Alright, I just posted to Neo-Geo.com and AssemblerGames.com, hopefully someone there will know what this is. To get this answered, gotta (sadly?) go where the NeoGeo collectors are.

Pedantic (for misterjones): Splash screen logos can always possibly be fake, part of the game. Remember the "Powered by Nvidia" logos in mid 2000's games and what not. The only sure way to know you're running a Windows game that calls a proprietary 3D API that's pretty easy for most people to do is …

Really though -- what if, just what if, a group of dedicated individuals (such as myself) were to start a website just for this purpose? Yearly costs aren't much and the community could submit files and whatnot -- be closely tied to VOGONS; we could mirror drivers as well... The Internet Archive's …

I ended up having a couple of these cards, a while back, and at least have one, and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about it. Best to my knowledge it has a S3 Virge/GX chip. And I can easily obtain Windows 3.1 drivers for it. However I don't know how much VRAM it has, let alone what the …

My guess is that item was used in Pachi slot game. Like this http://www.neogeoforlife.com/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=1103 Timing doesn't seem right, the S3 Virge/GX dates from 1997, his card seems to be mfg. 1998... that specific pachislo dates from 2006. Unless you mean a 1997-era SNK …

Oh, I wasn't aware of the Driver site. Most likely someone mentioned it before and it slipped my mind. I'll add it there. I also found some drivers for a Serial Game Pad made by InterAct called the ProPad 6. I was unable to find the drivers for it online but was able to find the install floppy in …

I found the drivers on a floppy for a older InterAct ProPad 6 Serial gamepad. I also have the drivers for Gallant SC-4000. Are these worth it to be uploaded? Yes, please upload them, considering the only place you found them was DriverGuide. i think anyone here who searches for a driver and only …

[EDIT] Here's another, different SNK-branded card. Says it's made by Canopus. http://www.retropc.net/yasuma/V2/PC/GA/PCI/neo_ac_sys.html According to this page, these cards (S3 Vision 964-based, but it probably applies to your S3 Virge/GX card as well) were probably intended for development …
Re: Innovation SSI emulation
Posted on 2014-01-08, 18:53
It might be desirable to add support for the "Entertainer" , an early sound card by MicroProse that functions like an Innovation SSI at I/O address 0x280 but adds a simple autodetection functionality, the lack of which prevents Gunship and Pirates! from playing SID music under DosBox SVN. Adding …

Current thinking: "They either licensed their logo to someone else or they got someone to stick their logo on some cards to make some quick money." In other words, a simple PC upgrade kit. I'll wait to hear from my Japan contacts, but I don't think it's anything other than this. Still, perhaps a …

VGA out, S-Video out, RCA video in, RCA video out... audio in, audio out? Is that what I'm seeing? If so, that means the edge connector is likely a video/VESA …

There's at least one Virge/DX card out there that uses dual GPUs to support multiple monitors.

Right, disposable VMs were made for this sort of thing (getting it from Driverguide). Or perhaps a "sandbox" program like Sandboxie.

I usually pop in an old copy of Ultimate Boot CD, it usually has what I need. All DOS or Linux based tools. The HDD diagnostic tools have a mix - most are from the original manufacturer, some are hobbyist tools. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
