Re: What's the best FM music you've heard?
Posted on 2020-09-27, 22:42
I always liked the catchy level music from Mutant Space Bats of Doom, not exactly the best but It's still quite firmly lodged in the old brain wrinkles. It's not like much else (Link)
Re: 8-bit guy gets ultra-rare NOS IBM (prototype?) from Computer Reset then proceeds to obliterate it
Posted on 2020-09-27, 22:27
As another victim of that video I hope that posting here will start the long road to recovery and we can all start to heal. But seriously who uses an angle grinder/ dremel to remove screws on a rare NOS workstation. I just don't understand why he doesn't put a project on hold and cover some thing …

RECOIL 1999 (Glide) Huh, I played through that entirely in Wine but in D3D mode not Glide. It's got its own "3dfx" shortcut which I thought was interesting as the game is very much early DirectX, with it running in a window with file menus etc. You got me wondering what the visual differences are …

My Whiskey brackets arrived today and I'm really happy with them, they look great! @Whiskey, you reminded me I had some Autosol lying around so I hit one of my brackets with the Dremel too and it finishes them off really nicely: https://i.imgur.com/guNE1P7h.jpg (right card is unpolished) Thanks …

To everyone who's payment has been received, your bracket parcel is on the way. Those who requested tracking check your PMs for the details. Thanks for helping this happen guys! They complete the card IMO. I've just given my bracket a once over with the polishing bit on the old dremel and it shines …
Re: What game are you playing now?
Posted on 2020-09-06, 22:53
Just recently finishing playing System Shock 2 from start to finish with a friend in co-op, a game I've played but never finished in the past. Really great game, totally wonky in places but the amount of environmental story telling and details they put in are astounding. Surprisingly the multiplayer …

Been going through the games on my dos machine and remembered some more good looking games. Abuse, Black Thorne, Alien Rampage, Stormlord, Pushover, The Chaos Engine and Albion.

All the brackets are packaged up just need to label them all. Sorry for not sending out the PMs with the details yet, it was a bank holiday weekend in the UK which meant extra chores for me so didn't have time to do it. Expect them soon! Filename 20200901_175726.jpg File size 936.04 KiB Views 677 …

Ok, I have the GUSar now soldered... I know this is the ArGUS thread, but since I won't be getting one, I figured I am going to get the GUSar. ;) What is the exact software that I need to run these clones? I never had a GUS PnP back in the day, only the original GUS... PNPMAP is mentioned above -- …

I figured as much. No hot ICs so thats a good sign at least. This was my first time doing SMD soldering which is most likely the culprit for the problem. I'll just have to re-flow everything and hope that fixes the problem. Will give the R11 change and IW dump a try as well. I've tried the card with …

Thanks for this, but I'm already using PNPMAP /f GRAVNOCD.ROM which is what is giving me the "InterWave card not found error." I have also tried to dump the IW rom as the guide suggested and I get the error "Can't get the InterWave base port - check ULTRASND environment varable" I've done the best …

Just booted up my K6 machine with the ARGUS in, no magic smoke so thats good! Sadly I'm getting the "InterWave card not found" error when I try to flash the card. I've tried disabling as much of the IO as I can to make sure as many IRQs are free and its all set to PNP in the bios. I'm a bit stuck …
