I picked up a GeForce2 Ultra on eBay. It's really a beautiful card, in perfect physical condition, but the VGA output is a little "messy" at certain resolutions. Specifically it's like parallel diagonal lines of greater then lesser brightness behind the image being displayed. These lines scroll …

Finally got around to trying the DOS Sidewinder driver. It was a good idea, thanks, but it refuses to load the driver: "Sidewinder not present or incorrectly configured." At this point I'd sure love to hear from anyone who can personally say that they've used Device X successfully in pure DOS-mode. …

I fear Mr. Ozzuneoj may be right because I just received my Hammerhead that i dropped $50 on and DOS ISN'T SEEING IT! It only installed into Win98 WITH A DRIVER - and it does work with said driver WITH WINDOWS GAMES - but I greatly prefer my Xbox 360 gamepad for Windows 9x games so that's of no use …

OMG Thank you!! For some reason I wasn't getting to these by way of Google searching. I'm all over that 3dfx one!!

Does this exist as a product I can purchase today: Take the functionality of the traditional large PC joystick of the mid-90's and shrink it down to handheld gamepad form-factor BUT KEEP THE TRUE ANALOG STICK. Skip any product that requires USB. Ideally the analog stick should be on the left with …

Conclusion: I received my StarTech PSU and I'm very happy with it. Actually I'll admit I purchased both PSU's I mentioned in my original post. I had already purchased the KenTek one before posting here because I'd initially thought it would be the better option. OMG, it was so bad guys!! The KenTek …

Current PSU is a SolidGear SDGR-550E: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=1HU-008G-00027 I have multiples of this model new-in-box and I've already tested with a second identical unit to rule out the first one beginning to fail. Behavior is identical so I feel confident it's not a …

BACKGROUND: My retro rig is a custom Slot 1 system built around a 1GHz Coppermine Pentium III CPU. I have a couple of DVD drives installed, two SSD's, and a lot of cards installed into the mobo. My current PSU is a good modern 550w unit with 25a output on the 5v rail. It's done me well but at this …

That post was actually quite helpful because it gave me a new clue. I had no luck with older glide drivers and I went as far back as 1.02.50 (I actually lose functionality with older drivers - the Voodoo's don't even engage any longer), and I had already tried moving the cards around to some extent …

I've built myself a beloved new retro Win98SE/DOS PC around an ASUS P2B-D motherboard and a 1GHz Coppermine PIII CPU. Primary GPU is nVidia GeForce2 GTS and I also have a pair of Voodoo2's in SLI. Overall I've gotten the machine pretty well squared away and stable - and may I say that you guys here …
