Glad I am inspiring you on trying to find one! I actually have a source of quite a bit of Brand New Old Stock peripherals that has probably well over 50 of these brand new. I plan on going back and buying at least a couple more just to hang on to for spares. 20200911_174821.jpg 20200904_112545_HDR. …

Hello, I am trying to run Midtown Madness on my Win 98SE system (Geforce FX 5600 256 MB with 45.23 drivers installed). The initial splash screen loads after which the game crashes with a Debug assertion failed error. (it runs fine on my XP though). Debug Assertion Failed! Program:F\Midtown Madness …

On ICH-enabled Intel chipsets (i810 and up), the situation is worse, but you can get there by using a couple of tricks :) Here's my attempt on covering the ISA SBPro compatibility with this card as a single sound source on a Pentium III DOS gaming rig: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t= …

Hello aha2940! I had taken the VXD drivers from Philscomputerlab site. Tried moving the pci card to a different slot, but same issue. The card works fine with WDM drivers. However, I am trying to install the VXd drivers specifically for dos games music/sfx support. It looks like the issue is caused …

Hello, I am trying to install VXD drivers for an ESS 1938S solo-1 card on my win 98 SE PC (P4 2.4 Ghz, 845GEBV2 mobo, 512 MB RAM). When the system is about to install the DOS emulation driver, I get a blue screen which states : A Fatal Exception 0E has occured at 0028:C0031B0A. The current …

Hello gaffa2002. Tried running the game in pure MS DOS. However, only the FM works and no sound effects despite setting the IRQ similar to Win 98 dos. I remember reading another Vogons post where a member had similar freezing issue with an ESS Solo-1 card. I tried running the game with an ESS Solo-1 …

I tried changing the IRQ to 5 as well as to auto detect for versions 1 and 1.1 but in vain. Getting the same freezing issue.

Prince of Persia 2 can indeed be finicky and suffers from sound-related freezes. Which version do you have? You can determined based on the main executable size IR (290,415 bytes), 1.0 (292,865 bytes) or 1.1 (259,583 bytes)? Does the CM 8738 emulate an SBPro? Prince of Persia 2 has a setup program …

Hello, I have a retro pc setup with the following config : win 98/xp, P4 2.4 ghz, 845GEBV2, 160GB HDD, CMI 8738 pci sound. I have installed the VXD drivers for CM 8738 and with some fiddling, was able to get the music and sound effects for many DOS games working. List of games tested (within win 98) …

I do not understand exactly what motherboard are you using: the one with DDR support or the one with SDR support - this is important because with Pentium 4 memory bandwidth is of critical importance. As for the video card if you want something with enough performance in XP and very good in 98 I …

Both the Voodoo 4 and GeForce 3 are ridiculously overpriced on eBay and similar platforms. Performance-wise you wouldn't be happy with a Voodoo 4 anyway, and there is no official XP driver support. I'd recommend a GF 4 Ti 4200 which is readily available at a reasonable price point. My personal …

benjamin91609 wrote on 2020-11-22, 15:35: A geforce 3 or Voodoo 4 would be very nice Thanks benjamin91609. I was thinking of choosing a one which has decent compatibility with both XP and 98. Let me know how a GF3 or Voodoo 4 fares in this regard.

You have to make sure you get an AGP that supports 1.5v, yes? Avoid the cards that only have a front notch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port These were my favorite back in the day: https://tpucdn.com/gpu-specs/images/c/1816-front.small.jpg The Geforce 6600 was nice too Thanks …

GF6 isn't a bad choice however compatibility isn't as good as the GF 4 Ti or FX cards. This post gives you an idea of what games will/wont work. https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=73400 Thanks chinny22. I am now considering the FX 5600 AGP one (Aopen nVidia GeForce 5 FX 5600 256MB). Let me know …

Hello, I am building a retro gaming PC. My config is as follows: P4 2.4 Ghz, Intel 845GEBV motherboard, Cmedia 8738 sound card, 512 RAM & 160GB HDD with Windows 98/XP. Since the motherboard has an AGP slot, thinking of adding a graphics card. I have shortlisted the Geforce 6200 as it seems to be …
