with two 9pin digital ports for hooking up on the joystick-port of the EuroPC2 directly. The EuroPC part is correct, but I …

in 1990 i bought a 8bit joystick-card for two analog joysticks. the "digital" joystick 9pin is not usable. don't know any working joystick or game for that. I just made this video about digital joystick on PC.: https://youtu.be/Kk_TplXl5_Q When i was i Joystick mode, i started think about the …
Re: Voodoo 2 - Heatsinks Needed?
Posted on 2021-03-24, 19:23
Regarding adhesives, there are excellent thermal conductive pads from reputable brands that can easily keep a heatsink on and at the same time are not like glue and can be easily removed. 3M has a lot of these products and they look like in the attached photo (I'm not suggesting alibaba but 3M, this …

For anyone buying a new USB floppy available now on the market, a current model, my experience is that if they don't explicitly mention DD/720KB compatibility they don't have it.

From what I understood you've only tried Unreal? I'd try something else too to see if it's glide instability in general or specifically in Unreal.

Deathtrack kinda fits the description, although it also supports CGA & Hercules and is not exactly Formula cars
Re: Multiple disk images
Posted on 2021-03-19, 18:38
You are not doing anything wrong, the official latest version really doesn't support mounting multiple floppy images. I haven't tried and I didn't know about what BloodyCactus suggested above, obviously he knows better, but another option is to download and use an SVN version of dosbox. These …

Re: Has this 486 L2 cache registered OK?
Posted on 2021-03-19, 10:55
256Kx8bit chips are 256KB each and cachecheck reports only 32KB of L2, so without looking any further something is definitely way off. Are you sure your motherboard accepts 256Kx8 chips and that much cache in total? Also the configuration looks weird to me (4+2? Unless there are more chips not …

You can try it in plain dos to see if the card itself works properly, bypassing all the windows/drivers potential problems in order to narrow down your troubleshooting. Just make sure to try something that works with a voodoo3 and to have the correct patch/batch file if needed. You mean by …

I also have a CL5428 & IDE VLB combo card, unfortunately the brand and layout is completely different so I can't help you with the jumper settings. Regarding it's intended use, I always thought those were not meant to provide any performance advantage over 2 distinct cards, but to let someone with …
