I've been collecting 3dfx cards since 2003 and it has brought me joy throughout the years. I've learned a lot about the history of videocards and 3dfx in particular. Unfortunately, though I had great plans for my collections (my 3dfx and non-3dfx collections), I must admit that after years of …

Maybe just a Graphics category with company subcategories and put all graphics drivers in there?

I'm using 7zip on a my Win98se machine, works perfect. As for the dupes; in my opinion, the "VGA drivers + Windows xy" category should go. Drivers should be listed under the device type (3D Accelerators) and manufacturer with a reference to the OS in the title.

I picked the S3 because it's a 2D card. I'm worried that a 2D/3D card might interfere with the results or do the accelerating instead of the 3D card I want to record. Are my worries unfounded?

This is not going well. The S3 drivers were not to blame. When I select a resolution above 640x480, that's when the stream gets borked. At 640x480 there's not distortion/flickering/borked screen but it's all red-ish and shifted a bit to the left. Might be the pci slot though.

In Aver MediaCenter 3D; Settings > Capture > Configure Input Source > Configure Recording > H.264 Edit > setting the video size doesn't seem to do anything for recording in DOS. As for Windows, The S3 drivers I installed were to blame. Trying to solve that now.

I've got some serious problems with my capturing. I'm using the AverMedia Game Broadcaster HD and a Aten VS-132 videosplitter. The system I have my Avermedia card installed in, has Windows 7. The system I'm trying to record has Windows 98se. In DOS; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_D3lb2GE1fQ In …

Doesn't the Windows 8.1 update (which is free for Win8 owners) add the startbutton to Windows 8 again? I thought I read something like that.

OMG! I just fixed it. Dumbass sound setup from Carmageddon selected the wrong chips 🙁. Selecting ESS Audiodrive manually worked. I hate Dos! 😁 @Gerwin; thanks for those pre-installed things. Makes things easier.

I just found this topic; ESS AudioDrive (ES1868) - a surprisingly good ISA sound card I got the DOS drivers, ran it, but Carmageddon still won't play the cutscenes beyond the first (few) frames 🙁 What's going on here?
