My PCIs came in the same box, I haven't checked yet to see if they really make Lara more breasty. Aw I think TR Legend is just past Win98, so no confirming from me. *chuckles* Works as intended for 512 Mb AGP card in 9x environment. a) Apply 512 Mb fix. b) Disable AGP DIME driver and/or limit AGP …

Being the old fool I picked up a Geforce 6200 AGP 512MB to try out in Win 98SE. The drivers "77.72_win9x_international.exe" pick up the card and install fine, any older versions complain they can't find the card. And sure enough it shows up as an AGP 2x card in the properties with 512 memory, …

For my Win 98 machine i've often had an AGP Voodoo 3500 paired with a PCI PowerVR PCX2. I've found using 3DCC (3D Control Center) makes it a doddle to switch between them for different games. What I have in mind now is putting a AGP Geforce FX5500, PCI Voodoo 2 and PCI PowerVR PCX2 in the same rig. …

Has someone confirm that no-steam retail version 0f Half Life 2 even exist? In short no, but; If you google up "Halflife 2 build 2153" or " 2187 " you'll find versions were people have switched the SecuROM hl2.exe with the .exe from the modern DRM free steam release. It's older versions like these …

What's your idea of decent framerate? Don't tell me it's 60fps because that's not how UnrealEngine rolled for everyone on 1999 hardware... i've only seen the PCX2 ever hit 60 in those on a Pentium 4 system. True, modern framerates have spoiled me, it's just odd Honor Guard looks and plays better on …

Could I ask what settings people are using for Unreal/Klingon Honor Guard? Having trouble getting any decent framerate, but that might be down to the P3 750MHz CPU I'm using with it! Such a CPU hungry card!

Hopefully yours has an Award BIOS, if so then you can use: W6156IMS which inside TXT says: MS-6156BX W6156IMS V1.6 BIOS Release (For BX chipset only) I just DL'd it so you should be able to also. If yours has the AMI BIOS then the newest is: A656MS11 from January 1999... I dl'd most all on that …

I have used a "ATI Radeon X600" and "NVIDIA GeForce 7200 GS" under Windows 98SE, and both video cards were PCI-E , I had to use some hacked drivers but other than that I had no big problems. Ah sorry I meant to ask in the original post if they work for anyone with chipsets new enough to support …

Those Nvidia drivers might also be nice to try, to bad it does include the 7100GS though might be able to mod the .inf since the 7300GS is supported. Hmm I've used some tweaked drivers by Maximus-Decim that have worked well for a Geforce 7600GS except I had to use a shutdown patcher otherwise it …

Not possible! The only filtering you can turn off is the video filtering. Ah a shame; I'm just going to have to say it has a unique look compared to the software mode then. it would've been filtered by default (it's all or nothing for PCX2). Also I remember I couldn't get it going on my PCX2 ages …
