Thanks for the feedback! 😀 Tried to set it to vgaonly, but I think 720x400 isn't a 4:3 resolution, the black bars are still there.
4:3 Aspect ratio
Posted on 2016-02-26, 17:53
Hi all :) I'm having issues using Dosbox on my new WinXP machine, which is a Core2Duo with a GTX285. It's attached to a 4:3 CRT monitor, but DOS prompt won't fill the screen vertically at full screen mode. Already tried to set aspect=true and fullresolution=640x480 or original. Renderer is OpenGL. I …
Re: UT99 D3D & 3DFX Issues

Version 3.4 worked great! 😀 It seems that it's time to forget about D3D and use OpenGL renderer with this Ti 4600. Many thanks for all your help

I've tried with 3DCC without any luck 🙁 Using utglr37 and choosing OpenGL render performs very poorly on my system, way worse than using D3D.
UT99 D3D & 3DFX Issues
Posted on 2015-10-12, 16:34
I am having a bad time setting up UT99 on my W98 P3 machine. Its got a Voodoo2 SLI and a Geforce 4600 Ti. Would really like to be able to select which video device I want while starting the game. Running UT in safe mode lets me choose between: 3dfx Glide Direct3D Support Software There are no …
Re: Intel Pro 1000 Issues
Posted on 2015-09-15, 17:07
This card has a BIOS PXE boot option. It will display some messages on boot and you can access its own BIOS through a key combination but that's just for adjusting boot priority options. Don't know how this can affect memory management. How could I check if is configured as HBA? Already set up a …
Intel Pro 1000 Issues
Posted on 2015-09-13, 07:45
I am having some problems with Intel Pro 1000 NIC. Windows 98 detects it correctly and works fine using Pro1000 drivers. My needs are just Windows / Samba file sharing, so don't really need to set up a gateway or let it connect to the internet (actually, WAN traffic for this machine is disabled on …
Re: AWE64 + GUS PNP?
Posted on 2015-09-12, 12:47
Many thanks for all your help! FM Music was playing without problems with this error, but my mixer settings were incorrect so I thought it didn't work. I was able to fix CTCM error using Maraakate's linked tool: PNPMAP /f GRAVNOCD.ROM did the trick :) It seems that GUS CD interface was conflicting …
AWE64 + GUS PNP?
Posted on 2015-09-06, 15:23
Recently I built a Win98 / DOS machine, based on Asus P3B-F (dual ISA) and a PIII. The idea was to run many Win98 and DOS games on it, so for a good compatibility I put the AWE64 and the GUS PNP together. Followed Phil's guide to DOS mode, which gave me AWE64 detected correctly after installing his …

Many thanks for the feedback 😉 calvin, D2Patch_113d.exe did it! Now I can run the CD game on D3D or Glide APIs. Can't see any performance issues with any of them so I will just stick with Glide. Cheers!
Diablo2 on Win98
Posted on 2015-08-29, 07:19
Hi all! Please excuse me if this post doesn't fit here, couldn't find a better subforum to submit it. I want to try Diablo 2 on my P3 computer with W98 since I didn't play it before, so I bought a digital copy from Blizzard. The installer doesn't seem to work on W98 (it quits with an error message). …
Re: W3.X Bad Performance with S3 Graphics Card

The S3 Virge I am testing looks like this: http://www.vgamuseum.info/images/zaatharen/s3/virgeDX4MB_fhq.jpg Should the IRQ jumpers be the ones near the connector? Noticed that the problem may be while changing between mouse cursors. The mouse cursor disappears for a moment when changing them (eg: …

Finally got the PS/2 mouse header working on this machine. It performs a little better than serial mouse but its still not right. Could someone please share their experience with S3 cards running on W3.X? Many thanks 😀
Re: W3.X Bad Performance with S3 Graphics Card

I don't have the PS/2 mouse header yet, so I can't try it with any other mice than the MS serial mouse.
W3.X Bad Performance with S3 Graphics Card

Hi to everyone! I am having some issues on my 5x86 with S3 cards on Windows 3.11. The mouse cursor is sluggish after installing the drivers. Tried both S3 Virge and S3 Trio64V+ (which are similar to eachother) with same problems, no matter of the resolution. Using generic VGA driver this doesn't …

Many thanks for all your help. I really appreciate it 😀 Phil: as a subscriber I saw you uploaded a video regarding DOS 7. I will try to install it as you did and post back how was it. Edit: downloaded patched CTCM thanks to Jolaes76. Works great! 😀
Re: DOS 7.1 AWE32
Posted on 2014-12-25, 10:23
Hmm that is very unusual to say the least. Thats right Phil. It's unusual, but it has some logic since I am using some sort of Windows-DOS and the driver thinks I am running it inside a DOS prompt window on Windows. As Jolaes76 stated, using the /T parameter it tricks the driver, but I would like …

Deleted all CTPNP.CFG files I found (2 of them), rebooted and ran CTCU. No luck with this, it still complains about Windows and can't get to the menu to select a profile. On the drive there is no Windows installed, even 3.1. Just DOS 7.1 and the SB16 drivers you pointed out. Running CTCM /T as …

Thanks for your replies :) I know that this DOS is not 100% official. Wasn't released as is by MS, but extracted from WIN98. Anyways many people recommend to use it, and I found it useful. Things like FAT32 support and tab autocomplete are very nice to have. Didn't extract DOS by myself but used the …

I've tried to install the Creative site drivers for this card (sbbasic.exe, ctcmbbs.exe), on a clean DOS 7.1 install, and the same error happens :( Here are some pictures of the boot process: http://www.subeimagenes.com/thumb/2014-12-23-20-44-36-1184893.jpg http://www.subeimagenes.com/thumb/2014-12- …
