I'm toying with the idea of doing a computer build in an unconventional case and would like to mount an ISA soundcard roughly parallel to the motherboard (a PCB riser won't work because it won't be mounted in a perfect 90 degree angle above an ISA slot). I somehow just assumed since it's so easy to …

I've been putting more retro computers together lately and decided I needed a more era appropriate file server to load my drivers/software from. I have a modern Win Server 2016 machine with multiple guest VMs running so rather than building a dedicated retro server (which would have also been fun), …

I've been on the same i7-2600 for 8 years now and still trying to hold out for another year or so! I honestly can't even remember what I had before then. I want to say it was an Athlon XP 2400+. It's pretty amazing to think about how I upgraded computers every few years throughout the 2000's and …

Thanks for trying that. I did not know how to measure the load right from the pi so I'll look into how to do that. The 5.2V is what was coming right off of the supply. Like I said before, I'm getting this issue with the Pi2 and 3 and have tried two different power supplies (both had a longish cord, …

Could you please update via raspi-config and post your .asoundrc file? Let me know what you're testing with and I will try to duplicate the problem. Sure, thanks for your help with this! I updated, but I can't find the .asoundrc file. I looked all over, including the /home/pi/ folder. I have been …

Alrighty. What is your current audio output device? It's the onboard audio (headphone jack). I enabled it in the config.txt with the line: dtparam=audio=on Then I changed audio output from HDMI to headphone jack in raspi-config I was planning to test with the headphone jack audio before purchasing …

My multimeter is reading 5.2V from the power supply. I used htop and watched for 30 minutes and never saw the mt32emu-qt process go over 80% cpu utilization and didn't see any of the cores max out at any time. I also watched the current cpu frequency (with: watch -n 0.1 cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/ …

I've tried two different power supplies and am getting the same results. The second is one I just bought for the Pi3 that is 5V 2.5A. I'll try to monitor the CPU activity when the underruns occur.

I'm experimenting with gdjacobs prebuilt images. I've tested both on a RPi2 and Rpi3 and when sending MIDI from my retro PC to Munt via the UM-ONE, Munt throws an underrun message every minute or two: snd_pcm_writei failed: Broken pipe -> recovering... ALSA lib pcm.c:7843:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun …

Thank you for making these posts. I came here with the same problem and solved the freezing by using CTMOUSE v2.0a4!

NewRisingSun, I'm not sure what that means as I'm a noob when it comes to old hardware, but I'm very curious to hear more about the process. You are modifying a driver for the AWE64 that is to be used specifically for S&M? Also, I specifically tracked down an AWE64 because from what I read on vogons …

NewRisingSun, I'm using the talkie version CD that I've had since I was a kid. It's funny, I remember having issues getting it to run on my old Packard Bell in 1993 and now here I am in 2017 having different issues. I don't know how one could possibly go about making a patch for this, but if you are …

Thank you so much, kanecvr! I ordered some of the Sanyos from a USA based ebay seller!

Every single picture of every single revision of this board has them so i would place the caps if i were you....I don't know what they do but it would be a shame if the board fails because of them. Since it looks like they definitely used to be there, I tend to agree with you. Can someone who has …

Hey, I've been lurking the forums for a while but this is my first post. I was finally inspired by all the PhilsComputerLab videos to build a sweet SS7 machine similar to the first machine I ever built when I was a kid. I have acquired an Asus P5A (rev 1.04) motherboard, and so far it's working well …
