Re: ISA system now complete :)

As promised, first array of pics :) The switch box hasn't arrived yet and neither has the CM-32L. So, for switching from V2 to V1, I have to manually move the pass-through cable & monitor cable from the V1 to V2 or Vice Versa. When the switch box arrives, I'll put up pictures of it in action. …

Re: Has anyone tried mating V3 TV with DVI?

Be careful buying a P&D adapter though... I've wasted money on 2 so far. I have no idea if they would work or not, they don't fit :( The pins line up perfectly, but the shell doesn't fit around the port (too small.) Still debating if I should risk clipping part of the shell off or not. The second …

Re: ISA system now complete :)

When I saw the title of this thread I was expecting a 486 without local bus or PCI slots. Me too. Sorry, my "ISA System" is what I called it when I first started planning it. Mainly for the ISA sound card support I was looking for. Since I wanted to play my older DOS based games, and PCI sound …

Re: ISA system now complete :)

Gigabyte GA-6BXC Motherboard (Modified for high current AGP 2x cards) Curious as to how this mod was achieved/done ? And wonder if all 3.3v AGP mobos (BX) are 'wired' the same when it comes to this amp'age thingy? (me clueless whether Abit BH6 has this 'problem' vs Voodoo3, let alone Voodoo5) I …

Re: ISA system now complete :)

The NIC uses a Realtek RL8169 chipset. Haven't had any issues with it, so far. Even the DOS drivers worked just fine during original testing with my XP system. Now that I have a Windows 7 system, I imagine I'll really have to do some digging to get it up and running. As for the V1/V2/V3 setup, …

Re: Copy Protection & Image Formats

Not having much luck with PCE. I haven't tested the tools for conversion, not much point in making images of my Kryoflux dumps if I can't actually use them. DOSBox is so easy, I really wish there was some way to get the copy protected games I have running in it. I now have my available collection ( …

Re: Copy Protection & Image Formats

Well, I haven't been able to find any more protection methods. So, for now, I'm going to assume that the 10 I listed are all of them. I've also gotten my Kryofulx up and running :) It will produce IMG files of copy protected disks without complaint (Ultima 1-5,) but nothing I have will open them :( …

Re: What is the best C64 Emulator

Personally, I use the SPS modified VICE available HERE . So far, I haven't found a game that wouldn't play on it. I like it's looks, and versatility. Though I will be checking out a couple of the others mentioned here, that I have "admittedly" not heard of before :). The un-modified VICE doesn't …

Re: Voodoo 2 DOS Glide compatibility matrix

I should note, that some of the ones on FalconFly I didn't test because they were identical (the OVL file that is,) to other versions. For example, the V3.03.00 OVL file is identical to the V3.03.00b OVL file. The other files may not be identical, but they aren't used in a DOS environment, so I …

Re: Voodoo 2 DOS Glide compatibility matrix

Gamecollector: Sorry it took so long. I've tested all the OVL's I can extract from those available from FalconFly Central . Those are: 1. Creative 3D Blaster V2.16rc1 (15 Feb 1998) 2. 3DFX Voodoo2 RC2 (13 Mar 1998) 3. 3DFX Voodoo2 V1.02.50 (06 Apr 1998) 4. 3DFX Voodoo2 V1.02.51 (23 Apr 1998) 5. 3DFX …

Re: Voodoo 2 DOS Glide compatibility matrix

You have missed the main point - there are troubles with fast CPU/FSB/something. The main reason of my posts - I need someone to test Voodoo2 with same/faster CPUs. To confirm/unconfirm this trouble. I had the V2's working with Tomb Raider's static version (not the Rush,) on 800 Mhz CPU 100 Mhz FSB …

Re: Voodoo 2 DOS Glide compatibility matrix

Why spend so much time on getting a game that crashes on the second level working? But on the Voodoo 3, it doesn't crash on the second level. At least it hasn't for me. Also, if push comes to shove, I'll put my Voodoo 1 back in the system. I just don't want to use a switch box (Voodoo 1's pass- …
