Yes, I meant to say do they have any difference outside of emulating either an SBPro or a SB16. Let's say I never need to emulate one of those and play only Windows games.

I didn't want to interrupt the install by manually searching for the driver when the window popped up; I also assumed that I wouldn't be asked to locate the driver if the install worked as it should. I decided to wait and use Device Manager to look for the driver on the CD and Windows. I don't …

OK, I got the drivers uploaded here: Sound Blaster Live! Install CT4830 CT4832 CT4760 They worked -- kind of! I was optimistic because the install disc was different from the other two I had tried. However, as the install neared the end, Windows once again asked me for the location of the "PCI …

The speakers are okay, and I've really stopped caring too much about audio fidelity. (I'm using a laptop for my main computer, and I've been using its built-in speakers for years.) With a family, I can't really crank the sound anyway. I'm more concerned about desktop space and a lack of wire clutter …

Yes, I used to be the same way. I still have a Logitech 2.1 speaker set with a giant subwoofer that I need to donate. Now I just want small speakers that get the job done. I was using a tiny Jawbone Jambox bluetooth speaker until I remembered that there was a soundbar option for an old monitor that …
Re: Unreal
Posted on 2015-06-14, 07:12
I bought Unreal new back in 1998 and played it on my K6-2 350 MHz and a Riva 128. Later a Voodoo Banshee. I never got very far because the framerates were so terrible. After 17 years, I loaded it on a modest 466 MHz Celeron with a Voodoo 3 (AGP). I was able to run it at 1600x1200 at 27 FPS with …
Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?
Posted on 2015-06-14, 05:38
I think several of us found them. Mine replaced a 800 MHz Coppermine that itself replaced a 600 MHz Katmai. I know what you're talking about. What's funny is that a couple of days before I read about the NIB OEM CPUs, I bought a matched pair of used ones. I went ahead and bought a NIB one anyway. …

I finally found a 1000MHz 100FSB Slot 1 P3, so I upgraded my main build from 700MHz. This is a Dell Optiplex GX1 that originally came with a 333MHz P2. I love this OEM box. Only drawback (a big one) is no AGP. I have a Seattle board that I'll build around eventually, but this GX1 is plenty speedy …

Very cool. I know that you can turn on framerate with "DNRATE", but is there a way to get an average framerate for a demo loop (like Quake), or do you just have to observe the dynamic framerate on the opening demo?

When I was fiddling around with the two Live! models I have, I was able to get Windows to recognize one. I'm not sure I was using the proper driver, which is why I gave up. The sound seemed okay but just "off," if you know what I mean. I had to restore the classic Windows start sound (rather than …

What sort of problem were you having? If you describe the problem, perhaps the community here can help you fix it. I'm having trouble finding a driver/install CD for a specific Live! model, CT4830. According to this list http://support.creative.com/kb/ShowArticle.aspx?sid=10846 It is a Sound …

I should add that I have some other PCI sound cards such as the SB PCI 512 and the SB Ensoniq PCI.
AWE64 Gold as Win98SE Primary Sound Card
Posted on 2015-06-12, 04:16
What are the disadvantages of using a PnP ISA card such as the AWE64 Gold as your only Win98SE sound card? I use this card when I boot to DOS. I could not get two different SB Live! cards to work with Win98SE even after using the install CDs from Vogonsdrivers for my model numbers. I read about the …
Re: GLQuake Resolution Issue
Posted on 2015-06-10, 16:13
Thanks. I downloaded 1.49 for my V3 (hope that was the right one). The old MiniGL that would not do higher resolutions is 1.1. Some more questions: 1. Once I renamed it to opengl.old, I assumed that GLQuake would use the opengl.dll in Windows/System. Is this correct? 2. The version in Windows/System …
Re: GLQuake Resolution Issue
Posted on 2015-06-10, 15:12
Yeah, don't use the included opengl32.dll with GLQuake with Voodoo3. That's a reaaaaally early MiniGL intended for Voodoo1. Delete it to use the system ICD or you could grab a newer MiniGL that may support the V3's wide amount of resolutions That was the problem! I'm glad the solution was so simple …

Shoot. I put in the specs for my main retro computer. I'll edit the first post in a sec. Here is the system I'm using for Glide: Win98SE / 466 MHz Celeron / Voodoo 3 AGP / 192MB / SB AWE64 Gold Still having this problem.

GLQuake Resolution Issue

I just installed Quake 1.09 on my system, followed by GLQuake 0.97. I'm running Win98SE on a 466MHz Celeron / 128MB RAM / Voodoo 3 AGP, and SB AWE64 Gold. GLQuake runs just fine at default settings. I want to test different resolutions. I can get it to 800x600 by adding -width 800 -height 600 to the …

Fastvid made a huge difference for me. I loaded Quake (shareware 1.06) for the first time and was disappointed by the low frame rates. At 800x600, I was getting between 9 and 10 FPS. I have a 700MHz P3 (100 FSB), 128MB RAM (unknown specs), Geforce FX5500 PCI (no AGP on MB), and CT1330A. I did not …
