Any Idea why SIN stutters on my Celeron400/Voodoo3 with WickedGL drivers installed? Without WickedGL Drivers I can only use 640x480 and 800x600. I don't know why, but my machine should be fast enough to let it run smooth on 1024x768.

What about the 128K dedicated to tandy-video. Originally 16K are needed vor CGA right? Can/Should I use the other for a RAM-Disk or anything else?

The Board has these limitations: - PII Slot1 up to 333/66 - Celeron Slot1 up to 433/66 - Celeron S370 with slotket up to 533/66 - No FSB 100/133, no PIII I currently use a slot celeron 400/66 because it's passive and silent. The s370-slotket is ugly noisy and instable (mounting)

http://www.speedguide.net/articles/windows-9x-tweaks-170 During setup Win98 will remove some drivers from your Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files. Unfortunately it removes EMM386 for Win98's first time use so it can detect hardware without problems but forgets to "un-REM it". I have added "emm386.exe …

"Archimedian Dynasty" works great with Win98se an Voodoo3 + Voodoo1. I have copied the old Diamond-V1-Drivers in the Game Directory and use "Deamon-Tools" to mount the CD.

UK-Model = 220 Volts 😀 => No Tandy-Market in Germany, but a (perhaps) small one in the UK. The Tandy Monitor is a CM8833, did not knew that! so it can display EGA Lowres? that's cool. A TL/2/3 could possible be a really good alternative for low-end PC-Gaming.

Interesting thread. My old Retro-PC has Win98se with IE5.5. Some old Websites still work with this combination, but mostly the Webbroweser hangs up and needs to be quitted external through the task-manager. Currently I use an old 3.1.4 Version of McAfee Virus Scan. The Scan Engine and the Vir-Def is …

OK, now we're getting somewhere!

Yesterday I changed the PII-333 to a Celeron 400. The Benches show, that the Celeron is faster. (About 10-20% depending what application/game) I'll go for the fastest slot-celeron 433, but it's not easy to get. The maximal CPU for my board is the celeron 533/S370 with Slotket-Adapter. Perhaps this …

Argh! really difficult. I can't reproduce the working audio cd-tracks. Actually it does not work, but it worked earlier. What I can say is that when I mount the Mixed-Mode CD from Outcast (CD2) that includes the Audio-Tracks and start the Game I can hear no Audio-CD playback. BUT! when I press "ctrl …

The Basic install is the same. It works with that. If I do a clean install with all the same drivers it does not work. The game the image the deamon-tools, everything is the same. there must be any software or drivers that provides audio-cd support, but I did not found out, what software/driver does …
