I tried it on the other Gameport and it has the same problem. I don't know what to do now.

I don't use USB at all. It's disabled in the BIOS. My Mainboard has a Gameport and my Audigy 2 has a Gameport too. I'm using the Audigy one at the moment. It seems to be a problem with the force feedback effects. In some games those effects are tanking the fps to unplayable values. Other games I can …

I just tried another game, ReVolt, and it's exactly the same. I only get 20-30 fps and the game stutters like crazy. Shouldn't it run with at least 60 FPS on an Athlon XP 3000+ with GeForce 4200 Ti? Edit: It's the joystick. If I disconnect my SideWinder, I get 144 FPS (@144 Hz vsync) Why is the …

Why stick with DX7 in first place? DLLs are separated for each DX API version. Because some games I play have problems with a higher DX Version. Need for Speed 1 SE doesn't run at all with anything above DX7 and in Motoracer the palette textures don't work, etc. This sort of problem happens because …

Are those glide wrappers compatible with DX7? I didn't try dgvoodoo because I thought it needs DX9. I only have DX7 installed on my system. Why stick with DX7 in first place?

Software rendering just crashes immediately. Sound is set to lowest possible quality. Ok let's start by slowing the cpu with something like cpugrab, then try again software mode. I have an Athlon CPU with unlocked multiplier. 666 MHz is the slowest I can underclock it. Now it runs in software mode …

Hey guys, I'm trying to play G-Police on my windows 98 PC, but the game is unplayable because of extreme stuttering. It doesn't matter what resolution I choose, it's unplayable even at 640x480. What can I do to make it smooth? Specs: Clean Win98 SE Asus A7v600-X Athlon XP 3000+ 256 MB DDR 80 GB HDD …

IIRC, some troubles with Creative audio cards like Live! and Audigy on VIA chipsets could be solved with PCI latency patch from G.Breese: https://www.georgebreese.com/net/software/ This patch doesn't work and isn't really needed on newer Chipsets, like my KT600 Lastly, the WDM drivers for the …

Hey guys. I have a problem with my SBLive CT4620. I can play games just fine, but everytime I exit the game to the main menu or back to the desktop, the screen turns black, the sound starts looping and the whole system freezes. It doesn't freeze while playing, I can play for hours. It only freezes …
Re: Sound much too quiet with Sound Blaster Live 4620
Posted on 2022-12-18, 09:05
I had a really big testing marathon yesterday, to maybe find a solution. I tried all 6 of my PCI slots, nothing changed. I tried it on win95/98/98SE/ME, nothing changed. I tried different DirectX versions from DX6 to DX9, nothing changed. I tried 2 different driver CDs and the newer Audigy drivers, …
Sound much too quiet with Sound Blaster Live 4620
Posted on 2022-12-15, 23:57
Hello friends I have a problem with my new Sound Blaster Live 4620 sound card. I have pretty decent active stereo speakers connected and the Direct Sound audio in games is really quiet and sounds very thin like a cheap laptop speaker. If I turn up the bass slider in the mixer, the sound stays very …

Yeah, I'll keep it, it was only 20€. It has 29.000 operating hours and still looks and feels like a new one. We have Eizo ColorEdge monitors at work, but they're a little to much for retro gaming 😁

my EIZO 1933 allows scaling options in the OSD (1:1, aspect ratio, full screen). I just bought an Eizo S1933 because of your comment, and I can't find any scaling options in the OSD. Maybe I'm blind, but where do I find those settings? Edit: I can't find anything about scaling in the manual either.

This should already be possible if you use Retroarch with its DosBox core. Retroarch has a lot of border / background shaders.
Re: Mouse issue in Grand Touring
Posted on 2022-01-21, 09:52
I noticed that too. I suspect it isn't coded to even handle 125hz mice, Windows 9x is apparently limited to 40hz. I don't know any software workaround for mouse polling rate issues. What if I plug in a PS/2 mouse to my Windows 11 PC, I have a PS/2 port for a seemingly new chipset? Do PS/2s use 40hz …
