It was really cool back in the 90s how you swapped games on discs at school, went home loaded the games and had to wait for the next day to share experiences, high scores etc Also bbs were really cool, sitting there watching your 2mb file take 10 minutes to download with the build-up of anticipation …
Re: How much time do you have to wait to open a PSU without any risk ?
Posted on 2022-04-26, 05:21
as a kid I opened up a psu, maybe like 5-10 minutes after turning it off. Put the screw driver somewhere between the heatsinks and felt like got hit by Mike Tyson. Now I always check with a multimeter the voltage on the big caps and heatsinks. Even if its been off for a few hours that kind of memory …
Re: Is there any way to adjust pc speaker output when pc speaker output through sound card
Posted on 2022-04-25, 01:38
I got the config file saving, I got it to work somewhat unfortunately I think pc speaker output is not as sensetive and accurate as adlib/sblaster. So there is still a bit of a gap where pc speaker is louder then sound blaster music but slightly better. Adjusting pc speaker 1 more bar down will …

thanks, i downloaded the vibra 16 dos drivers. Found the mixer you showed under mixerset.exe however the settings are not saving. I will investigate it more soon when I get some more precious time 😀
Is there any way to adjust pc speaker output when pc speaker output through sound card
Posted on 2022-04-23, 11:43
I have my pc speaker hooked up through my sound blaster (vibra 16 isa). My vibra 16 has input pins for pc speaker, so instead having the pc speaker plugged to the pins on the motherboard I have a cable which goes from motherboard pc speaker output to sound card pc speaker output. This results with …
Re: keep getting checksum error when doing rtc coin mod onds1287

I just tried the mod with another ds12887a I found, so I guess 1287 is not compatible with this board

I now started getting the same issue on my second motherboard. I was thinking about the rom initialisation so took out the sound card and it started booting. Could it be the sound card or it is luck? It is a isa sb16

I have a biostar 486 8433uud which has a ds12887a+ I changed it years ago can't remember what it had originally, regardless it works and has been working fine. I found some old ds1287 so decided to make a few coin battery mods. I tried on 2 of them and both ds1287 give me the checksum error when …

I see, thanx for the great explanation. I guess back to start then I'll try to figure out what else could be locking it up while loading

Good tip there, unfortunately I did that; 1 loaded optimum settings, set auto config on so no aggressive wait states 2 disabled internal external cache 3 actually moved the tag cache chip + all my cache to my backup board as it didn't have cache. My backup board is now in the system and working, so …
Re: Voodoo 2 TMUs "disappear" but 3dfx demos work fine
Posted on 2022-04-18, 11:39
I had the bogus tmu error on voodoo 1 where the fbi was faulty. After transplanting a fbi chip from a donor card it works. It is a funny error shows tmu as faulty and fbi as working but I think the fbi has to initiate the tmu, if it fails then the tmu gets a bogus error

I remember somebody saying when I was repairing a voodoo if you solder a second switch chip on top of the current switch chip it helps to clear the pass through distortions
Voodoo 1 showing 0mb tmu memory
Posted on 2022-01-02, 02:06
I am repairing a voodoo1 that has been treated pretty badly by somebody in the past. The tmu had bent pins and in a bad state. After repairing all the pins and checking multiple times mojo shows 0mb tmu memory and 2mb fbi. Games run but with artifacts and missing textures. So either the ram on the …
Re: What can I replace these filters with on a voodoo1
Posted on 2021-12-26, 03:37
I actually read a thread here on vogons where a guy had the same issue with a voodoo2 but his card had missing L1 and L2 filters. It did get me thinking and check mine, I can't remember now if I checked their resistance or just visually inspected them but they passed. So I would of never found the …
