I made second iteration of my WIndows 98 demos testing package ( 234 demos ). It would be nice to add in Vogons library, i have to upload it to Dropbox, because its 18.7 GB (in 5 parts) , Mega and Google drive free have only free 15 GB now, as far i know Dropbox would probably later stop to working …

There is also Crossover frontend from Wine main company as commercial product is not expensive. While a lot of us like those noisy big old …

Is there some simple Vesa / Vga test, with some simple working/ failed summary? It would be good start, better than test it on game basic. Other question is we are sure that all this problems are only videocard related, that other variables arent in the play? For example how about Notebook with …

.. there is 637 vs 848 its so difference is very small and with PCem im getting fully emulated machine without QEMU / VBEMP problem, it would be no brainer sacrifice 25% of performance for that. Same Quake 2, there is difference but its not huge (lets say 50%), as i expected.. .. and if im not …

I just retested everything with WHPX on - new column in Win 98 sheet, its 4-6x faster, i expected smaller difference. From games which are working only Quake 3 still has that half speed problem regardless of 350 FPS+. Update: UT2003 has same problem, regardless of 144 FPS lock. I wonder for games …

BTW what is making 60 FPS limit, dgVoodoo, Qemu itself or Qemu 3dfx? More and more people have now better than 60 FPS …
