I would choose for this system with a GF2 and a Voodoo2 for DirectX and Glide support in one system. I don't see the point of pairing a Voodoo1 with a Voodoo3, but maybe I don't know something what you do know. I have no idea what an Audician 32 Plus is. If you have a SB AWE64 Gold then that is all …

Just looking for a little advice, tips, etc. or what ever you think... So I need to make room and clear up most of my retro collection. Because of PCem and DOSBox ECE I'm good but I still want to have one period correct-ish build than I can adjust as needed. I basically want to whittle it down to …

During the PII/PIII era I didn't really use DOS much, but from my experience with 486 and Pentium class hardware, I noticed the DOS versions of games always ran far better than the windows versions. Less overhead I guess. So now something has changed and I'm not sure why. Tomb Raider now works …

I've been doing some research and found references to a program called TweakIt for tweaking Voodoo cards. Any download links I have found for it are long gone. The company is long gone. The only thing I can find are pictures of it. Does anyone have a copy of this software or a link to it?

Why not submit it to the Vogons driver archive. I was able to find a driver and it was only 3MB. 147MB? That's a bit much. Well, I didn't see where the seller was, their about a 2 hour drive I already got it! And yes, it works! Tried GTA 3dfx, fine there, Tomb Raider 1...not so great but wasn't …

I got one coming but no driver disk. I was hoping someone with the actual driver cd can upload an ISO of the CD (or copy of floppy if there was one) either here or to Vogon's driver library or both. Thanks!

I was wondering if it can be done with DOSBox ECE's fluidsynth implementation. I mostly use Falcosoft MIDI player with various VST plugins and soundfonts. I can stack fonts in MIDIplayer but I was hoping for something internal, making it more portable.

Should I be concerned? YOU SHOULD PANIC! On more serious note: -5v is used only for really old or/and obscure ISA cards, so it's nothing to worry about. Your PSU is just too new to provide -5v line. So on a "even more serious note", you think the the Sound blaster 32 should be fine? I'm not going …

I found that Star Trek Starfleet Command on both Steam and GOG do not mention Windows 10 as compatible but do state XP, Vista, 7 and 8. Steam explicitly says so.

I know Far Cry has graphical issues beyond Windows XP. Games that don't support anything beyond DirectX 9.0 might benefit, however, many run fine under Windows 10. What games do you recommend to stick with Windows XP for? Or even Vista (for fun)
