Re: USB 3.1/3.0 PCIe x1 cards

Posted on 2017-08-25, 17:59

in Milliways
What I cannot understand is USB 3.1 on PCIe 2.0 x1. PCIe 2.0 x1 theoretical bandwidth is 5Gbps, just like USB 3.0. USB 3.1 is 10Gbps. So even theoretically the card cannot deliver anything over what USB 3.0 gives in terms of speed. What other advantages to being called 'USB 3.1' might there be? The …

I would say that you almost certainly need the CTCM device driver line in your config.sys, as Errius has, and possibly the DIAGNOSE command in autoexec.bat as well. This sets up the PnP values. I am actually a little surprised other DOS programs work fine without it... Yes, I'm surprised as well; …

Wrong forum. This forum is for DOS games on newer systems. You should ask questions involving old hardware in Marvin. http://www.vogons.org/viewforum.php?f=60 While I can understand the "ask questions involving old hardware in Marvin", the claim "this forum is for DOS games on newer systems" is …

I thought that Win9x also needed this cable, so you would not get CD audio there without it? Do you have the MIXERSET program (installed as part of the Sound Blaster DOS software)? Try checking if CD Audio may be muted there.

in September we've got Commander Keen lined up. What a rollercoaster :D Which one? All of them? The first trilogy is the original thing, but the second trilogy is much nicer in terms of presentation - complete with Adlib music and SB sound effects. I think it plays nicer too, but that may be …

Re: Warcraft2 mapping number keys to units/groups

In W1, you can't just select a unit, click somewhere on the map and watch him go do the most appropriate action for that location (walk to, attack, harvest, repair, etc.). You have to explicitly mouse over to the command bar and choose the action, even if it's simply Move, then mouse back to the …

Yes I don't recall it being as extensive as that moonlight sequence in MK1. I do remember the game going into demo mode showing bits of the gameplay. If you call that short intro sequence with the lightning bolt and a few others before the gameplay footage then that's pretty barren. It was as long, …

The intro Music for MK1 is also legendary and those quick FMV intros of each character. In MK2 they decided to do away with those special FMV character intros and had no intro game theme. I think it was due to the memory space as they had no room or they would have included it I'm sure. Yes, the …

Interesting observations. :) I think MK1 holds this special place in your heart since it came first, and left a stronger impression. But ultimately I feel that MK2 was stronger in all aspects. When you take into account that MK1 was the first blockbuster game where something like this was seen, the …

But I felt the MK2 fatalities were tamer than MK1 which had more shock value. No way! MK2 fatalities on average were way more shocking. Baraka's impalement that you mentioned is probably the best example (and is way more gruesome than anything you find in MK1), but you also had: Kung Lao' slicing …

I hear what you are talking about. I opened both signals in MATLAB and performed spectrogram analysis. SB output (DOSBox) spectrogram_sbp.png GUS output (DOSBox) spectrogram_gus.png You can see that the GUS signal has considerably more content in the upper frequencies (yellow versus greenish), …
