Re: nostalgia midlife crisis

My kids are around age 25-30, nowadays they either have old consoles or mostly emulators for various Nintedo/Sony/Dreamcast. Some buy or otherwise obtain old PC games on steam or whatever (not gog so much). But they have zero interest in my old computing gear, even when it was stuff they played on …

Re: The PC parts market is weird sometimes

We are in the process of a big clear-out before moving internationally. Coming back to AU? I did a big clear out recently because we moved interstate - probs 90% of my collection sold off / given away. It felt great to clear out all of that stuff and no regrets with my decisions... yet. All the …

Re: DOS Glide 2.4x Mod for Voodoo2

Hey, Gmlb. Seems like I spoke too soon. I managed to install your hacked OVL driver and gave the game another go. I dialed the FSB down to 100 and 133 and the game works a treat. My specs are the ones on my second cpu-z verification sig. I have yet to see a fatal crash with this driver. It will also …

Re: Issues with some games on a Voodoo 3

Also, note that static linked Glide games I'm not well versed in glide. How can I check if a game is static linked? Those are DOS games that doesn't require an external GLIDE2X.OVL file to run. Additional note that isn't yet mentioned on this thread: Earlier Windows games that uses the Glide …

Re: DOS Glide 2.4x Mod for Voodoo2

Hiya guys. I have a Quantum3D 200SBi (Voodoo2 SLI on a single pcb) and apparently the card is hardwired to have SLI always ON. Some games like Screamer 2 3Dfx will constantly refuse to run unless I can set SST_SLIDETECT= to 0 (only on vanilla V2 cards). Others though, like Carma 3Dfx (with the …

Re: 3d accelerators on other platforms not PC

Given Namco's earlier very capable and very fast Namco System 22 hardware I doubt they'd license PowerVR PCX1 up for 23 especially as that chip can barely pull 30fps. Even MAME doesn't mention any PowerVR involvement for their source in that. If you do think it's PowerVR though, try to get a still …

Re: Unreal 1.0 crashes on VooDoo 3

Sorry, I Not have Win98, because it is not need. I wonder why People buy extreme Rare and expensive Win98 Hardware, when all this Games also work on XP with cheap Hardware. WinXP's NT-based, and NT wasn't a support focus for many of those games in the 90s as that was primarily a business …

Re: When PC became soulless for you?

Companies and shareholders try to bet their money on where they think most people are heading towards. If they see people buying gimped graphics cards full of rgb lights at 1249 usd then the company will divert some of their resources into perfecting the sales strategy that made the 1249 usd card …
