Had this happen to me once. It was one of the VRMs (specifically the VRM for MMX core voltage). The board still worked with non-MMX CPUs 😀

Love the idea of a bike but seems so damn dangerous with the way I see car drivers behave every day. More so inattentive drivers than anything malicious, but that's no consolation after the fact.
Re: Halt and Catch Fire what if scenario: "How good would have the Cardiff Giant been in the marketplace?"
Posted on 2016-04-24, 19:36
I enjoyed the first two seasons, in a "can't believe they made this" kind of way. Looking forward to it starting again in the summer. Can't quite remember what year the Giant was supposed to release but it certainly would have been killer compared to the 5155 and Compaq. Even compared to the PC …

All HxC flashed Goteks can do both 1.44MB and 720kB (and a lot of other formats besides).

Not too much left. A few more expensive ones like Ultima Underworld, Ultima 7, Dune, Warcraft. Might be some time before these pop up though.

Is your Gotek flashed with the HxC firmware?

Been waiting to get this one at a reasonable price. http://i.imgur.com/4JncTOQl.jpg So much concentrated awesome here! I think this is pretty much it on the LucasArts front for me. Rebel Assault I & II are on another shelf. I'm not really interested in the newer Lucas stuff. Missing Maniac Mansion …
Re: Some advice about hardware mixers
Posted on 2016-04-22, 08:33
I use one of these active mixers, seems to work OK but only 3 stereo channels. It comes up cheap on UK eBay from time to time, I think I paid less than £20. http://www.pulse-audio.co.uk/5051259014879.shtml Does the Art Splitmix 4 have 4 stereo channels, or 4 mono channels? Would love a Roland MX-5 …
Re: Question about Midiman MM401 and midi devices in general...
Posted on 2016-04-21, 19:24
It has some extra features that are used by music software. In general though it's just nice to have. You can use another card for digital sound without worrying about the hanging note bug. There is a full list of games that require an "intelligent mode" MPU on the SoftMPU wiki. The Wing Commander …
Re: Voodoo 1 a worthwhile card to have?
Posted on 2016-04-21, 19:20
I have a soft spot for Voodoo Graphics (V1), especially the Orchid cards with the mechanical relay. Lots of good memories. However, their performance is really pretty poor, even in some games that support them specifically, like EF2000. I replaced mine with a V2 which was at least twice as fast and …

Hello I tried using your dos manager with the latest HxC firmware (v3.0.8.1a) on a Gotek emulator. I'm not sure how do you exactly are supposed to use it but what I did was to use the DosDiskBrowser to put the hxcfs.exe into the first disk image. When I try to launch it from there I get floppy …

I didn't try to install it, though. Maybe it's worth checking if it can scale low-res graphics full-screen. I have a 370C with the 640x480 TFT. It can stretch 320x200 DOS games full screen, but the scaling artifacts are noticeable. Alternatively you can have a black bar on the top and bottom, which …

Yes, what you did should be fine. I'm still using v3.0.6.6a, I'll try the latest version when I get a chance.
Re: Gravis Ultrasound Stereo Separation Issue

After further testing I think there is some panning on GUS in Dreams and Fantasies, just not the hard panning seen on SB16. The hard panning is kind of annoying after a while actually. In Illusions, GUS output seems totally mono, but sounds nice with partial panning on SB16. I wonder if Illusions …
