Re: Voodoo 3 3000 LC PCI woes

Posted on 2022-03-08, 21:06

Two actually. Number one is I play some Glide games on this machine 0 namely Pandemonium, GLQuake, Carmageddon and Descent 1/2 with the 3dfx patches. Pandemonium won't work on a Voodoo3. And GL Quake is not a Glide game. It can be played on any card that has OpenGL support. I don't remember if …

Re: Installing DOS drivers on an Audigy2 ZS

Posted on 2022-03-08, 09:25

By the way, what's the limit we can push the Audigy 2 ZS in terms of soundfont size? From what I gather, the maximum cache size that you can set in Creative's SoundFont Bank Manager is limited to a certain percentage your system RAM. I haven't personally pushed it past 250 MB, but I remember that …

Re: Freedos 1.3

I was pretty impressed by what I saw in Phil's video. Compatibility seems much better now. That said, it's unlikely that I will step away from MS-DOS 6.22 in favor of this, mostly because of nostalgia. But it's certainly nice to have an alternative available. I can also see a use case for people who …

Yare yare daze jiji, that's a really huge tutorial. Here's the gist of it in Linux commands, so someone like me who prepares stuff for FreeDOS can make do without Windows. Well, us old folks do like to ramble on sometime. :D On that note, I'll be updating the guide soon to include some of …

Re: Installing DOS drivers on an Audigy2 ZS

I've tried following this guide but for Windows ME. It got as far as installing the VxD drivers and enabling the legacy sb16 emulation in device manager with the registry key, but I cannot install the dos drivers. While I have never intended for this guide to be used under WinME due to its inherent …

Re: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

Posted on 2022-03-06, 09:24

You can try forcing the driver by choosing "9500 series". I would like to see the results for fog table and 8-bit texturing, if it works. I was unable to force the 4.3 driver on my 9550 card so I switched over to my 9000 Pro which works fine with those drivers + the fog registry tweak. …

Re: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

Would you keep the 4.3 driver in mind when you make your comparisons? Or confirm whether the bug exists for you? I think the 9550 card that I'm currently using might be too new for 4.3 drivers. For what it's worth, it doesn't have any graphical corruption using 6.2 drivers on the 3D Mark 99 bump …

Re: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

Just found another instance where Catalyst 7.11 drivers are superior to 6.2 drivers + registry tweak. Star_Wars_Fog.jpg Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire correctly renders table fog on the ATi card when Catalyst 7.11 drivers are used . However, using 6.2 drivers together with the fog registry tweak …

While working on a socket 754 build, I was using an ATi 9550 card so I thought I'd do a quick table fog and paletted texture test under WinXP. Some interesting results here. Graphics cards tested: Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 using Nvidia reference drivers version 40.72 ATi Radeon 9550 using Catalyst …

Re: MSI K8T NEO-V + Athlon 64 - very slow 3D performance in Windows 98 (works great in Windows XP)

Posted on 2022-03-04, 14:54

Yeah, figured that would be the case... I did notice one difference under Win9x. With the newest BIOS, dxdiag reported "AGP Texture Acceleration" as "Not Available". But with the oldest BIOS, it is now correctly reported as "Enabled". DX9_Win98.jpg Under WinXP, this setting was reported as "Enabled …

Re: MSI K8T NEO-V + Athlon 64 - very slow 3D performance in Windows 98 (works great in Windows XP)

Posted on 2022-03-04, 13:28

This board is fairly sparse with its settings, and I don't see any obvious differences on the AGP sub screen. For what it's worth, I always loaded the BIOS defaults after flashing and only changed a few unrelated things like boot order and SATA configuration. Since both the new and the old BIOS used …
