I also initially had similar issues due to my Atmel DSP acting up but reflashing it did the trick for me..

Re: VGA Capture Thread
Posted on Yesterday, 11:44
I realize this is the 'VGA Capture' thread but I guess this is as good a place to ask as any. My current open bench DOS system has an FX5200 AGP on it and I am using the DVI-Out. FWIW, it seems to work quite well in every resolution/game I throw at it, so I was thinking about capturing directly …

Re: Is the Pentium 4 underrated for retro computing?
Posted on Yesterday, 10:41
If we're pedantic about it, Intel Win9x compatibility mostly can be grouped into 4 classes of south bridges: Class 1: PIIX family (Pentium 3 era with native ISA) Class 2: ICH5 (last chipset with AGP and full support for various PCI DOS sound solutions) Class 3: ICH7 (last south bridge with native …

IIRC the 100Plus+ lost the High DMA support? So that makes it SB Pro compatible only? It's still SB16 compatible, but will have issues with Build engine games, which can be bypassed by manually editing the configuration files. Same thing as with Creative's Vibra XV cards, which also don't have High …

I don't 'find' or get 'donated' hardware much anymore, but a friend who was getting out of collecting retro stuff actually dumped a load of cards on me. One of which is kind of interesting: ATI Mach64 VT2 Philips M230.jpg Anyone know what this card is? It looks like ATi's All In Wonder cards BUT …

All these pages of talk and nobody seems to have made a summary table.. I should get to it sometime I suppose. Anyway, I just wanted to confirm that Avance Logic ALS100/100Plus+ cards, like the ALS007, are SB16 compatible? I have an ALS100 (non-plus) and it is SB16 compatible, including proper High …

CS4624 also. CS4624 is a fairly mediocre chip. It gets the job (AEX 1.0 / EAX 2.0) done for me. I kind of use CS4624 and CS4630 cards interchangably. Particularly with my Terratec DMX Xfire 1024 and Terratec Santa Cruz there doesn't seem to be a tangible benefit to using either over the other. I'd …

AthlonXP was released in 2001 so a P4 was not the best PC you could buy in 2001.. As for 2000, the Thunderbird 1.2GHz was better than Williamette 1.5GHz.

Linus did a Pentium 4 video. It's over, bros. Not really. He did a 'let's dig up what a magazine said was the best system 23 years ago and build it' build, not an ultimate retro anything. And it looks like he landed at a 1.8GHz Willamette socket 423 with 512 megs of RDRAM. Odd place to land if you …
