Feedback is always well received. I had done some other stuff back in the day but nothing to this extend as this one. I was just a high school after all. I also made a few original compression stuff maybe, but zip was always better. I might do more games in the future, I have a few ideas.

This is a Retro DOS game that I wrote nearly 20 Year ago! This is the classic kids game Hangman on steroids. It is written using Borlands Turbo Pascal. Should be compatible with most retro systems. This is released today for the first time (20 years anniversary edition). It includes bug-fixes, …

Yes, however the next Bus step is 133 MHz. There it was unstable even with the L3 disabled. I only managed to boot into Windows once. There is still a chance that the problem is with the IDE controller. I have to check this again in the future.

This is strange, my boards are completely stable. I have even pushed it to 124MHz in the video. Also sold two of these and so far no complains.

Yep, as a diagnostic card it is more comfortable this way. This is not something you will have plugged all the time.

So what happened to this one? Did you get a chance to test this? I very interested creating something similar or coping this one.

The best I have posted in a video right now is 2.4 FPS for Quake. I got this using an am386dx overclocked to 49.15MHz and 0WS memory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv9LVhlo7EM Now I have already broken my record and got 2.5 FPS. I will discus the details on my next video. This looks like the limit …

My 386 FPU collection is very basic compared to what I see here. I have 4 of them, so I tested them and did this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv9LVhlo7EM The extra thing here is that I also tried some Overclock here... Enjoy.

Hi Fenyo, Yea, both tag chips are needed to be active, I explain this in my videos. I have tested many of these boards with the 1MB cache and the resistor mod. Having done multiple hours of testing, I can say this confidence... I did not notice any stability problems under windows 98 or XP. And that …

I wanted to test these adapters. I do not have one, should work. There is some latency for sure. I need also more experience with 486 M/Bs. My 486 default does 0WS with 60ns modules. Need to clock mode this too :p

Yes exactly next goal is to make Simm-72s with these chips. These will again be fast, but this is only possible at low capacities. So probably 45ns, max 8MB per Simm module.

If you mean 4 x 4M = 16MB. As I said in the video. I will try to remake the 16MB ones and make more pieces this time. The only problem is that I do not know the batch of the chips I will get will be. Most top at 46-47 MHz with 0 WS. I can only guaranty this for the 16MB ones. I always try to do the …

Yep and easy to build and test. That is why these modules are cheaper. The only thing missing is the parity function.
