Re: Weird Win98 BSOD during install

Posted on 2021-08-02, 23:25

Dead or dying CMOS battery? A low voltage there may cause strange behaviour... That would have been my first guess but it's a fresh new one. RAM seems to be okay as per Memtest, no bulging capacitors... Also tried an older BIOS (1.30 in this case), no change. Hard Drive was acting strange, it has a …

Well I went on with the PATCHMEM thingy and now while the Date and time part came, it did show the year as 80 and it BSODd but the installation went on anyway just after pressing Enter. However, after completing the installation and rebooting, I get a Windows protection error now. I might just scrap …

failing capacitors ? Not that I'm able to see with my bare eyes, at least. Sadly I gave away most of my old stuff so I can't test with a smaller RAM module or another HDD. What I don't remember is if it's related to the BIOS version. But I don't have an EEPROM flasher available to downgrade it, not …

Weird Win98 BSOD during install

Posted on 2021-08-01, 12:27

Hello! I was trying to reinstall Win98 on my junkbox (signature) and everything goes normal up to the point it asks you the time/date. First of all, it reports the year as "80", though sometimes it reports it correctly. That doesn't change a thing however, and I had that "80" problem before in …

Re: VIA 1617A under DOS

Posted on 2020-03-09, 03:20

So far from my tests only Shadow Warrior worked right off the bat. Other games I've tried: Dark Forces - No cards detected, nor does it work with a manual set up. Ignition - CD Audio works, but no SFX. Has a Windows version that works, regardless. Will tinker a bit more tomorrow. EDIT: Ended up …

VIA 1617A under DOS

Posted on 2020-03-09, 01:06

Hello, I have an ASrock K7VM3 with the via KM266Pro chipset. Was trying to get sound working in DOS from Windows, but so far only Shadow Warrior worked right off the bat, as it "recognized" my soundcard as a Sound Blaster Pro. I tried setting SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 H1 P330 T6 in AUTOEXEC.BAT but it …

Re: MDK with dgVodoo

Yeah, well, I mean, use my native 1600x900 resolution, but with "black bars" so the aspect ratio will be 4:3 as the original game resolution. The option is there, "Preserve aspect ratio", but I cannot use it. I remember using it in the past but I don't remember how 🙁

MDK with dgVodoo

Posted on 2011-04-01, 16:34

Hi, well, actually I didn't have any critical problem with it, the game runs off the bat with the default settings, I just wanted to know if there is a way in dgvoodoo to force the aspect ratio to 4:3 and use my native lcd resolution (which is 16:9) so the game won't stretch out. I know there is a …
