Cool! I would like to order one if possible. I tried to PM you but the message seems stuck in the Outbox.
Re: MS Sidewinder Gamepad in MS DOS

Try SDWRGMPD from http://www.bretjohnson.us/ DOS Driver for a Microsoft SideWinder digital GamePad. Microsoft doesn't make a DOS driver for any of their SideWinder products - they want to force you into using Win95. SDWRGMPD will let you use your GamePad in just plain old DOS. But most games have 4 …
Re: Savage4 vs Voodoo Banshee
Posted on Today, 08:30
2D core wise it's also close, with the Banshee being faster and the Savage4 being more compatible. the Savage4 failed to open any VESA mode after shutting down Win9x into DOS mode Probably the result of the crappy drivers as mentioned by ShovelKnight. You could try S3VBEFIX is you ever decide to …

The Savage4 LT is an 8MB card with slower clocks? I think the Banshee beats it. A Savage4 does give you some new features like true 32-bit rendering, S3 texture compression (S3TC) and the Metal API. Only the Metal API is unique to S3. I would consider the games you want to play to see if those …
Re: 70Hz in pure DOS at 1600x1200 (or other) over DVI on an old card (FX5900) with modern monitor is possible
Posted on Yesterday, 14:36
The angle I wanted to pursue was looking at tools like VGA240 (https://github.com/joncampbell123/doslib/blob/master/hw/vga/vga240.c) and performing something likewise in reverse. Knowing that some games like Chasm can force 70Hz, I went and investigated related hardware registers of the Savage4 to …

Posted on Yesterday, 14:07
I used a Matrox G200 with flat panel daughterboard before: it seems to stick to its supported VESA modes and sticks with 640x480 with borders when going lower. It did set a resolution of 656x414@70Hz when running the Triton Gravis UltraSound demo on my flatscreen TV, which isn't in the list of …

Re: Witchaven 2
Posted on Yesterday, 07:03
Great that it works! For me it makes a difference, but I notice it's still sensitive in certain area's. Where it first was slow and felt like having glue under my shoes with running and jumping, it now runs ok, but level complexity can cause some issues. And I think the artwork for Witchaven 2 is …

I have this game. Tons of issues due to clockspeed. Check https://ettingrinder.youfailit.net/wh-egwhaven.html for tips and the EGwhaven version. It's better but some clockspeed issues remain (turning around in simple levels at warp speed).

Did you finalize the discs? If not, that may cause trouble reading them on other devices.

Best solution is an active mixer. Otherwise a line level gain booster, but if you have to buy one, you might just as well buy an active mixer. I also have an Art SPLITMix4, the volume loss is indeed noticable.
Re: New sound card project: AWE64 Legacy

I have a bunch myself as well. The only ones I bought to have were the AWE64 Gold! cards. All the others just came in lots with other stuff. Really easy to end up with a bunch of CT4520 and some CT4500 cards without even trying. Somehow I've managed to not find any AWE64s(I do have an AWE32 CT3910, …

That's some testing you did there! In case of modifying the BIOS: does unscaled output get projected at 1600x1200 (centered with borders) because of the behaviour of the monitor when it encounters non-native resolutions? Or is it because of the EDID and the card selecting 1600x1200? It would be …

What happens if you add 640x400 @70Hz? That might be interesting to get unscaled output for DOS games.

That's some really nice work! Very interesting and valuable findings. Seeing your notes about S3/S3 Savage 4: I've noticed in Duke Nukem 3d and Blood that when running @320x200 and switching from Chained Mode to Screen Buffer mode in the config file I gain around 30 frames when approaching simple …

I don't know about any secret 2x multiplier setting, but you could drop the FSB to 50Mhz and get 150. Or try a software tool like H.Oda!'s SoftFSB.
