What is the best S3Trio64 driver to benefit from better/higher resolution and colors on Win98 (and now that I asked, for 3.x too) with Dosbox-X ? I've already made the .cfg tweaks to enable this, and tried a few drivers recently, and whenever I try to go above 1280x and more than 24M colors... the …

This night I also managed to screw up a dosbox-x Win98 machine. nice. Then I thought "oh I won't bother reinstalling everything again" and looked at an image of win98 for QEMU I had. "Well, it should work" so I copied it over to my dosbox-x install, converted from qcow2 to raw (thanks to qemu-img) …

Managed to get FIFA 99 running with full 3Dfx glory on latest DOSBox-X and high level emulation, thanks to a finally good OpenGlide compilation and a few dosbox configuration fixes. Gonna test Grand Prix 3 and later try to fix the reason why FIFA 98 RTWC is going to black screen on start. This is …

robertmo wrote on 2021-04-05, 13:07: actually it's a better idea than running native qemu as you can also use dgvoodoo2 this way which allows higher resolutions. No, it's not what I want because I will not run that Windows VM when I get a M1. I want definitive solutions, not temporary solutions.

I am not a fan of any emulator in particular. At the end of the day, I only care about what works best for me without much work. That said, here is the source code of my opinion, compile it and see it by yourself. Oh, wait, it requires some dependencies to compile. Good luck finding them for your …

Today I used some hours to do a cleanup and shrink some VMware machines sizes. I used 40GB for a XP machine that will never fill it up, so I reduced it to a 16.8GB. The sizes as they are now: - Ubuntu 20.04 remains unchanged, has a 25GB HDD, 50% of its storage used; This is a web server for work on …

That socket 370 pin soldering is amazing precision work, very nicely done! Scary stuff too, I have tried that before myself and ended up just ruining the pad.

Just enabled sound for MacOS 9.2.2 on my UTM iOS install, using usb-audio. No need for a qemu-screamer fork, it seems. More testing is needed to confirm this, but initial results are very encouraging. So far the only issue I had was the shutdown process, it hangs.
