I solved it. It was the Orpheus Gameport (which works on everything else I've tried...) I put in an Aureal Vortex and it is fine.

Here goes: Running a PII System Voodoo 2 SLI Orpheus II sound card, WIN98 After spending hours getting this absolute nightmare to work (glide with voodoo2 sli, and sound which i can only get working in DOS mode with Orphinit), I have one more piece of the puzzle before I can fully enjoy this game …

I don't see a max output on the sticker. I see resellers online listing it as "90w" but that is the +5V +3.3V. The model # starts with 150..is it safe to assume 150w?

your machine is very fast for the game, you should have already noticed it running way too fast ingame. the only chance is to run it in 640x480, which you need the patch for. patch from 1.0 to 1.4a first, then to 1.5, due to the 1.0->1.5 patch being bugged. the patch readme will say what argument …

Descent freezes every time I try to load a saved game. It will start a new game OK. The game will also freeze randomly if I bring up the F1 menu (not every time) PII 350mhz Intel 440BX using a regular IDE hard disk 128MB RAM Win98 (running Descent in DOS Mode) Installed from Official Descent CD, so …

there is a difference between CSFM and Yamaha OPL3 it ofcourse depends on the music playing , for me the easiest test to determine which OPL variant is in use is the map screen in DynaBlaster volumes-wise it all depends on software, if it programs it's own mixer values or respects whatever was set, …

Just installed my Orpheus ii black. Was wondering, for those with the card, do you notice a big difference between Opl and CrystalFM? I've tested a few games, it seems like Opl is more..crisp with each "instrument" coming through more clearly. But I also notice the volume is a little louder (this is …

I'm currently looking at upgrades for my CT4170 which is currently paired with a Soundcanvas SC-55 mkii. Running Windows 98, and playing mostly mid-90s games (in DOS mode where I can always). If the game has Soundcanvas/General Midi music, of course I'll choose this option. Will I notice a …

Is that 486 a Cyrix CPU? I seem to vaguely recall something about bugs in Win3 kernel init (when it tries to recalibrate loop counts for delays) - this had to do with much faster CPUS but there was also something Cyrix-related there due to timing differences in mul/div execution. Try different CPU …

I'd try reducing the amount of physical RAM to below 16MiB. Preferably 8MiB for testing. See if that fixes the problem or maybe changes the wait time. Did you install any networking protocols and do you have any network cards installed? I pulled out the 16MB stick and left the 4MB in. I deleted Win …

Are you trying to use 32-bit disk access with an HDD and cd-rom sharing one IDE cable? I'm not sure how to change the 32-bit disk access setting. It should be in the control panel with the Enchanced 386 stuff right? I don't see it. Regardless, the floppy and CD are on one IDE cable into the Trident …

Hello, Having huge issues with Windows 3.1 I did a fresh install of DOS 6.22 on the following rig -486 DX2/80 CPU (40 MHz bus) -UM4980 VLB motherboard, 256k cache -20 Mb RAM (1x16Mb, 1x4Mb 72 pin SIMMS) -VLB video (Trident 94xx series, IIRC) 1 Mb RAM, integrated I/O -CT 4170 soundblaster card - …

I've tried my IBM G54 from 1997 and my Viewsonic G225f. Same thing happens. The funny this is, LGR JUST released a video a couple of days ago showing Jazz Jackrabbit footage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQfyQqo1644&t=585s THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENS TO HIM

Running pure DOS 6.22 on the following rig 486 DX2/80 CPU (40 MHz bus) -UM4980 VLB motherboard, 256k cache -16 Mb RAM (1x16Mb, 72 pin SIMMS) -VLB video (Trident TGUI9440) 1 Mb RAM, integrated I/O So Jazz Jackrabbit and a few PinBall Games (Epic Pinball, Pinball Fantasies) have that weird switch …

Understood. Thanks Let's say I wanted to use a Voodoo3 instead. No pass through here. Would a VGA switch box work? (TNT in - Voodoo in --> Active VGA out) If I wanted complete control of course yeah I could disable whatever card I don't want and physically connect whatever card I want at any given …

Let's say hypothetically I wanted a rig that had a Riva TNT2 32MB in the AGP slot and a Voodoo2 in a PCI slot. (or 2 Voodoo 2 in SLI) (PIII system) I've seen Phil do this in one of his videos, I've also seen similar setups in some old premium Hypersonic PC builds from back in the day . Why would …
