Is it GUS or GUS PnP support? 1 MB GUS classic with pat, like cubic Player or 16 MB with fff files and Effects?

You already wrote this. Since you noticed that Floppy does not support DMA any more when E000 is included then DMA when attributed as page frame won't work as well. Usually DMA stops working if the UMB is generated by Shadow RAM when the mainboard does not support DMA from Shadow RAM or if UMB is …

Thats simply because Dosbox returns as DSP version 4.5 which is <= 5.00 and thus does not apply for this issue.

Regarding Youtube it is probably good to know that it always encodes to YUV 4:2:0 and sets the colormatrix to BT709 (even if your uploaded video is flagged with BT601). If your source material is 1080p no additional chroma subsampling is done for this specific resolution. For the lower resolution …

The problem is a bit deeper: For SD video the default colormatrix for RGB to YUV is BT601, for higher resolution it is BT709. So when e.g. a player or Youtube presents you the yuv video and converts it back to RGB for the viewport the same color matrix should be used. Reality is that implementations …

Well the YUV version has the 'shadows' on every high contrast pixel change, such as on the white logo in the beginning. It also appears blurred at 1080p compared to the RGB version. You can see these issues much more pronounced if you choose e.g. a 1080p source with small black text on white …

I use in most of my old game machines a EWS64XL with a MIDI daughterboard and a GUS / GUS PnP /ArGUS in the same system. There is no TSR needed. There are three main points to consider: The most important thing for first putting in a EWS64XL is checking the resources with the EPROM tool and change …

I use libx264 but yuv420 drops off some quality in the source already. Well the thing is that if your capture card supports RGB you should probably encode with x264 in RGB colorspace as well. Though, if the target is youtube then one can convert to YUV as youtube uses YUV anyway. For low res RGB …

If you don't care about specific STB features just install the latest 3.41 NVidia drivers. If you want to got for the STB drivers then probably start with the 1.82.

Are somewhere some recommendation for S-Video Dos Recording? Dscaler has lots of setting. - in recording option is Height default is 1/2 - 720x288 is dunno why, there is YUY2 / RGB setting. If your capture computer is slower than an Athlon XP 2400+ you may consider to capture in half resolution. If …

As written in the first post, first install the regular 4.2.3 and then copy the 4.2.3a over. The patched version is no installer version, the driver did not change from 4.2.3 to 4.2.3a. If you still get some message about e.g. 'overlay not supported' switch to Direct3D surface (which should be …

OT: 32 bit applications can use only 32 bit encoders and 64 bit applications only 64 bit encoders. So 64 bit encoders will not appear as option in 32 bit software.

For PCI cards or newer a good way to go is checking the PCI Vendor and Device ID. This will not give you the manufacturer, but the exact chipset.

1) Its possible to check DOS VBIOS size / Vendor / Cardname, in Windows and Linux? If yes how? I know that you can make dump, but its i hope there is cleaner way.. Some video cards drivers replace the BIOS you have in Windows. So if you dump from Windows you get a different image. e.g. the driver …
