Apologies for necro-posting on this one, but just in case it's useful for others - this being the first thread that showed up for me and a solution to my problem after a few days thought. I wanted to run original Command & Conquer on my 486 but was having some problems. During install from my …

ZDoom_LE_2.8.3a working well on my recently upgraded Pentium3 933mhz with MX440. Completely new to source ports apart from FastDoom but this gives me lots of advantages for this faster vintage PC. Also able to open One Humanity and Sigil WADs, also Brutal Doom mod v21 working fine. Getting …

Thanks very much for taking a look. I don't know if the originals were MFM or RLL hard drives but they were pretty old! I like the ease of blasting away an install from CF image although I feel a bit guilty about the old hardware, so I have tried to make a habit to spin up the original hard drives …

I posted this over at vcfed, but in case it is of interest also posting it to my favourite internet community. Here is a video I have made documenting the upgrade of a 1987 Amstrad PC1640. I have three of these now and they are a real pleasure to use. This one is for my 'office' (man cave) and is …

I can't remember what I was originally looking for but awesome thread, pleased I found it. I didn't get as far as page 437 in the manual to discover you could switch the display settings on the fly. Allowed me to get Round 42 nicely running on my PC1640, with a batch file to temporarily adjust …

Thanks Max, I think I might have given a different mouse driver a try, shifting from CTmouse to MS mouse 9 and that other one PMouse. I might give it another go though! Thanks again, Will

Hi, I noticed an issue when trying to get The Incredible Machine working on a 486, whereby the mouse is not working in the game under my default setup with a CT2290 Sound Blaster 16. It launches ok, and you can see the mouse pointer but cannot move it, also it seems that the keyboard is also no …

Thought other members might enjoy this blast from the past (unless everyone already uses it?) - Shamen screensaver featuring artwork by William Latham https://youtu.be/UoKovYPCNnk My dad picked it up off some magazine cd I think and the zip is still available online. At one point we got a virus and …

Just to add a bit of info to this in case it's useful. I tried Alcohol 120 (v1.9.5.3105 trial) on my new Windows98SE build and it offered what I needed so was about to dip my hand in my pocket to buy a license on their site, only to discover that I had already registered and bought a lifetime …

Thank you for this. I was worried about it screwing up my system based upon what @atom1kk found, but for me happily Letter Assigner did not cause issues and allowed me to move my other drive letters around before reserving a space for the CDROM. I cannot ever remember worrying about this stuff when …

Hi, I'm in process of putting together some retro gaming PCs. One of these a Gateway 2000 G6-300 PII 300MHz (Intel al440LX), which I had access to as a kid and have designs for being a souped up Win98SE gaming machine. Originally had 8GB spinning hard drive so looking to update this. As a beginner …
