Running a CT2800 Vibra16-S [DSP 4.13 I think] in W95 I experience a garbled 'electronic' noise/sound in Papryus's Indy-500 game which developes within a few seconds to a sustained high pitch sound that persists even after the game is closed - a reboot is needed to clear it. Is this the dreaded …

lets see.... Number Nine-2mb [1995/96?] Stealth 3D-2000 Pro-4mb Voodoo 1-4mb [what an eye opener!] Voodoo 2-12mb [nice card] STB Velocity Riva 128-32mb [did not like this card] quickly moved on to a... Voodoo 5500-64mb [great] upgraded mobo after year and a half but it didn't fit the AGP slot, so.. …

I finally built a W95/Rendition box just to play IndyCar Racing II in 3D! Since I have a Rendition 2 card I needed the Verite 2 DosFix to get it to run but you're fine on a V1000. ICR2/3D is really incredible btw - a real highlight of the early days of 3D. It predates the 3dfx patch version of …

Aw NJR I kinda like the little fella! VA6 served me well during the slot 1 days, oC C300A @ 450 and all. It still runs fine, and if the only fault I have come up with yet is that it balks at USB2, as many old W98 rigs do, I'm not ready to part with it yet. My other V5500 board is a BCM GT133KT/ …

Well, I kept at it for a couple of evenings - reloading a fresh W98se image and trying combination after combination of drivers and install sequences. Result = 0. Best I can seem to do with the 3 pce USB2 cards and the mass of drivers, IE6 core, and a coupe of Unofficial SPs, is to get everything …

My favorite use for a Voodoo5 has turned out to be pre-2k Glide/D3D games and adding on 4X FSAA. My experience as well. Late 90s/Win98 3D stuff with AA=4x runs very well, even on a fairly modest platform like the P3-800 I have going now. Retro appeal is further enhanced by the original 3dfx UI, and …

The updated AN430TX motherboard bios raises the bar to a P3-1000. So eBay and a $5 solution/gamble we will see. If the Tualatin is cool I will have regained lost performance from backing off the Athlon 1100... Really dig the 3dfx cards.

well, it's a pci USB2 card I need, not a mobo that supports it. and Awergh, I have tried nUSB33 in various permutations. After 3 or 4 cards I'mlooking for the "easy" solution haha, ie, someone with my board and the name of the usb card that works!

I've heard the NEC cards are more forgiving/compatible, which is why I thougt the IOGear/NEC would do the trick after wasting time on the others. I have an NEC USB3 card on my XP rig. But W9x... no. Even after the card seemed to install clean, BSOD in use. But it's okay, I was only hoping a Vogons …

@luckybob: your are right sir. I'm in for 3 cards to date, so it looks like I have 6 more to go. W95 I count myself lucky to have USB1.1 fully operational - a lite IE4 core install, USBsupp/USBupd/USBflash update did the trick...

well W98se.... 3 cards and various things have happened. - apparent complete installations; good DevMgr, but BSOD when actually using a plugged in external HD - no response to plugging in HD, no folder displayed in explorer. - complicated driver installation issues - not finding drivers, DevMgr …

I've had no luck enabling a pci USB2 card on my W98se build [based on an Abit AV6 mobo with USB1.1]. I've tried an IOgear with NEC drivers, a Rosewill and a Syba both with the VIA drivers. All three advertise W98se compatibility. The rig's onboard USB ports work fine and I use flash drives and …

The Voodoo 5500 reference driver control panel is more granular than that for the V2, which is fairly rudimentary. In my W95-Dos box I run a Diamond Stealth II Rendition-4mb along with a Voodoo 2-12mb, both on reference drivers. I haven't had to tweak the settings too much since the purpose of …

Follow up: both systems running W98se with the Unofficial OSR2 SP and USB2 updates

I'll jump in on this one as I've had fun building a few V5500 retro boxes in different configurations. 1] BCM GT133KT mobo, AMD Athlon 1100mhz [200fsb], 512mb PC133, SBlive!, Diamond V5500 [ref drivers] 2] Abit VA6 slot-1 mobo, P3-800 [on an Abit 'Slotkit'], 512mb PC133, Turtle Beach Montego [Aureal …

Thanks DF the link was to a discussion of setup issues that I had well in hand before the upgrade. I also want to rule out dual-core/hyperthreading as a cause and will disable on a by/app basis to see if it restores anything. lol yes i'm sticking with XP at least for the next 6-12mo. Right now I'm …

Hi, New member. I just upgraded from a 7800GT nVidia driver system that ran VDMsound games [Grand Prix 2], OpenGL [Glquake etc.], Build engine games [Redneck, WW-2 GI, Duke Nukem, Nam, Blood 1 etc.] just fine - to an ATI 5770 rig with the latest driver v10.12 None of the above categories of games …
