Just for some input on the shrinking cursor problem, I was alerted to the fact that it does not happen on Microsoft Edge for some reason. It just leaves the cursor alone. As such, at least the usability issue regarding the custom cursor can be avoided, at least for now. So, I guess the problematic …

By the way, I thought you couldn't get the 66MHz TI in BQFP-100 form, but it turns out I was wrong. Now I need to find a couple: https://i.imgur.com/zFIUusG.png The B in BQFP stands for "buffered" - it's part of the JEDEC standard for the BQFP100/BQFP132 that describes the "wings" that come out …

Here's an overlay of the 386sx/cx486slc/IBM 486slc2: https://i.imgur.com/oa7ImsC.png Is there absolutely any way you can label those yellow pins with how they are different compared to the stock Intel 386SX? Or link to a page that discusses this? This would solve many of the questions I have, along …

Is it just me, or does the forum now hijack my mouse cursor? Instead of the mouse cursor I have set in my OS settings, it changes it to a weird, thin and very small mouse cursor. I never noticed it until someone mentioned it. I use the classic windows cursor, and the one on Vogons is just *slightly …

I posted this in another thread, not sure which one it should be in, so I'll just put it here as well: I’ll address this where you mentioned it on the welcome thread. Just wanted to ask about this again since I may have missed where it was addressed. Below is the original post I was referring to. …

For the love of all good things, please change the base color, or give us more options. The purple is just eye searing on my monitor.

The community really owes you a major thanks for your work on reversing the SoundJr. Despite not being as well known, it's capabilities are significant. It is something that a lot more people would use if they were aware of its capabilities and it was easier to acquire (at least I'd like to think so …

Interesting that it didn't detect it. I would imagine you are correct regarding the short protection.

I was thinking about it, and I think the patcher that exists will work. Considering the sound blaster emulator needs the TSR, you can't use the Sound blaster function with just a simple patch, but Adlib can be made to work since no emulation software is needed for that. Since the parallel port for …

One thing that puzzles me about the Port Blaster is why Creative thought they could run the device off the parallel port power anyway. You can barely make a SoundJr. run off of it. There is no way the Port Blaster would have run on it. I also think this is strange. It's not that difficult to add …

I wonder if this device's Sound Blaster emulation driver works like OPL2LPT's TSR driver. Considering how it requires at least 80386 to work and it doesn't work in protected mode, I think this might be the case. And if it does, maybe a game patcher could also be made. I think it's likely, but I'm …
