Shattering glass in Unreal
Posted on 2025-05-05, 22:40
Hello I recently stumbled upon an interesting issue with Unreal. A viewer of my YT channel noticed that in one capture of Unreal there should be a shattering glass, but there was not. So I started the Vortex Rikers level and saved in front of the "Med Station - break glass" window (shortly after the …
Re: Need help to improve the support of 486/586/686 class CPUs in CPU-Z

My suspicion is that this happens when there is a CPU that does not have a CPU-ID instruction.

I have an issue with CPU-Z Vintage that I am unable to the validate the results and it returns this error message: System is NexGen Nx586-P90 on Win95 OSR2, CPU-Z Vintage 1.04.

It is not down. Just recent browsers do not support ftp anymore. So just use a ftp client like Total Commander, Filezilla etc.

Someone with Nickname WhiteMagicRaven on youtube asked me to post the files from the 2TheRRedline competition here. You can find it at my ftp at ftp://retronn.de/driver/Rendition/2RRedline/ You might as well have a look at the other files, in case you still miss something.

Thank you for the photos, I will forward them to the community and we will see what we can make of it. In case you find the manual of it, feel free to give me a note. I would also be interested to hear if you get the sequencer software working with the cartridge.

Re: Help with instructions to use Ultramid with GUS PNP clone
Posted on 2023-06-22, 18:35
That was probably wrong. I think MegaEM always defaults to the 1 MB bank. However, if you want to have a RAM loaded sound bank as GM device you can run the DOS game from within a Win9x DOS box.

UltraMID is not a GM emulator that captures port 330h, but it is a driver that provides an application interface (API) to games that use the audio interface library (AIL). Thus, after loading UltraMID the new API is present. The basic idea of UltraMID is to split the GUS hardware resources for Music …
Re: DScaler 4.2.3a
Posted on 2022-12-29, 13:56
This is not the issue here. DScaler supports Overlay for historical reasons and Direct3D9 surfaces. It just defaults to overlay. When set to DirectX it actually means that it uses the Direct3D9 surface and it should work fine. With the complete system freeze I suppose it is some issue with the …

Just out of curiosity, are there maybe PCI diagnostic cards that tell the bus frequency as well?

Re: VGA Capture Thread
Posted on 2022-07-13, 02:10
If we're only talking graphics vs text mode, how about training a neural net to detect whether it's looking at a DOS prompt? I'm thinking text mode is typically starkly contrasted with graphics, and the AI check can probably run in real time. Ok. Though, there is not "the text mode". You can train …
Re: VGA Capture Thread
Posted on 2022-07-12, 23:01
In principle yes, but there are a few issues to solve: Imagine you have a nearly empty DOS text screen with just a prompt, or even just black. Then the algorithm has not much data to determine the correct number of horizontal samples. If you run the analysis algorithm permanently you could change …
Re: VGA Capture Thread
Posted on 2022-07-12, 20:21
We had this discussion here as well, about e.g. distinguishing between 640x400 and 720x400. Also that basically every TFT shows 640x400 as 720x400 double sampling every ninth pixel. At the moment I'd say the best approach is, if you know which one it actually is to allow only one of it for the 400 …
Re: VGA Capture Thread

that's just par for the course with VGA capture, every resolution on every system needs it's own little adjustments... the really neat thing with using VCS for example is that you can set trigger modes to automatically select presets so it switches to the correct settings on any given resolution... …

Ok, works 😀 There is one difference though. In the first plot you see 7 half periods. If you tune the PLL offset to see exactly one half period as in my screenshot the accuracy gets much better. (Sorry there is not automatism here)
