Re: Looking for original Glide OVL for Lands of Lore 2

Posted on 2018-06-08, 09:01

in DOS
Patch it to 1.30a. Then you can use 3dfx glide. I doubt the game had glide2x.ovl because 3dfx drivers shipped with it. Just download a voodoo1 or 2 driver, extract it and you can find glide2x.ovl. there are different versions of it, voodoo5 drivers having the newest glide2x.ovl

Wow, thanks! So with a multi layered pcb like this one, you cannot access the ground plane because it is covered by another layer. So, in order to 'touch it, one can use for example the ground pins on the molex connector (which I did just now). Here are the results from the test points (voltages) to …

I found another TP, TP6. It's connected to TP5 and TP2. What do you mean with ground plane? Is the card's pci bracket sufficient for ground? Or Q6? If I understand correctly there should be a place on the card that is the ground plane, but I can't find it. I did measure voltage of the connected tp's …

So I've had a little time today. Think I have plenty of time tomorrow. P59 says '472'. Just like the other RN's. I think it's a resistor or resistor network. Multimeter told me 4.47 ohms. Just like RN9 next to it. About the resistor networks, yes I think they are just that. Multimeter read about the …

Re: Return to Zork CD: I/o error?

I also have the CD, works fine under DOS. Maybe you need to disable smartdrive. What OS are you trying to run it on? When creating an iso, make sure the volume label is the same as the original disc. Perhaps you need to play around with UDF settings when creating the ISO (not every program can do …

That list will help. Nice find. I've been spending some of my breaks looking for a VSA100 pinout. No luck so far. (Bad back. I take back breaks. Helps that I am my own boss.) I believe I've found it, see attachment at this post. I don't want to get your hopes up. I could do this in my own shop with …

When you go into single chip mode does it let you select which chip is active? If not do you know which one is active? No, it doesn't let me choose. If I understand correctly it has a master and a slave chip. Complex IC's usually have multiple small supply voltages (sub 3.3v) that are provided by …

New update: So I've replaced every cap on the board, still same problem. Hmm, no idea how to proceed. One would think one of the vsa chips is bad, but how can they function perfectly with 'guardband clipping' disabled... Edit: I still find it odd that R112 has nothing written on it (and this one is …
