Hi guys,

Did anyone manage to make Dyna Blaster work on a K6-2+?
I tried everything... running on Windows 98 DOS mode with/without expanded memory, multiplier 2x (200 Mhz), disable external cache from BIOS, disable l1 / l2 cache... still nothing. After all these modifications, I get 10 - 12 FPS in Superscape Benchmark, but Dyna still freezes (after the first level loads, the game does not respond to any keyboard input).

Tested with two ISA sound cards: Yamaha YMF719E-S, ESS AudioDrive ES1869F.
Sound actually works great with both cards.

Seems that my problem is similar to this: Dyna Blaster - joystick only works in menus (stops working in game)
Unfortunately no solution is listed on that thread 🙁

OK... So managed to find the issue. For some reason the controls were not working in game, until I finally switched to Player 2 keyboard in the config.
Now it's working properly.
