Thank everyone. The problem turned out to be corrupted install media. Working great now on both systems! Working on 32-bit disk access now, to speed things up.

Does anyone know where i can find WDM drivers for windows 98se that DONT try to install the soundblaster compatible modules as well? I have a SB16 PnP allready in the system, and, while i can disable the sb compatibility, it seems to be causing some issues. I still need the WDM driver installed for …

Trying to get wfw working, but setup freezes randomly. Tried to use an install that I allready had working on my 486, but after starting, I get the dreaded MAIN.GRP is invalid or corrupt. So far I've tried this on 2 systems: Sis 530 chipset K6/2 500mhz machine, 128mb of ram, 20 gig disk (Ms-dos …

Thanks! I picked up the win3.1 driver package attached to this post at some point, but tbh I never got around to trying them so I cannot vouch for anything. There's a screenshot in there indicating they originated from Compaq, and showing them running at 1024x768 64k colors, which sounds exactly …

Hi. I Have heard in another post that there are drivers to get a Voodoo 3 working under Windows 3.11. I'm trying to get 1024x786 at either 16k color depth (I have a very nice background image) This system dual boots into windows 98, where i use the voodoo 3 for some 3dfx games (Quake 3 and …

Thanks ALOT for this...My Trident 8900D has been annoying me for years with this issue! Worked like a charm Spent 15 minutes between Cold and Warm boots...Color everytime! TOTALLY worth the thread necro! You may yell at me now if that is your pleasure :D EDIT: Forgot to mention that the video seems …

Was wondering if anyone here is using this card with their old consoles. I'm considering swapping out my small CRT tv and useing an old monitor instead. IIRC, vga was analog-only (or quasi-digital if you include the vsync/hsync) In theory, there shouldn't be any input lag unless the card uses a …

It's been quite the while since I've had occasion to use NUSB, but while I'm sure there are people here who could help, I would think that the MSFN support thread would be a better place to ask. I'm also curious as to why you're using 3.3e when there are later versions available, although …

Please forgive me if this is the wrong area, as its in-between Windows and hardware, though more on the Windows end I suppose. I installed nusb3.3e to allow me to use my VIA 3038-based usb 2.0 pci card to access flash drives and the like. While I understand the CPU bears the brunt of dealing with …

Have the above motherboard, but was wondering if anyone else was having a similar issue. While i can't speak for everything else on the board, the sbawe32 isa main chips seem to be running very very hot- almost too hot to touch. I dont think this is normal....or is it? Edit: Tried it on another …

Trying to get the onboard sound chip to work with a high dma channel. With another motherboard (a no-name I've long since gotten rid of, shame on me) I was able to get high dma, but on this oem Intel board i cannot. I'd really like to use it, i remember the sound being fantastic in dos games. For …

I'm trying to play quake 1 under win98 with a Nvidea mx400 (64M AGP) and for some reason, i cant get it to play smooth. While moving, the game will play fine for about 5 seconds, then it jumps forward and then back, like the fps rate isnt consistent. Ive tried it on 2 motherboards, a P3 1ghz and a …

Was just curious if anybody's experienced sound problems with the sb line of cards using 16-bit dma, and if so, how they solved it For example, I have a Tyan S1854 Slot1/Socket 370. Its a decent board otherwise, Takes a P3 1ghz, and has one ISA slot. Its based around a VIA chipset (of which ive …

Update: On an impulse, i bought a Yamaha pci card from ebay. Bad idea. Maybe its the implementation, but theres no high dma (tried with Yamaha's drivers) Crashes under win98se dosbox running Blood while doing the sound test no matter how its configured. :( Chip is the YMF724F-V. Too bad, It must …

Thanks for your reply! I re-checked the cards - The Ati is a RV100 32mb sdram card, while the geforce mx400 is DDR 64meg. Funnily (if thats a word) enough, the geforce card has markings of NV-11-A1 and MX-400, Am i missing something here or is that the pre NV-35 that you speak of? I did read your …

Need some suggestions on a video card the works well under 98se and XP Motherboard is a Asus p4s800 (1.5v agp only) Requirements are Stability with 2D games from that later dos/pentium era in a win98 dos box (Carmageddon) Some 3D usage (heaviest Quake 3) Passively cooled (machine is going to be in a …

Thanks for the reply. No, I'll be playing dos games in a win98 dos window. I just read here http://dukertcm.com/knowledge-base/downloads-rtcm/blood-patchs/#insw That apparently, The bug exists with the SB Live! version of cards Does anyone know a pci card that DOESN'T suffer from this bug or the …

I've been looking into a PCI card for retro gameing (yes, i know the general rule - go with ISA) and I was wondering about the live series of cards. Specifically, how good the sb16 emulation was in win98se, and if it suffered the same reverb crash in the build-engine series of games that the pci128 …
