Please reduce image size when embedding images in the post. Even on 1920x1200 I have to scroll sideways. Edit: Nvm, fixed now 😀

Artex, this isn't the first time you post pictures of hardware,but they are gems as always. I don't know where you're getting it all from, but keep it up 😀

I don't know how well the Voodoo 2 would work in cooperation with the Voodoo 3, but as a single card solution the Voodoo 3 gives very much combined: - Great output quality - High resolution support - Glide & Direct3D support - Good DOS compability If you want to play with the Voodoo2 in SLI, then I …

How often do natural disasters occur that cut the electricity for over one day? As you said, cellular phones will be keeping it going for some time (base stations got emergency generators/batteries) which in most cases will be enough time for the power to get back on. If it doesn't get back on …

Virtual On kicks some serious ass. It just fits the whole Model 2 era of Sega arcade games that I love. Did you get a good price on that package? Looks pricey and awesome ;) I got it from Japan for 4900 yen, which is 56 dollars. I think that was a good deal, seeing how the joystick alone go for …

After I got both NEC 3DEngine PCX1 & 2 cards with the whole bundle, I've been playing around with SEGA's arcade port to the PC; Virtual On: Cybertroopers PowerVR edition. (Picture of NEC 3DEngine2 Virtual On Edition here .) Here are the first impressions: The PowerVR version is graphically superior …

Here in Scandinavia they are closing down the whole dialup telephone system in two-three years time. From then on it will only be mobile, broadband and IP telephone. Rural and old people who only have regular fixed phone will get a replacement that is either IP or mobilephone based (with adapters to …
Re: PS/2 Mouse port addon, optical mouse with serial protocol

I have a PCChips M921 board that has a broken PS/2 mouse connector (board bug) and some sort of either PCI, ISA or adapter would be very great. I guess that controller card do work in Windows though, and from there you could play DOS games through a DOS window with USB mouse support? I also found …

You are convinced the PS/2 ports on that card are basically just USB devices?

This PCI controller card says it works without drivers and it supports Win98. I would guess it works in DOS as well. Anyone tried something like this with a 486 PCI board? http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Port-USB-2-0-2-Port-PS-2-Combo-to-PCI-Card-Adapter-/180822424546?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash= …
Re: Is Terratec EWS64XL worth the buy?
Posted on 2012-12-28, 23:59
Basically what gerwin said. Found it too much of an hassle to set up for my usage while at the same time taking up lots of system resources. Also I could never figure out how to get the soundfonts converted into a format it would accept. After I got my SC-55 I just started using that since it's so …

Good to see that others like my build too :) I couldn't find any pics on the net, but does your CPU socket have any of those HSF notches? If so, then you could use one of those "Z" clips to mount one of those larger passive Pentium coolers to the CPU. Yes it does, it looks exactly like in this …

I say the Mystique 220 is a good choice. Never had any issues with it and I like the excellent 2D output. Maybe some very early DOS games have issues, but I can't mention any I've encountered myself, and if you intend on playing the most popular ones you shouldn't have any problems.

Some of the programs they try and get you to install through their own installer might be borderline adware/spyware, but you have the option to decline all of this and just download the driver. I've done this several times and Microsoft Security Essentials and Bitdefender have never complained.
