Their supersampling has such a huge performance hit. At 4X AA on the 6000 you may be limited to 1024x768 with even 1998-1999 games to keep the framerate high. And since it's 32MB effective, I wonder if memory consumption might be a problem and you might get some additional stuttering. To me, …

You can also use a Protocol Translater. https://www.serdashop.com/PS2TOSERIAL If you want you can also build it yourself, files are on my github. Yes the BIOS and the Keyboard Controller need to support it. Maybe a Driver could also work without BIOS Support.

Geforce 4, Radeon 9700 even a geforce 2 is faster than a V5 6000, there's no reason to get one apart from a collectable standpoint and historical reasons :p and simple answer is, you can't. it's a highly collectible card that was never released retail and trades for immense sums, you can get a …

I'm also excited for one of these cards. I was thinking about having both an Orpheus and MK8330 in one machine; the Orpheus would have a X2GS on it and the MK8330 would have a McCake. Between the 2 cards, there would also be SB/SBPro/SB16/WSS support in DOS and Windows driver support from the …

I'm guessing you never tested a VIA C3. That's actually the idea: you DON'T need to disable the L1 cache to hit a gazillion speed points (especially since there are games which enable the L1 cache at startup). You can selectively disable the branch prediction, instruction cache, decrease the …
