Re: Stick to Ti4200. Do I need voodoo 4500 PCI?

Posted on 2019-02-23, 18:30

Or use GeForce card with Zeckensack Glide wrapper. GeForce FX or newer is best for that but all GeForce cards will work. Ironically this seems to work better than Voodoo5 with some Glide games. Wheel of Time is somewhat glitchy and fugly with Voodoo 5 at times for example. Use UTGLR for Unreal, UT, …

Re: Strange Ensoniq Soundscape S3016-ODIE-A

Posted on 2019-02-22, 22:49

I think the COW chip is a PNP interface. Notice lack of jumpers for the PCM and synth port addresses. IIRC the Opus cards operate at a different port address that breaks some games' native Soundscape support if you can't reconfigure the address they look for. Instead of 534h they use something else. …

Re: Athlon/G400 hard lockup in Forsaken

Actually my thinking is AGP 2x isn't agreeing with the motherboard. This was a problem back then with various non Intel chipsets. Get the Matrox Technical Support Tweak Utility and try forcing AGP 1x. https://www.matrox.com/graphics/de/support/dr … s/ftp_util2.php

Re: Athlon vs Duron

but, I remember when I used some patch on early Skyrim from x87 to SSE2 (not the same as SSE obviously) it bumping performance from 24 to over 40fps in one bad spot with my E5200 I remember that too. Core 2 has really substantial SIMD throughput though so going from x87 to SSE2 should be exciting …

Re: Athlon vs Duron

Is there any real advantage to the Morgan core having SSE? Considering Steam no longer runs on WinXP that is not a consideration anymore.. Maybe certain Linux distributions will run on a Duron 1300 but not on an Athlon 1000? Do any games from 2000-2001 have SSE support? Offhand I know that …

Re: SBLive! VXD driver and direct sound issues

Posted on 2019-02-05, 00:51

Yes both Audigy and Live VXDs completely support DirectSound and DirectSound3D. Which version of DirectX? I suggest 7.0a with Win9x and VXD drivers. You also might want to use LiveWare 3 drivers. http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=780&menustate=43,36 VOGONSDrivers has a lot of useful …

Re: Odd Radeon Win9x Issue with DVI

Posted on 2019-01-31, 18:27

Yeah I've seen that behavior. The ATI BIOS works differently with the EDID than their drivers. You could try a EDID simulator. I have a DVI model from Startech. But they aren't cheap and I'm not sure if it will work. I had some funky problems with it and older ATI drivers. You may just want to live …

Re: Odd Radeon Win9x Issue with DVI

I'd try an older driver. 4.2 or 3.8 perhaps. Strange problem! I wonder if it's an EDID problem with the TV. Something that manifests with 98. I've also seen some behavior variation with ATI driver releases and how they interpret EDID data. Do you have any other DVI monitors to try?

Re: ATI Radeon 9700Pro vs 9800Pro

Posted on 2019-01-30, 22:53

Yeah I think the design was intentional. Maybe to protect the exposed die from heatsink impacts? The shim causes a gap, separating the die from the heatsink, and they used phase change compound that still conducts some heat with a gap. It was their first exposed die GPU on the desktop. If the chip …

Re: ATI Radeon 9700Pro vs 9800Pro

Posted on 2019-01-30, 03:25

The 9700 doesn't support trilinear filtering optimizations (aka brilinear) so its trilinear filtering is slightly higher quality (and more demanding for the chip). I'm not sure if it can be seen outside of synthetic tests though. 9600/9800 added this capability. 9800 also adds that F-Buffer stuff. …
