The higher emulated cpu clock, the slower it will be due to the dynarec, just wait for the new dynarec.

Are newer AMD cards bad for backwards compatibility?
Posted on 2019-01-17, 01:18
I've heard some negative things about RX 500 series performance in older games -- particularly DirectX 9. Does anyone have any experience with these cards?

My experience with GCN so far is that it has better legacy D3D compatibility than the HD series, which surprised me. Still not perfect though. Uncertain about the RX.

Do they run Tribes 1 at 10 FPS, sometimes less?

they happened to break DX9 games with some driver version but quickly fixed it again not long ago; in any case, the DX9 games that I tried on my 370 (7850) all worked OK, but it's a GCN 1.0 card which can even be used on XP, not sure how it goes for the newer stuff like Vega.

200Mhz MMX is very demanding. Try 166Mhz non MMX.

If anyone is interested, there are a bunch of cheap Athlon XP-M cpus for sale on a certain auction site, apparently ripped out of Acer laptops (no affiliation). They are actually quite expensive otherwise.

I'm getting strange results from PIII-600 Katmai, I can disable L2 cache in BIOS (no L1 option), Topbench drops from 453 to 69, and that's ok. But with SetMul disabling L2 via L2D I see no effect in speed. And after disabling L1 with L2 "enabled" I'm getting same 69 result. So, L1E L2E = 453, L1E …

I'm getting strange results from PIII-600 Katmai... What Falcosoft said. Also I recommend downloading the SpeedSys 4.78 program. It gives cache measurements in the bottom-right graph, and that helps to understand which caches are actually working. (24-7-2017) Been playing with a 5x86 build, the …

What I don't get is that there is only one clkmul pin on the CPU and thus only one clkmul pin on the motherboard. So with that one pin you can do a few things: Connect it to voltage or connect it to ground (and sometimes leaving it floating does something different). I don't know of any additional …

whoa! this is great! Thank you Darry! But now I stumbled over another problem: 1Mbit OTPROMS in DIL-32 package seem to be getting scarce, apparently approaching $25 each on ebay. I guess I will have to get an eprom burner, to avoid BIOS experimenting getting too costly. When I got one, I'll test …
