TBH i dont come to vogons to listen to retarded AAA fanbois who think "playing" a game means narcissistic pandering the latest DLC costumes to their friends while screaming rape threats against each other on Discord. Take original OP post as example. Crawl into a hole and die plz.

Why do you need two k6 systems? The p5a with a k6-3+ is basically perfect anyway.

Socket 370/Slot1 board that supports the Via C3. This gives you amazing flexibility, and you can also just use a pentium3. SuperSocket7 is too rare/expensive to bother about if you dont want 3 ISA slots. And be prepared to replace caps no matter what.

The only remaining problem being: will the PCI card actually play CD audio when it's not initialized under DOS? Under DOS a PCI sound card will not even been seen without initialization. Some ISA cards won't work without initialization. I don't think there is any special need for a driver to make …

RedBook audio, which is the kind of audio a CD plays in a Hifi CD drive, can be played in two ways (on a PC): - via a digital or analogue output on the CD drive itself, directly to a sound card, which can mix that sound in with other audio and output it via the normal output. - via digital audio …

Voodoo 1 is what you want for pure DOS. Yes it is. I actually find it hard to find a use for a Voodoo3....I have V1 in my DOS machine, V2SLI with a GF2Ti in my "win95" machine, and a V5-5500 in the "Win98" machine. I suppose if I was building a single stand-alone box with a good balance between …

Well then replace your current p3 mobo with a socket 370 board with 2 isa slots and that supports the Via C3. That way you have room for a HardMPU and a CPU that nicely scales down to DOS speeds. That's exactly what I do. Most games that support the mt32 were dos games after all.

Hello keropi (and others following this topic). I recently watched Phil's review of your cool lil' device, and it made me want to get one of your cards for my Win98 SE Retro Gaming PC , because I recently bought (and am still waiting for in the mail) a MT-32 and a SC-88 for retro DOS games (so that …

I use a simple switch box but for input switching not output switching. It is actually designed as a foot operated on-stage device with a push button on the top. Works perfectly under my desk. For output I have 4 midi devices daisy-chained, 3 Rolands in a stack and a PC at the end with a midi-usb …
