My AWE32 is CT3780. I want to get onboard EMU8000 wavetable into dos games but no matter what settings I am using it is always mute. The wavetable is working fine when testing with diagnose program and it's all working correctly in windows 3.1 but it never works in any dos game I have tried. Either …

Interesting. Even with 486 (33Mhz) processor and real EGA card, the "Monster Bash" game doesn't work as smooth as it should be. The intro sequence is extremely laggy while the gameplay was fine though occasionally slowed down a bit. Officially for Monster Bash game the system requirements were: - …

What Sound card are You using? You may have to install PNP software for the sound card that lets you change irq, dma, that's assuming it is a PNP card. There is no reason why You shouldn't be able to use com ports, parallel, gameport, sound card, etc all at the same time. I'm using this OPL4 card: …

I have this early 8-bit VGA card called Paradise Pvga. It contains dip switch settings for: - Switch 1 Monitor Type. ON: Multi frequency, OFF: Standard VGA - Switch 2 VGA Mode Switching Style. ON: PS/2 Style - All modes available on all monitors, OFF: PC/AT Style - color on color, mono on mono - …

Tseng ET3000AX is extremely slow card. Even the old slow trident isa cards are faster. I have Tseng ET3000AX and another EGA card, but unfortunately I have not been able to find EGA monitor. EGA monitors are very rare but CGA monitors are easier to find. Maybe the most common would be Atari and …

I wonder if the Keen games were really being developed on real EGA systems / for real EGA systems.. :confused: Technically, EGA as a mode has some nifty features that are useful on VGA systems.. To make an example, EGA has Dual-Page Mode, which is nice to have if smooth graphics are required. It …

There are several EGA games, for example from Apogee which requires 386 at minimum. The game "Monster Bash" was too slow even with my 16Mhz 286. That game is from 1993 and supports VGA. EGA would have certainly been for compatibility with much older systems. In those days, an old computer running …

I have got this Mozart 16 sound card with OPL3 chip. However I can't get it working. I have tried several installation setups but each time in the sound check the FM synth fails. Digital voice works fine but when testing fm synth it gives me an error "hardware can't initialize". If I continue the …

sadly it can't be done and having a combo ega/vga card (with dedicated 9pin and 15pin connectors) does not work well for ega games (compatibility issues with games that support both ega and vga mainly) so it's not a good solution... the way to go is dedicated setups. Please tell me what are the …

Is there any possibilities to have separated EGA and VGA at the same time or are the combo cards the only solution? I have already 286 8Mhz computer with EGA card but many later era EGA games requires 386 or 486. I have 486 33Mhz computer as well but I originally wanted it to be VGA machine (it's …
