I am back on that PII/333 ...it had a G200 and I retested G450 AGP but it did not boot, so I went back and took out some S3 Savage cards... some don't boot either, but my Diamond A200 8MB did work, so I went for it. Now I am checking the drivers... https://web.archive.org/web/20090423064513/http:// …

256colors out of 262000 are really good indeed! But two things have to be considered: 1. If the artist uses software to create/draw the image it can be really good (depending on the artist of course) e.g. LAZUR /Demoscene 2. If it is a scanned or fotographed image it can be converted to a really …

It would be really nice for showcases to have some selfrunning demos from different games or scene-stuff to present machines with. For acorn SF3000 and Zarch are really nice.

If you ever come to a solution for the slightly to the right shifted image on the et4000 cards in lowres-vga 320x200 256colors compared to vga textmode 80x25 please let me know! Don't know if this is on CRT's too, on TFT's it's always. From the very early ET4000(AX) up to the very latest W32(i/p) …

Beside the "low-end" or "early pc-gaming" with Et4000 on 286/386 class cpu's there is also an issue with my et4000/w32 with the game alienbreed-tower assault . The game has a flickering texture about half of the screen...looks a bit like the ET4000 issue an the apogee ega games. There is no option/ …

I made an attempt to install 2.11 CD on my P60...but I can't get it right. The version that I got never loads the driver for the 2940uw controller where the external SCSI-CDROM is connected to. copying the installation files to harddisk (external fat16 logical partition) did not work in the first …

To my ears CQM sounds surprisingly good compared to OPL3. The CT1600 that has all green in your table produces "klicks" after each sample in Pitfall, I put the 4170 in it and thy are gone. What is that issue? If you need an example. https://youtu.be/DkI0mV29n2I?si=otS3wMDvqv_4Gy4y&t=2497

On my Houdini2 the game starts and works, but the sound is muted after a view seconds on the start-screen. There is no soundcard-setting. The houdini2 has a Vibra16s and a real OPL3.

It's always a thing how you define "the best"....best in terms of? the best card in my opinion is the card that offers a wide range of drivers for different os. for me it's not so important to have the fastest and the card with the most features. So I always tend to what you call "underdogs" like a …

Played the retail with -ragepro and the ragea.dll copied from another game. works really well, not so smooth like voodoo but it looks very good, only minor glitches in menu. try my favorite 82440.
