I see the seller still has stock 07/2021: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284366749455?hash=item4235943f0f:g:RAQAAOSwsXFZNFY- Yep, that's the same seller I bought my YMF744 from . While the card was pristine, I never could get DDMA or DSDMA to work with my motherboard. I guess you need a SB-Link header …

Hanging-note bug not present in VT686B?

Posted on 2021-07-06, 18:43

I have a MSI MS-6368 S370 motherboard which provides SBPro 2.0 capability using the VIA VT686B Southbridge. I've connected my SC-7 to the motherboard's gameport and have been playing a lot of DOOM, and I have yet to hear the infamous "hanging-note" bug. Does this mean that the integrated chipset …

Not an expert, but did you try it with a different power supply? I had a motherboard that would not post any code till I changed the power supply, even though the power supply worked perfectly fine with a different motherboard. The only clue was that the "permanent reset" LED was lit on the post …

Greetings, My NOS KDS XF-9i is displaying pincushion distortion and horizontal OSD controls aren't affecting the screen, though the picture is relatively square at low resolutions (allowing use of safe mode.) While trying to find a technician or perhaps attempt to recap the thing myself, I need to …

Best DOS Games

I did not see a similar topic posted with all the best DOS games lists in one place, so I decided to create one. I hope this is the right forum, if not please move it to the right place. 1. CGW - 150 Best Games of All Time ( Issue 148 - Nov 1998 ) Sid Meier's Civilization Microprose 1993 Ultima IV …

I ran Crysis back then on this 7950GT and I got around 30 fps at medium settings. All I can say is, at least …

Good idea, here are the games that I haven't been able to play properly since I had upgraded from Win2K: * Thief Gold * Splinter Cell * NFS: Porsche Unleashed * F1 2001 * FIFA 2002 Would throwing Win2K on a C2D PC let me play them better? Or are they incompatible with modern hardware and I need …

Win2K Game Compatibility List

Posted on 2021-05-20, 13:38

For a future build, I was thinking of doing a retro Windows gaming PC that runs games from 1997 to 2007, but I hate Windows '98 with a passion. The frequent BSODs are what drove me to Linux all those years back, and the first Windows to not annoy me as much was Windows 2000. I ran it for several …
