Re: Are early levels better than later levels in games?

in Milliways
Shareware Tyrian was loads of fun. I loved the system of gradually accumulating power ups for your ship. But as you reach the end of Shareware, it feels like the game has run it's course. I haven't actually played the Registered levels, but I've seen them on video. It looked to me like the powerup …

Re: redbook cd track audio test, is descent 2 the only tool to test this ?

in DOS
To test the setup you can use any audio player software that supports playing CDs. Usually CDs that combine data+redbook put the music on track 2 and later. Try a standard music CD, those should work too. I've never programmed CD stuff but I doubt any driver is even needed for this. The music tracks …

Re: Retro PC died

For better clarity, I have marked the ones I tested in the image below. The ones in red measured 0.8V. Within the blue circle one measured 1.5V and the other 10V. I then proceeded to measure the other ICs in the same order above ( left of cpu socket) and they all measured similar values (1.5V and …

Re: Retro PC died

If those are constant speed fan connectors, no PWM or voltage based control of the fan speed, then it's not good for the fan speed to be fluctuating. That would mean the +12V supply is fluctuating. As suggested above, by probing the mosfets that feed Vcore, or the inductors, you can probably find …

Re: What was logic behind Radeon VE WITH SDR memory?

DDR has greater setup/latency penalties than regular SDRAM. DDR doesn't fully double the performance but doubling the bus width does. "citation required". Comparing DDR and SDR at the same clock frequency , the setup/latency penalties are expected to be identical. In the case of the GeForce 2MX, we …

Re: What was logic behind Radeon VE WITH SDR memory?

If ATI was already mass producing Radeon chips, then it makes sense they'd want to find a lower end product they could use the same chips with. But more interesting, ... Ati Rage 128 pro 128-bit (memory) - will it be faster in 3D? Will it be more expensive to make? Or about the same? That's the most …
