Re: Retro Rig Photo Thread

Posted on 2018-07-16, 20:53

Made a few upgrades to my Tualatin 1.4S Win98SE machine: - replaced case with CoolerMaster N200 so I can fit the DVD-RW drive even with the larger ASUS TUSL-L motherboard I had to get after my TUSL2-M gave up the ghost - new Corsair CX450M power supply - modular to clean up cable management - …

Comanche 4 not working in XP

Posted on 2018-07-16, 14:46

My system specs. are in my sig. When I get to the menu it loses control of the cursor and I have to do a "soft boot". Installation was kinda flaky too, and slow. This is suprising given the game came out around 2002, about the same time as XP rolled out. I downloaded a patch but I'm at work so …

Janes WW2 WinXP graphics problems

Posted on 2018-07-11, 16:59

Installed OK, intros work fine but when I try to fly graphic glitches abound. Can't recall Nvidia driver version offhand but really don't want to change those as the other games on this system work fine. See my sig for specs, using XP SP2 latest DX9. Can't verify if game is trying to use opengl or …

Well installed Jane's WW2 Fighters on my XP system and the intro menus all look good but as I start flying you can tell the graphics is messed up: half a plane missing, cockpit instruments not clear, bullet tracings green etc. Patching it up made no difference. Need to verify it's using opengl if I …

I want to say PM and email but the file size is way over the limit in my case, surely there is another way someone can think of. I'm guilty of forgetting about this post, will try to fire up my XP system tonight and see if Jane's will run on it ok. May be tough sledding with a Geforce 7950GT but …

Hercules 3D Prophet II Ultra - drivers W98SE

Posted on 2018-06-25, 20:00

Started out with the original drivers for this card but wanted to switch to Nvidia's 30.82 flavor but ran into issues: After switching to the standard PCI driver and deleting/uninstalling the Hercules drivers, upon the next boot the system starts calling for the Hercules drivers and I have to keep …

Just adding NVIDIA's brief documentation on this basic feature here, pages 74-75 in http://download.nvidia.com/Windows/28.32/NVIDIADisplayPropsGuide.pdf ("Device Adjustments: Digital Flat Panel") Not much in the way of aspect ratio control in this example, so relying a bit on the display's handling …

Thanks firage, you got me thinking I do have it set in windows as monitor scaling as the other options (GPU & don't remember the other) didn't look right as screen ratio is set at 4:3 also thru the monitor. Maybe if I set the scaling by GPU first and then try and adjust the ratio by the monitor it …

Re: DVI/DOS problem

DVI is hit and miss in those early cards, some of which were produced before spec was finalized and technically did not conform to it resulting in unexpected and quirky behavior. I have a few cards like that and it's kinda fascinating to me, but for practical purposes there aren't that many cards …

Ok, some other observations on this issue: ALT-Enter doesn't help. Switched to a GF2 with dvi and same issue exists, using it's VGA works no problem. After installing the GF2 I noticed when booting the text is off center vertically, can't see dos prompt at the bottom. Playing Duke3D in Dos the …

By Problem is when running a dos game in a window the screen goes black/GF3 shuts off the feed. do you mean in full screen mode with Windows running in the background or in an actual window under Windows ? Either way, does switching back and forth between full screen and windowed mode with Alt- …
