clb , when SNOOP goes into 80x50 I cannot see first line(s) of the text from it. 1. Why not use this mode of operation: SNOOP.EXE > SNOOP.TXT. If you use printf() to stdout this should work. 2. Use a command line key to force set of 80x50 before log creation process otherways stay into 80x25. 3. …

A BIG test (snoop 2023-08-20) - 40! AGP and PCI cards. Have some issues there. 🙁 Can you reformat snoop output so it will definitely fit in 80x25 or make it work in 80x30, 80x50, 80x60 text mode(s)?
Re: Is there a win3x EGA driver that supports more than 640x350 resolution?
Posted on 2023-08-20, 09:22
Sorry for my previous post. Here is source code of it and compiled driver. I place no copyright here since it was made as a mix of code existed in DDK. It does not work as it should. The rest of asm code is from Windows 3.1 DDK. To compile it - put files in DDK\286\DISPLAY\4PLANE\SUPEREGA

1. Does actual HWiNFO detect CGA Plantronics and Olivetti/ATT 6300, IBM PGC, Secondary FDC controller, streamer devices on FDC port? 2. If VESA/DDC multidisplay in HWiNFO detection will be made, I recommend X-VESA utility by Marco Pistella which can detect two monitors on same videocard (f.e. …

"doesn't detect such multiple PCI adapters" ? You maybe don't understand me. In pp. 1. I mean when two or more monitors connected to ONE videocard. F.e. some Matrox/ATI/nVidia cards have two DVI or two VGA output ports or either VGA+DVI. This detection code is rather simple. I could provide any logs …

Current version of HWiNFO for DOS: 1. Doesn't detect secondary display. But it is possible (as I test with Geforce 2/3/4 cards with DVI+VGA ports). When you query DDC information from display you should do it like this, manipulating child_id: ax = 0x4F15 (VESA DDC API) bx = 0x00,0x01, ... etc (VESA …

Does FPU presence affect fastdoom performance? For example 80486SX vs 80486DX CPUs with same clock speed. How much?

ViTi95, did you plan to support VGA 640x480x2, EGA 640x350x16, EGA Monochrome 640x350x3 colors, AT&T/Olivetti 640x400x2, Mode-X (such as 320x240x256, 320x400x256) modes for FastDoom? And support for other IDTech1 games - Chex Quest, Hexen, Heretic, Strife?

Why on EGA/EGA Monochrome system in HWINFO for DOS font reprogramming is not used (for buttons, UI lines, windows)? For example Norton Utilities used this reprogramming with great success and better look-and-feel.
