PC104 stuff, especially useful PC104 stuff like audio or sound, is so tough to find I ended up making my own PC/104 to ISA adapter board. Nice DB50XG too :) yeah, it's the first time I even found a "normal" PC/104 VGA board. ...and yes I've been listening to the DB50XG all day with the Tyrian2000 …

Re: Are there any more aspect ratio ultratolerant people?
Posted on 2020-11-05, 17:37
My incorrect aspect ratio tolerance is limited to playing 320x200 and 640x480 games on a 5:4 LCD monitor with a native 1280x1024 resolution. ^this I played a lot of 4:3 resolutions at 5:4 and later some 16:9 games on a 16:10 monitor, such slight differences aren't that bad, but 4:3 stretched to 16: …

Re: 2 Gravis Gamepads Possible?
Posted on 2020-10-29, 18:41
there are only 4 digital inputs for buttons on a gameport. the gravis gamepad probably uses the analog X/Y inputs for the dpad and the 4 buttons for well the buttons, there are 2x analog X/Y inputs on the gameport, hence why the dpad on the second gamepad works probably. for using two of them you'd …

I just got these: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/image … _AC_SL1500_.jpg they're pretty cheap and sturdy. got two of them for €25 iirc. the alluminium extrusion approach is nice too, I was wanting to do that but opted to cheap out and just get those monitor stands ^^

I've found that the global shipping program rates have usually been cheaper on the other hand... though I'd still advise anyone to be careful of them as they like repackaging things in completely inadequate packaging to save on shipping. I've had a US seller once ask me to double up on shipping …
