Just checked it out on my setup, a P1 MMX with a single Voodoo2 (no sli) in pure DOS 6.22. After installing and configuring the game I applied the patch (the one that writes the S2_65kh.exe, S2_256h.exe etc files, it is on my screamer disk and is entitled "Screamer 2 Patch Installation (v1.11)"). …

What? It was the most expensive 3D acceleration card, and it did not offer any 2D capabilities. Carmack at ID Software belived the 3DFX cards to be too expensive hence they initially went for supporting the Rendition Verite in Quake. Luckily for 3DFX there were a huge dip in DRAM prices in the …

I thought Quake 1 never got 3dfx support? I'm not talking about Quake 2 or other windows versions (GLQuake etc), just Quake 1 that's mentioned twice already in this thread having a 3dfx patch and drivers optimized for it. For what concerns topic starter's question, in a few words when Voodoo's came …

What about having the card working and running a demo, but wanting to test/verify specs? Is there any utility/diagnostic tool (pure DOS) that will detect the card and say "that's a voodoo 2 with 8mb", perform some tests and verify that all memory is ok, both TMU's are operational etc. Or is it …

Results for machine 1 seem all very logical to me. They are in accordance with my results in a similar system and Phil's results in the benchmarks database. For machine 2 Doom & Quake results seem again correct and logical for the configuration. For 3DBench & PCPBench though (based on doom & quake …

Found a good supply for packaging for the ALT12887, which should allow me to safely send them over regular mail (~2cm thick), and modified the board design to shave another ~70mil (~1/16") in height (which I needed to fit in said packaging). 1st batch PCBs will have slightly trimmed pins to fit in …

Yes, this is what you need. It is really simply to setup them, I just gave you the whole picture. You just need an application running (the telnet server + FOSSIL driver) which will fire the bbs software. Configuring this application is as simple as choosing to what port it listens and which file it …

I meant that with having something to answer telnet and redirect it to the bbs software, there is no need to even go the VPS way. Bandwidth of a simple line is more than enough for you to host it at your own place, as we used to to with bbs's. You can of course run the bbs software with door games …

What instructions exactly do you need about this? It's kind of application specific, but maybe we can help. The general idea that you need to setup a FOSSIL driver as an additional layer between the bbs and the internet. This driver will translate telnet requests to what the bbs software expects and …
