Does anyone know how to get DooM running in TempleOS?

You're saying I need to pull the CD-ROM drive, and there will be information printed on the case underneath? May be easier to pull the mobo. Get us some high res shots of front and back, so the next guy can have the info also :) I wasn’t able to find your mobo on ultimate retro so we can make a …

Standard wisdom is to get a new system running stable at stock settings first, before experimenting with all different settings and changes. In that vein, I'm slightly concerned at some of the arbitrary mucking around here - when it seems, from the thread history, that the thing has never really …

FWIW, Jazz Jackrabbit is working now without throwing the runtime 200 error. Also there is no information printed between the expansion slots on this board.

I'm not sure what information you are looking for on the motherboard. I took some photos just now when I opened it up to bring the FSB to 95 MHz. Now the BIOS is reporting an FSB of 95 with a CPU speed of 500. CPU-Z say that the FSB is 95 and the CPU is at 524MHz. If you give me more specific …

From the table we can extrapolate that J14=BF1 and that 1-2=BF signal high (corresponding jumper open on most motherboards) /2-3=BF signal low (corresponding jumper closed on most motherboards). As soon as we know all three BF jumpers we can set any multiplier supported by the K6-2. To figure out …

Oh man, Redneck Rampage just posted a Dos4GW error and crashed. That's never happened before. Jazz Jackrabbit is giving the runtime 200 error. Is there anything wrong with just patching it like I did for my Coppermine machine? The game worked fine at 400MHz on the K6-2. Maybe I will pick up a 2+ …

I have a Roland SC-880. It is the 19"rackmount unit. This is a full double GS module with a separate GM bank and CM64 emulation (also works for MT32 emulation). I have a full audio recording setup, so it would be trivial for me to get some high-quality FLACs bounced. I'm just glad that someone else …

Unfortunately, the manual only has jumper settings listed for 3x, 3.5x, and 4x. Does setmul only work on 'plus' model CPUs? Thank you for your responses. Here is the information that I have at hand from a PDF manual:

Which driver did you install? What game are you playing? Did you run the setup/config application for your game and configure your soundcard?

Hello everyone. I have a Compaq 5184 mini-tower with a SS7 motherboard and a K6-2 CPU. The system shipped with a 380MHz CPU, which I decided to upgrade to a 533MHz. Both regular K6-2s with the same rated voltages. The faster CPU went into the socket just fine, and the system boots and runs well. But …

I have no idea what the clock speed on my GPU is. I have the FSB running at 100MHz, which is faster than the 90 at which it was running when I received the system. That is the highest that the limited BIOS would allow me to set. The BIOS offers no real information, and CPU-Z just confirms the fact …

Hello everyone. I happen to have a K6_2 400Mhz machine, a Compaq, that has this SiS GPU integrated on an AGP bus. I think it is 2X AGP. I have 8MB of my main memory shared with the GPU. For 2D games, this GPU works GREAT in DOS. For 3D, it is not amazing. I am hooked up to a 640x480 monitor (27"), …
