@Falcosoft I'll first need to install Borland Pascal to test your code Since I do not have Borland C++ I have tried your code with Turbo C 2.01. With some minor modifications I could compile it and in compact/large/huge memory models it gave me correct results. So it seems in order VESA functions …

Fastest K6-III+ 550 MHz is equivalent of Pentium II 300-350 MHz in most of games. Performance of K6-2+ 450 MHz @75 MHz FSB with good motherboard should be maybe around Pentium II 233 :) Only if by "most games" you mean (Gl)Quake: Nope, I mean most games. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t= …

@Falcosoft Very nice small utility :) Question: Is it possible to also show if unreal mode is active? For example, there are games that do not work in v86 mode, only in real mode. For these, I like the Micronics MICEMM memory manager, as it is an EMM386 equivalent that can work in unreal mode (eg …

This can be anything from the earliest PC's to anything 32 bit I guess (arguably only semi-vintage but who cares about terminology). What languages do you use? Do you prefer to run these packages on older hardware (that is when you actually have the option of older or newer hardware)? Lately I'm …
