Re: What's up with my CRT, and, are these contemporary Creative speakers even shielded?

Posted on 2023-08-02, 21:14

I picked up a lovely Iiyama VisionMaster 450 a little while ago. It's very nice to have a CRT at last, I can enjoy seamless old PC/Mac gaming and even my Dreamcast on there too. However, there are some things with it that I'm not sure about. Firstly, while lower resolutions look good, up to about …

No. It is like value of the computer went down sudden if I hear anything that is considered important that potentially fail and SSD *is* finite endurance. Endurance means finite use and finally fails, much like hard drive does. Therefore *MUST* be replaceable helps with value of the console or …

If I had to hazard a guess, could this be an availability issue? I know production is starting to ramp up again after the unspecified virus of unknown origin, but if this particular part became scarce, that could explain why Apple has moved to only including it in higher-priced tier systems. If it …

Re: Getting Unreal and Unreal Tournament to work on Win98

I'm in the same boat, for UT in my case. I know this is an old thread, but Unreal Tournament is a pretty popular game and this thread is probably going to be revisited by many over the years. What is the best way to get Unreal Tournament running on Windows 98, with Glide/3dfx acceleration? This …

Re: Radeon 9800 Pro or Mx440 for Win 98 SE gaming

Posted on 2023-06-20, 10:53

You know, I had this exact conundrum a while back when I was trying to pick between a slower PCI-graphics card and a Radeon 9200 for a system with a slot 1-motherboard. It's important to note that some slot 1-boards with VIA chipsets do actually support higher front-side-bus speeds with the proper …

Re: Windows 95 - memory leaks? Memory issues

Posted on 2023-06-06, 08:03

@leonardo : your suggestion bore fruit. The 2 non-working WIN95 machines used comctl32 ver 4.70 and 4.72 respectively, while the working machine used 5.81 Both non-working machines had IE 3.0 as their browser. On one machine I upgraded to 5.5 SP2, which fixed the 7zip issue and the usability of K- …

Re: DirectX install on Win95 OSR 2.5

Posted on 2023-06-06, 07:54

I normally install the latest that the OS can handle. So, 8.0 for Win95. If you've never installed DirectX on the machine before, you might need to install dcom95 first as a prerequisite. DCOM is required by DirectX 8.0, but not by 7.0. Mostly DOS based games, and very few Windows 95 specific ones, …

Re: Windows 95 - memory leaks? Memory issues

Posted on 2023-05-30, 09:54

Well... to get back on topic... After seeing this story of leakages, I started up the system monitor to see what this one did. I could see the swapfile grow, but after waiting about 1-2 minutes it would be released. Same with memory usage. So, if there's supposed to be a leakage issue, I couldn't …
