Retro to couch setup?
Posted on 2022-05-19, 23:06
Why? Who needs a desk and chair! Does anyone do a retro machine to a couch on large screen? Kind of like a console environment. list what you did to accomplish it serial extension cords, vga to hdmi adapters, wireless etc. Joysticks seem difficult to do on couch unless you use a gamepad type.

Update: I think I have the games running smoothly. I had to turn off Disc Audio in Quake II (cause there's no audio), and I tweaked Quake 1 and it seems to be running OK except the missing audio making the game stutter. How does this work? Everything I read relates to posts on Steam. Do I need to …

Posted on 2022-05-06, 22:54
Would a newer USB based gamepad controller work in an old 98 system with a 15 pin adapter using a generic gamepad driver? You would prob have to do some keymaping for course. adapters really open up new worlds.

I never changed CD drivers on any Windows for any drive. They just work. If not, they're fucked. NEC CDR-1901A CD-ROM is actually quite googleble - it's a CDR drive, so not really ancient. There are even IDE drives from 1994, those are ancient. Basically, get another one that looks good in the …
