Sweet, another tool in the toolbox. By doing it with stopclk isn't it going to have some of the same problems that the APCI throttling does? Not the ones where you can't quite get the right speed, but more the stuttering and uneven surges type. You mean ODCM... No, not from what I'm reading... It …

This obsoletes all the carefully tuned (for slowness) K6 and VIA CPU builds , people not like when something simple erases their efforts :-) That pretty much changes little, because late Socket 370 and early Socket A (both with ISA) platforms were already considered as best solution for your buck …

LINK: 1 , 2 This employs the method of sending PWM pulses to the STOPCLK pin of CPUs... Pentium MMX to Pentium 4 seems to have it (P4 might have an errata that prevents it from working properly though), and Athlon to Athlon XP has it (can someone confirm if AM2/AM3 has it as well?)... This seems to …

BTW, I've been able to add serial-MIDI support, can you test it? Right now is fixed to COM1 and 38400 baud rate. I haven't tested this on a real midi device, but it seems to work fine on my laptop (Retro PC -> Serial port -> Serial-USB adapter -> Windows PC -> "Hairless MIDI<->Serial Bridge" -> …

I forgot that the PII and PII are locked even in software ..my bad, though IIRC there are PII cpus that are not locked or only locked from increasing the Multi .. perhaps one of thoes would work here. Even a PII Klamath running at 66 x 3 is 200mhz, and 150mhz if you can lower the FSB to 50mhz (not …

You won't be able to change the multiplier because P3 CPUs are multiplier locked... As you have discovered, 'artificial' slowdown methods are not always desirable... I second what @Trashbytes suggests - socket7 + PMMX is your easiest choice... There are many things that can be disabled on the CPU to …

Definetely there is a bug in the DOS Extender, DPMI function 0800H. It fails if we try to map more than 8Mb. This issue also happens on other games, and it turns out that's why NOLFB program was created ( https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=467 ). There are cards that limit the amount of VESA …

Does it crash right at the start? Or does it crash ingame? Also, does this happen with other executables such as fdoom.exe or fdoom13h.exe? EDIT: I think I've found the issue, it's crashing on cards with 16Mb or more of VRAM https://github.com/viti95/FastDoom/issues/185 EDIT2: NOLFB fixes this …
