Tom's Graphics Card Hierarchy Chart - Old Version

Does anybody happen to have a saved copy of the old version of Tom's chart that they would be willing to share? They must have updated their website and renovated the chart sometime in the last year or two. The "legacy" portion of the chart is far less useful now. For example, there's no way in heck …

AppleSauce, Thank you for your take on the game. I really appreciate your insight into this legendary sacred cow of retro computing. I had not considered that the god-like retribution I was able to unleash on the aliens in the final battle was my reward for the initial difficulty of the game. That …

I first played XCOM back in 1994 when I got my first 486. I remember enjoying it and thinking it was a really difficult game, so I got distracted and never completed it. Recently, I revisited XCOM ( OpenXCOM this time) and finished the game. Here are my thoughts: Nostalgia is a powerful thing. The …

It turns out there are two versions of the CT4830, one with the digital out and one without. I assume that the one with the digital out is the retail version, the one without the OEM version. Do both of those cards have the same IDs in the hardware manager? I ask, because I noticed some weirdness …

If you use LiveWare v3.0 with the CT4830 you should be able to get the SB16 emulation working. The original driver disc may also work too, but I'm not 100% sure about that. Forget about DOS or SB16 emulation with the SB0220. Otherwise, I've found it to be an excellent card that is frequently …
