Not definitively, DX is for win9x, it was written from scratch, with 32bit code, and there is no way to convert it to 16 bits. I believe that even if I rewrote in 16 bits, there would be no resources to execute the code. This possibility has already been discussed in other forums. In fact WinG, it …

I don't usually mix things up, I run old games, on old machines with old operating systems ... Windows 10, nothing will run 16bit, I prefer to play in the original configuration (yes, there are many modified games on GoG that allow you to play on modern systems, with dosbox or other types of …

I have programmed for the more distant future, two additional versions: One for very old Computers (386, 486) and another for a little more modern ones (xp era, P2 400, P3, P4). The version for older machines will come before the version for more modern machines. Windows 95 may be a bit much for a …

Exactly. I worked with computers and cars, it is amazing how the knowledge of one is applicable to the other, even though they are different things.

I have a core2quad, it's a 486 66mhz and it's laggy. I've had an i3 7100, with 16gb ddr4 in the past, and Pentium 75mhz was my maximum. Most win9x games that I play / like, require at least a Pentium 166mhz and some 3d video acceleration, this would result in something close to a Ryzen 5 3600, which …

I would recommend you to buy another 1750, even if it is damaged, but it has the caddy. You will pay the same price as the caddy, but you will have spare parts, which are every day, but rare and expensive.

0. For people who like windows and don't NEED a manager, there is simply no reason to be interested in my project! They are old computer users who already know how to do everything on an old computer, and have time to make everything work, there is no need for a frontend.An example that happens to …

Thank you for answering me. I have had some experience optimizing these systems manually. I provided maintenance on digital totems, and digital arcade toys and amusement parks. But every time, I created optimizations for a single system, a single machine, a single configuration... I have some old …

excellent, ATI Rage, is perfect for games of that time. If you want to pan the internet, there are accessories for this model, some compatible dockstations / port replicators have been launched. One that comes to mind, is the Armada Convenience Base II with USB, Monitor Stand-Conversion Kit. There …

I have always missed a good game manager for my old computers. Formatting and reinstalling my favorite games is a lot of work, in ms-dos games I have to configure the correct sound card for each of them, create icons on the desktop and then (for my taste) look for icons for games that do not have it …

The connector is proprietary, but many companies from that time use it. I had several 1750. Did you get it with a big screen or a small screen? There are several versions of it. The ideal is with an 8MB ATI video card, you recognize it, because on the right side, there is a video output connector …

It depends on what you want to build. If it is not something very radical, there are 1001 "RAD" programs to build a certain type of application. I will not remember names at this time, but for example, there are RAD programs to build menu programs for dos, it has a similar appearance to the setsound …

This video card is too modern, and this game is full of hardcoded lines with performance stuff. I've already played this game at 20fps on a celeron m480 with Sis Mirage or something, and the performance, even at lowest, was playable. In your configuration, this is totally out of the ordinary. Try …

No voodoo will go well with a core2duo. The ideal would be a Pentium II or III, with a maximum of 256mb of ram and win98 for voodoo games Another build, for 2001 - 2005 games, in a pentium 4 configuration w/ Win 2k/XP. And finally your current core2duo for 2006 - 2010 games w/ Win7.

I don't particularly recommend DOS 7 for win3.xx. Its best path is 6.22 + win 3.x One was built to be compatible with the other, it works perfectly. Dos 7 is unstable with win 3.x, occasionally you will experience this kind of problem, silly things happen all of a sudden.

First of all, yes, I know that there are other topics with this title, I have read them, but my case is not so simple. I am developing something similar to Launchbox, to manage the games of our old computers, this program will bring countless functions that will make our life easier, one of these …
