Unreal and Omikron: The Nomad Soul have actually become playable with this processor! I have Nomad Soul for the Dreamcast. It looks very interesting (much more interesting than David Cage's later games) but the controls on the Dreamcast are terrible. How does it control with a keyboard? I bet you …

Have been trying to breathe some more life into my other rig - which I somewhat moved away from after building the compact P3 in my sig: Pentium 120 (P54CQS) @133 Mhz; 32MB RAM; ViRGE 325 4MB; Voodoo Graphics 4MB; ES1868F; Windows 95/DOS 6.22. This is a loose replica of the first PC my family owned …

That was actually an interesting read, thanks! How does the V3 heatsink handle games in terms of temps?

ruthan, I only know for a fact that this one is (with the simplest of passive adapters possible), but it is loud as all hell and it is - indeed - quite basic.

If you are not interested in early speed sensitive DOS games - Slot 1/Socket 370 system. This is a common misconception: the middle-ground Pentium 3s (450-800) can also be accurately slowed down using third-party software like Throttle , and are actually better-suited for games like Test Drive III …

How is the PCI video card connected? What kind of sorcery (riser) is this? This was actually an unexpected turn of events :) The video card is a regular AGP GF2 MX, and initially I intended to just use a normal "right-angle" AGP riser for it (so it would occupy the same position the green PCI audio …

Thanks guys! What board is this? It is a DFI CS32-TC - but I plan to swap it for a Chaintech 6VIA5T in the near future (to improve the DOS-sound compatibility). Too bad none of the two has the onboard LAN, so it's either a dedicated NIC or a WiFi dongle (the RT2571W ones work great in 98SE/ME and …

Also should i try to underclock/slow down cpu or just disable L1 & L2 cache when playing dos games? There is a pretty big list of older games that might require it (check this thread - it also has a link to a more comprehensive list in it), but even if disabling the caches do not work for you ( …

my latest 486 build ...That is one gorgeous setup. I'm kinda speechless :exclamation: I also wish all neat PC setups were shot with a camera like this! And here is my little YOLO thingie: 3.png It's a micro-ATX Pentium 3 from my sig inside a slightly modified (for silence and long life) mini-ITX …

Little update: I still haven't founf the holy grail of an uATX board with Slot1, ISA and 256Mb mem support, but getting close. Haven't closed the deal yet, but I've found two very close approximations: - MSI MS-6198 (uATX, So370 FC-PGA, Via 694X (ApolloPro133A) chipset and that ISA slot) - Tyan …

Where did you get it? Are there more? Does the right-most button look strange in this image? Hi, I have a case of this model, and I don't intend to use it. The chassis itself has seen better days, but I can part with the face panel no problem (it's easier to ship it that way, too). PM me if you're …

http://www.tmeeco.eu/BitShit/PCschit/SintechiSDtoIDE.jpg I'm using this adapter on a PIII with a 128GB SDXC card - also working great after removing the factory partition and performing the "FDISK /mbr" thing. I was actually having some problems with it initially, but after shortening the IDE cable …

@dionb, what makes you say so? I've tried fowarding those ports in the router many times back when I had a dynamic/public IP, and it plain didn't work for me (it did for some "modern" games, though). That's why we kinda emphasise the "real/static" part, since in practice this is the caveat that will …

Lode Runner, Ultimas I to VII Pt.1, Might & Magic I to V. Also, check here: http://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_CPU_speed_sensitive_games More games for this list: Battle Zone (1980), disable L1 cache + use Throttle and adjust it to ~XT Conan The Cimmerian (1991), disable L1 cache to …

I should just probably add that we've (me and aleksej) played Doom II not 10 hours ago using this very method :) Which is a pretty funny coincidence (this thread and all, I mean). Back in 2009 - when aleksej was still researching this possibility - we've also played over DOS-Kali, and it worked (for …
