Got to another game that gives me issues during install :( It will not recognize Disk 2 in the physical drive or as an image with imgmount. The disks work fine in another emulator, and the game runs (though very poorly.) I tried copying the install directory (before running it after install,) but it …

I didn't know that... It used to be, I had to do that for it to recognize a disk change (CD or FLoppy) in a physical drive. Or so I thought. Maybe it's just images (I always make images of CD's as they are much faster.)

Thanks :) All I needed to do was mount my floppy drive as something other than A: or B: and it worked just fine. Small issue with Disk 2, but a bit of patience and a blank floppy got me past that eventually (old media.) Also remembering to use -F4 after every disk change to update the drive was all …

Found a set of Master of Magic disks and thought I'd give it a try. I cannot even get the install started. All I get is the message "You have specified a drive that doesn't physically exist!" I've tried mounting my A drive as drive A:, I've tried making floppy images and mounting those. I've tried …

Sorry, I totally missed the MediaFire link :( I thought I had checked. I know I scrolled through the last 4 pages of messages to see if a mirror link had been posted. All that being said. After downloading them again, and going through to organize them, I found my old archive - which is up to date. …

So, it seems to be the chipset and the card probably isn't bad. That's good to know. I've settled on a TNT2 M64 to replace the dead card. It seems to be working fine, haven't tested absolutely everything i have, of course, but haven't faced any problems yet.

The game in the picture is "Strip Poker Professional" by Artworx. The image is supposed to be a standard 640x480x8 image. At least, that's what the TNT2 produces at this point. But other games (Blood, and not the 3dfx version,) at 640x480 seem to run just fine. IIRC there were other games that had …

Only, that's booting directly to DOS 6.22 then going straight to the game. Been trying out different VESA patches (UniVBE doesn't recognize it as a supported chipset.) Keeps crashing during testing. My Riva TNT2 is also not recognized as a valid chipset (and it's actually in the supported list.) I'm …

I'm not loading a driver. Not in a position to change the card's BIOS either. I did try loading several VESA patches, but none worked 🙁

Below is a picture of what its doing. I was really looking for the most advanced AGP card that would still work fully in Windows 3.1, but I also want the my DOS games to work as well. As you can see, it looks like the picture was just shown in the top quarter of the screen in pieces. I'm hoping this …

Gosh, that does not mean that Blood uses EMS memory. I never said it did. I just said it tests it, if its there, for some reason. Trying to get my compatibility system back up and running, and if I succeed, I'll do more testing. But it definitely complained about not enough EMS when I had it …

Blood needs 53 MiB of RAM and always uses EMS if an EMS manager is active. The trouble is - EMM386 emulates 32 MiB EMS. Or less. Run Blood with the XMS only setup (the NOEMS option for EMM386.EXE). That's wrong information. Blood is a DOS/4GW game, it runs in 32-bit protected mode using DOS …

With my tremors, no way I could do that, and Waco doesn't appear to have any form of workshop that does that kind of work 🙁 A couple of place have someone willing to do soldering work, but only basic stuff.

Some of the magic smoke escaped from my MB :( In looking for a board that has an i82371 or i82801 southbridge (for SMB.exe,) as well as all the other requirements to get my system back up & running, I came across a FIC VB-601. Does anyone know how it responds to the PL-iP3T adapter and a Celeron …

I was listing 2x as the lowest I saw for all processors, not just Intel. I believe the 2x I saw was a K6? It was an AMD. I remember it could do 2x - ?x (don't remember the upper limit off hand,) in 0.5x increments, "not" including 2.5x for some reason.

An unlocked intel PII/III still does not support changing the Multiplier with software, except for mobiles with speedstep, as already mentioned. But speedstep in that generation does not mean that the multipliers you want will be available. For example: the Mobile Pentium III 600 with speedstep …

You can use my little program called SSTEP under DOS to set multiplier on Pentium chips that already support speedstep: http://falcosoft.hu/dos_softwares.html#sstep On the AMD side I have also multiplier adjusting DOS programs for Athlon 4 mobile/Athlon64/Turion64 and Phenom I/II processors: …
