"Batman" and "Batman's Revenge" are more like codenames for each revision, the actual name for the board is "Premiere/PCI" or something like that, much like the "Advanced/ZP" is also known by its codename "Zappa". Intel's naming scheme has always been strange. yeah, but we still don't know how they …

yeah, it just doesn't play for me, I tried downloading it and it only worked in VLC... maybe because you somehow put AAC encoded audio into a .mp3 file?

I often run multiple MIDI modules in parallel to give the instruments more depth, but that usually only works with GM, as tracks made for MT-32 will not play correctly on a GM module and vice-versa and while some GS/GM modules have a MT-32 mode it never sounds as good as a real MT-32 tbh, but no …

So I'm not an expert on the matter of how grading companies work etc, but afaict they seem quite susceptible to fraud on top of causing price hikes you just summed up how grading companies work in a nutshell. grading companies are made to make money, nothing else, there is no benefit to it …

you can get a reproduction made in russia though and even that will cost you like over $1k How would recreating it cost $1000 if there are cards now that are about 1000x faster. idk where to even begin with this one :D ...but I will try: - sourcing an original V5 6000 to base the design off - …

Geforce 4, Radeon 9700 even a geforce 2 is faster than a V5 6000, there's no reason to get one apart from a collectable standpoint and historical reasons :p and simple answer is, you can't. it's a highly collectible card that was never released retail and trades for immense sums, you can get a …

oh lol, your ROM is in the wrong socket apparently, in the video the ROM with the System/VGA label is in the bottom socket. ayup, your ROM and keyboard controller are swapped, they have the same VCC/GND pins, so may still work x3 ...hmm VDD on the keyboard socket controller might be an issue though …

it was already really late yesterday so only watching the video myself now, but yeah it seems the 8pin DIN is indeed the keyboard, idk if a normal AT keyboard will work, may be possible because the extra 2 pins seem to be for a speaker inside the keyboard as seen here: https://deskthority.net/ …
