Interesting Thread :) I am thinking about a Scenic Pro C5 (1025). Mine has a matrox-mystique onboard accelerator. I added the MPEG-Module on the board and used a pentium 200mmx and a voodoo1. I am pretty sure, that the mystique-software will run on that. (did not make any testing) The later Scenic …

I have collected some of these cards, but I am interested what other people have and what they do with them. https://www.flickr.com/photos/94839221@N05/al … 157665671196304

Really sad that this fantastic game has so much issues with the shaders. I have two mac-versions. The old PPC 1.x and the newer Universal 2.x So sad that there was no OS9 version like shown in the demo with jobs. PPC Version does not support shaders (e.g. shadereffects) on my GF4-Ti4600, neither on …

One of my Schneider Tower-AT's does in fact run at 12,5/12,5 and this machine is blazingly fast...much faster then the Tower386 16Mhz SX.

The ESS1688F randomly losses it's settings. It very hard to get the card working again. If the settings are lost, then no other card is working in that ISA slot (Sound or VGA). If I tell the system to add a generic SB card via intel pnp-m,anager 1.43, then the ESS card is detected, but settings are …

if i compare the capabilities of the amiga with it's custom chips we saw these type of stutterfree effects only on 486 and soundquality with the gus. everything before did not show this quality and smoothness. But I don't get it why people always want to see an amiga do lowres low-textured 3d, this …

Also, in my case I featured the 286 in one of my demos: http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=62165 The reason for that is that a fast 286 is pretty capable for 3D stuff, but the demoscene on PC didn't really take off until 386 and 486 were common. So most classic demos are 32-bit. I wanted to do …
