..and the new version! :) Uses only 128 bytes(!) of conventional\upper memory and combines border and noborder versions in one COM file! so read KEENFIX.TXT or use "/?" key for additional info ;) Thanks so much for this! I had an issue with DN2 and Bio Menace that seemed to cause the horizontal …

Pretty oldskool card arrived today. TsengLabs ET3000AF 8-bit ISA: No kidding! That card looks sweet. Please let us know how it goes~ Tried to track down a manual for the HT845ISA/1 motherboard I mentioned earlier. Here's a picture of it (from the seller, but I verified what I received is identical) …

Received the AsRock 775i65g r3.0. Works wonderfully in the mATX case. Dropped an E6700 in it and it works great. I applied Win98 USP3, and despite there being 2GB installed in the machine, Windows only shows ~875MB. *shrug* I am not really familiar with USP3, but I think you can edit the system.ini …

An amusing issue I'm having with DN2. Using FX 5700 via DVI on Win98. Any suggestions? It seems to be the only game so far that's done this. Filename 20160908_234046.jpg File size 2.86 MiB Views 173 views Filename 20160908_234108.jpg File size 3.3 MiB Views 173 views

This is a most excellent guide! I just got one of these working under Windows. Legacy and wavetable blocks both work wonderfully. I'm curious, though. The pinout of the PC/PCI header is known, but is there anywhere on the motherboard that we can tap into these signals? I'm assuming that these …

I looked for a micro-ATX 875P motherboard to play around with. That is a very limiting restriction, and it turns out that they end up typically being industrial boards. But I found a "P4CMX-01" motherboard. Information for this thing is rather scarce aside from the Corvalent source themselves, but …

By then pics and looking the southbridge size, this motherboard doesn't have the ICH5, rather the server variant of it (ICH5R though) which is the Intel 6300ESB which provides PCI-X slots as well. The 6300ESB despite begin designed for Xeon chipsets, it can be paried theorically with any chipset …

Hey folks. I realize this is a rather old topic, but the problem with white textures is due to the format not being compatible with newer graphics cards. That's why with older graphics cards you're able to see them. *Some* textures are still visible, though, so there must be some format we can use …

Simply have the GUS enabled. I think the program should auto-detect your GUS settings. There is no Setup utility from what I understand. If you still don't get anything, make sure the GUS is enabled in your DosBox configuration file.
