Re: How come since 2018ish this section has died?

Posted on 2023-01-04, 15:49

PCEMv17 seemed 2 be the last milestone and their forums are practically dead too unless you go to way older topics. Never witnessed that firsthand, but from what I have read it seems to be a heated argument between PCem and 86Box (a fork), and some of them were insults. It caused the original …

Perhaps the tweaking guide from oldskool.org could help. An excerpt: Too light; Too heavy Here's another "gotcha" old programs love to spring on you: Too little free DOS RAM (or too much--yes, too much free RAM. I'll get to that in a minute.) You all know the drill, so I'll only describe it in …

Re: Voodoo 2 DOS Glide compatibility matrix

Related to this thread, I modded two DOS Glide 2.4x files from the Voodoo Graphics to work with Voodoo2 cards. This could make the trick with Dreams to Reality which I heard that it was notorious for not working with Voodoo2 cards. Check here: DOS Glide 2.4x Mod for Voodoo2

Re: Geforce FX 5200 upgrade?

Reminder: 60 FPS with hardware from 2000s wasn't a thing. It became common during the 2010s when hardware became more powerful. P.S: I'm not saying that it wasn't possible (especially with older games), but developers weren't targeting that at the time. If I had been playing it in 2004, I would …

the 9600 and 5200 preform about the same. Nope, the FX 5200 was inferior when it comes to SM 2.0 stuff that was introduced in DX9. nVidia did really cheat with the drivers during this moment, with games looking worse as a result. The main reason why people currently GeForce FX cards is because it …

Hello, Gmlb256 first of all congratulations for the work done and thanks for sharing your work. I have a curiosity (at the moment I can't tinker with my retro pc and therefore I can't verify by myself, I apologize if I steal your time): using this version of Glide DOS and setting the correct …

Amazing: this works - thanks for sharing. I was able to get Screamer 2 working on Voodoo 2 using this driver. CPU is a Coppermine Celeron 900 on i810 chipset. Glad that it worked for you. :) 'set SST_GRXCLK=90' in the environment variables was modified to 'set SST_GRXCLK=57', this fixed …

Re: Custom ISA Cards

A 16-bit ISA card might even be able to use an FPGA or a Raspberry PI (or both) as a Voodoo clone. 3D acceleration of any kind in an ISA PC would be cool in my book. https://hackaday.com/2022/11/13/emulate-any-isa-card-with-a-raspberry-pi-and-an-fpga/ A Voodoo clone as a 16-bit ISA card would be …

in DOS
Some files from MS-DOS 5.0 are included (COMMAND, EDIT, .etc) with NTVDM for some very basic DOS compatibility.
