I posted this on r/RetroBattleStations but I figured y’all would appreciate it as well. https://i.imgur.com/ioTLR8K.jpg https://i.imgur.com/hTkyAUL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/MBzXuHA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/SgpQwJ2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/IPobDVj.jpg https://i.imgur.com/x6pdoxu.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ …

There's a post here about programming one using an Arduino as the ISP, but it should be mostly similar to the usbisp just with a different programmer when it comes to avrdude. You'll still need a crystal/oscillator though to run the chip. Thanks for the link! I grabbed an Arduino and managed to get …

For programming it, I just used a TL866 programmer. To program it with a in circuit programmer like the usbisp you're going to need to power it, as well as give it a crystal oscillator and capacitors for that. There's a post here about programming one using an Arduino as the ISP, but it should be …

Anyone have any tips on programming the 89s51? I've got everything soldered together and ready to go, but I've hit a roadblock trying to get the firmware on this thing. I ordered a Chinese usbasp from eBay, and I've spent the past two nights banging my head against multiple programs trying to flash …

I think I found a working solution for fleedar's version of Monkey1 EGA. Here is the patch script that will fix the issue in the executable: %exefile monkey.exe 116209 #avoid the divide error (this may cause timing issues with AdLib music): %patch $125F7 $B1 $03 # mov cl, 3 $D3 $E8 # shr ax, cl $90 …

Try MoSlo or any other slow-down utility: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/SlowdownUtilities.html MoSlo worked for me most of the time. No luck here :( What about disabling stuff through the BIOS.. such as L1 and L2 cache? You should also be able to drop the multiplier of the CPU as well as the …

From what I’ve read here, I may be out of luck with this, but I’m trying to play Monkey Island 1 on an old system, and I’m getting the infamous “integer divide by zero” error when launching. The system is a Pentium 166 with a Sound Blaster 16, and I’m specifically trying to play the 16 color version …

Thanks everyone! I set the correct port in autoexec.bat and now it works. Had a feeling I was missing something simple.

Probably a dumb question, but I’ve got a Sound Blaster 16 (CT2230), and I recently purchased a DreamBlaster X2. The DreamBlaster is plugged into the Wave Blaster header, but for the life of me I can’t figure out how to get any audio out of it. All midi music sounds identical, I can’t find any …

Have you actually dismantled it completely? You may find something obviously wrong inside. Maybe some hair stuck in way of the sensors, stuck in the "spokes" of the wheels etc. I did indeed dismantle it completely and clean it. This issue got more complicated, however. I purchased a new-in-box …

Thanks. The mouse was thoroughly cleaned before use, so I guess something strange is going on with it.

I recently picked up an original Microsoft Intellimouse 1.1A (serial version). https://i.imgur.com/pL8LoHh.jpg I remember using this mouse as a kid and loving it, but I’m having an issue with this one that makes it unusable. The polling rate seems to be a fraction of every other serial mouse I …
