From the Battlezone FAQ: How Do I Get My FPS and Polygon Count? There should be a RENDER.cgf file or something like that in your Battlezone Directory. Open up the file and you should see a line like this: [Debug] ;TrackFPS = 1 //Display FPS and polygon count To get your frames per second and polygon …

A number of games needed it in order for mach64s or mach64 variants to work properly. Amtex released a patch for Royal Flush …

The drivers for the MS Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro do not have the same "not connected" issues due to the fact that they don't use the same software timing loop approach (thankfully). So if you are getting the "Not Connected" message, it has to be for some other reason. Might be a good idea to …

It's also worth noting that the MIDI electrical specification was apparently updated shortly after this thread started. The URL I linked to now points to a new specification that accommodates the transition from 5 to 3.3 volt signalling: http://www.midi.org/techspecs/ca33.pdf
