Thank you here are my results: - jemmex with sbemu => lockup with colorfull textcharacters all over the screen - qemm386 with sbemu => soundoutput "grr/grr/grr/grr" sorry, I think that must be related to the alladin-chipset and PCI soundcards not working in dos on it. I will force the IRQ settings …

Hi Phil, so what does WC really do? Let's say we have a K6-2/350 CXT and Win95 installed. I can activate WC on autoexec.bat before loading windows and it's also possible to activate WC within windows? If I activate WC via autoexec.bat I can see that throughput gains from 100 to 300, but that is a " …

This 233MMX can play MPEG1 just fine, no wonder because of the rainbow-runner, but 233MMZ is too slow for amithlon. The FSC-Scovery-212 with K6-2/350 and PCI mystique is much faster (CPU wise) so amithlon runs at (barely) accepatable speed.

Regarding that 26?pin port... does anyone have a link to the pinout ? I recently came across a siemens D1025 which had a rainbow runner card rattling in the case, and another PCI card nearby with a tuner and a 26 pin D-connector attached via an IDC connector. Luckily on top of this all was a 26 pin …

I can't upgrade the CPU beside some clocking, I can't change the gfx-card (PCI MGA Mystique 4MB). What I can do is upgrading that mystique with rainbow-runner, question is, does it improve things? currently power-dvd 1.2 runs good on win95b for video-cd. I have to do some more testing, especially …

Does a K6-2/350CXT need the "RainbowRunner" card to play MPEG Video better with MGA Mystique 220 4MB ? The rainbowrunner addon card does accelerate mpeg1 but not mpeg2 (DVD) so how important is such a card if the main CPU is about 350Mhz and above.

There was a time I used a 1084 on my euro-pc and tandy 1000 but the lowres mode is driving me nuts...the 640x200 is also a bad. It was much much better if I connected the hercules monitor...better hires in monochrome then color in lowres....

There are limits of my mce-adapter solution with nec-tft (71vm or 1970nxp), the C64 Emulator for hercules 8088 does not work and games that use internal cga-emultion tend to have problems on the tft (out of range, perhaps 18khz 60hz and not 50hz)...but that is not a problem, because I can always …

I downloaded the gfx from the web. because they were created monochrome they are very detailed and much better then coverted stuff with more colors in the original image. I cant resize them because I will lose lot's of details. It would be possible to cutout some parts in order to fit the width and …

we should really make a new thread with native hercules games that use the full resolution and do not use internal cga emulation.

What's about the aspect ratio of hercules? seems that lot's of games tend to be "extreme widescreen" in hercules mode on a real hercules crt-monitor? I guess you mean that a lot of games use the 640x200 CGA emulation mode, instead of the native 720x348: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p= …

...before we do a split I configured my TFT to hercules mode and checked out atomino...this game is excellent. It makes use of the high resolution and does not look liked bumped up lowres cga.
