Actually....yeah, 9600 most definitely won't work, since it was meant for at least AGP 4x, hence different signalling levels. Shucks, I've already ordered it 😒 Will have to find an alternative

Yeah, it won't even physically fit in the slot (duh). I guess we really need a Google sheet with compatible cards for the Llama 😀

I doubt the 9600pro will work, I tried a Connect 3d 9550 Universal AGP and it didn't work. Highest I've been able to run is R200/RV280

Technically, R300-based cards like Radeon 9500, Radeon 9600 TX, and Radeon 9700 series should work as well, since they have 3V3 support, but I'm not willing to spend money just to find out...Would be lovely if someone would test that.

Completely missed that there is already a compatibility matrix page for that https://t3hbeowulf.github.io/tinyllama-docs/i … atrix/#graphics

Can anyone tell me if this emulates an old school chipset from the mid 90's? Some programs expect a familiar chipset, like 440BX or such.

Programs like what? Please provide a list of examples so I can test them for you! 😀

QEMM386, 386Max or UMBPCI. Heck, even Memmaker! What does the <1Mb memory look like?

I have yet to find a reason to use any of those.

You have yet to have a reason to put any device drivers in high memory to get above 600K or so?

In my case, there is already 604K of free conventional memory.

I think you missed the point. Programs like QEMM386 are the acid test for DOS compatibility. Was curious.

Just stumbled upon this project and i love it.
I tried to preorder on retrodreams.ca but there seems to be no way.
I guess the preorder phase is over? Is there a way to still get one?

Hi there, we had to stop receiving preorders because we wanted to submit the big factory order.

That being said, there is a potential for batch3, you can either subscribe to our newsletter and/or join our Discord so I can add you to the waitlist! 😀

Has anyone tried a Hercules prophet Kyro 4500 on the ITX Llama?

I will let you know soon. I have a Hercules prophet Kyro 4500 on its way.

Did Kyro 4500 work out for you?

Guess I just missed on the next batch buy... 🙁

Any idea when the following one will be available?

Thanks

I don't see what the fuss is about with this, assuming one is interested in DOS gaming and demo watching. Sound support is going to be a big problem (as reports already demonstrate) and there's no ISA slot to compensate. I'd bet that most DOS demos will either not have sound or have serious sound issues. Also forget about software that's optimized for GUS. Shame really.

lols, did you seriously dedicate your first post here on this forum to trashtalk something you're under no obligation to neither buy nor even look at? That's some hard core trolling spirit, congrats to you! I hereby give you the First Prize for Most Unnecessary Comment. You've earned it! 😁

Very interesting to see that your first post is to bash someone else work!

At any rate, we have so far tested something like 200 games or so in the past couple of months and have gotten good results. I guess I will have to dedicate a lot of time to get these documented to avoid people like you making such claims. Roughly speaking, anything that works with Soundblaster Pro 2.0, Adlib or WSS should work with this Crystal chip. Obviously, nobody is expecting that not every single MS-DOS game (I think there are over 8k of them!) will run on this machine, but the same can be said for just about any other x86 machine, good luck finding such a purple unicorn if you think otherwise! 😀

As for demos, most of these are finicky and require particular CPUs, sound cards, and video cards, to work optimally since they were developed for them. That being said, I have so far tested about 25 working demos. I am not going to test every demo in existence 😀
