Shadowrun Returns Been on my list for awhile but never got around to it. Seems pretty basic but easy to get into and has a story so I'm still playing. Both the gameplay and the story go to shit halfway through. I hear Dragonfall is significantly better but Returns burned me out so bad that I never …

I'm having strange centering issues with a CL-GD5428 when using UniVBE, the screen is shifted to the right. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Nope, I have one of those it is the commercial box. The student version came in a box that looks like the other one, only IBM logo no OS/2 branding.

I'm currently building a mt32-pi-midi-hat as a fun side project and the two hats seem to be pretty similar in design and functionality. Serge's board is a lot more compact and professional though 😀

I bought myself a new Socket AM4 cooler, the Snowman M-T6. Such good performance for such a cheap cooler.

It sure does have some bass but that can be toned down in the app I think? I mostly like it but there has been the odd time when it felt like too much of a good thing I believe Tiido (or someone else? Maybe keropi?) posted earlier a bunch of small software or sysex messages that reset the EQ to …

Please find attached a report and debug file for my new toy, a Fujitsu Lifebook S6110 laptop running Windows 98SE. All seems to be in order but hopefully it helps with something anyway.

Recieved this in the mail today, and proceded to order a RaspberryPI 3 A+..... (I love the artwork on the back of the PCB) It came with a new SD card and a HDMI cable in the box.

Never had any issues with getting 600 KB of conventional memory free on my DOS rigs. I do pick my hardware very carefully though. That said, I can see how this could have been a problem for people who used sound cards that included TSR programs in their drivers back in the day. This was easy post …

I had to downclock to 100MHz. PSA: You may think your IBM/Cx 5x86 is stable at 120MHz for running Quake timedemos but long term use showed me they get really finnicky..

I recently tried this card this weekend and failed to get it to post with a U5S at 33MHz 0WS. At 1WS it is as fast as a CL-GD5428 at 0WS.
