Between now and my original post, someone actually answered my question on a different post, on whether the southbridge can be enabled via software due to missing BIOS option. For those looking, see here: VIASBCFG - VIA SBPro configuration tool for VIA VT8231 & VT82C686/A/B chipsets (v0.12d)

If it's of interest: Tested under Windows 98SE, with a Radeon 7000 w/ final drivers from ATI, DirectX 8.2. Winquake-X and Winquake-Y both have distortion issues. (see attached). Winquake-Z works okay (aside from lowish framerate), but the mouse pointer won't move from the center of the screen after …

If it's of interest. I get a BSOD with MD5 (cpuz_w9x.exe) = 0c391b3bd686147c602c6afe4429361f: A fatal exception 0D has occurred at 0028:C1BB31C6 in VXD CVXDSAMP(01) + 000001C6. Windows 98SE on one of these: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hp/t5710/

Windows 98SE running on one of these thin clients: https://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/hp/t5710/ w/ PCI Yamaha DS-XG 724F-V. I'm also using a sintechi SD card adapter for a hard drive.

Just as a note for others who find this thread: After installing the aforementioned driver 6-2_wme_dd_cp_30314.exe, games will still fail to detect a Direct3D device. You must install DX7: 7.0_directx7.exe - games then detect the Direct3D device! No more software rendering.

which drivers are you using out of interest? I tried https://www.philscomputerlab.com/uploads/3/7/2/3/37231621/r393_logo__graphics_.zip from https://www.philscomputerlab.com/hp-t5720.html - but I'm getting a protection fault on startup when windows is loading. Edit: I uninstalled them, rebooted, usb …

I’d look close at some of the following clients: hp t5710 (800 MHz version) , Wyse WT941GXL, or Wyse WT9450XE. Those are all via chipsets where the onboard audio has dos support. The hp t5710 I have does not have onboard audio w/ dos support: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=68786 - I …

After seeing PhilsComputerLab video on this youtube.com/watch?v=qX2_dm9or0Q - I decided to pick up one to get back into DOS gaming and programming. I wasn't able to boot msdos from straight up USB (non-system disk error or whatever) (using rufus from Windows XP in vbox), but FreeDOS 1.2 booted and …

Thank you. In 1978 I bought a book with one of the first CD's with multi-media. Murmurs of Earth was about the content of the disk that is flying on the Voyager spacecraft. Couldn't have been 1978 since the CD-ROM version was introduced in 1992. You can't mount golden records in dosbox. more …

Try to keep it civil. I'm only stating the facts.

DosFreak, maybe you should read what Garatt said "There aren't many games listed, but on the plus side there's no doubt about the legality." There is obvious doubt about the legality when it explicitly tells you to get a lawyer!

an example? i just clicked on the first game on the homepage, sam and max. last time I checked the site about a year ago there were many others that had this same statement - how is it different from abandonware?

liberatedgames.org doesn't look very legitimate to me, infact it looks very iffy. A lot of the entries just say "the license on these files is unclear." "Your best option for a precise answer is to retain an attorney."

ah ha.. i didn't think to click those... thanks Qbix!

hi either i'm suffering from some sort of brain damage or it's not working, but how can I assign some points to whatever field so I can proceed to the next step here? clicking on the big add bonus points button does nothing
