I'm looking to use VESA video modes, not VAFC, if that's what you mean.
How to Enable the Feature Connector on my S3 Trio3D
Posted on 2024-03-02, 21:04
Hey folks. In an effort to improve the performance of games on my VFX1, I'm trying to find a better GPU than my current Trio64. While working with an APAC ST300A (S3 Trio3D chipset), I noticed some promising specs, but I cannot seem to verify if the feature connector on the card is actually enabled. …

did a casual stream covering some of my discoveries Some helpful stuff in there for when I finally get around to setting up my own kit. I'd appreciate a ping whenever you do another one. A Twitch user asked about the cards you tested for compatibility and you gave them a list in Discord. Was it the …

I fabricated a new head pad for the VFX-1. Used some leftover foam material from my kids' puzzle playmats, some vinyl wrap, and some velcro to get the job done. The headset stays nice and firm on my noggin now. I also did a casual stream covering some of my discoveries with using and configuring the …

For the ear pads, I bought the following: https://www.brainwavzaudio.com/products/headphone-memory-foam-earpads-xl-sheepskin Any round ear pads with those measurements will do. Things to note: - The ear pads are clip attached to the headset's audio drivers. You should be able to rotate the ear pads …

The pads look pretty good attached to the drivers, but the drivers were also glued onto the headset and that glue is LONG gone. So now I'm trying some JB Weld to reattach the drivers to the headset. Right now, it's just gonna take some time. Later tonight I'll post some findings on software setup …

So I've returned to working on my VFX-1! A couple of notes: - Tried the S3 Virge. Didn't work great. I went back to the ARK Logic PCI card. Output clarity is REALLY nice. I did change my rig however ... - The desktop I am using now is a Socket 7 system with the ARK Logic, a Voodoo 1, a K6 @ 200mhz, …

Had some more luck. While I have not identified the exact issues with certain video cards and feature connectors with the VFX-1, I did find the following "Supported Video Cards" reference on archive.org: https://web.archive.org/web/20010204120500/http://iisvr.com/99iis/techsupport/vfx1/vidcard.htm …

Some updates on troubleshooting my VFX-1 setup. Upon trying the Matrox Millennium 1 and Mystique 220 (2mb), I have found similar results where resolutions at 320x200 mono in DOS applications display in the headset, but other higher resolutions (some when using a stereo display mode) show blank …

Trying to set up the greatest VFX-1 Rig
Posted on 2022-10-26, 20:35
Hey folks. So for the past couple weeks, I've been putting together a Pentium 3 system that's meant to switch between a dedicated AGP card (in this case, a Voodoo 3) and a PCI card setup for the VFX-1 and Voodoo 1 via Hardware Profiles. I have had a good deal of success so far, but now am running …
Anyone ever hear of 3DMAN by Steve Perrigo?
Posted on 2019-04-29, 06:37
While going through my Magic Eye multimedia cdrom on Windows the other day, I noticed an entry in its "Stereogram-related shareware suggestions" from 1994 called 3DMAN by Steve Perrigo (I believe). This was based on a screenshot on the cdrom. The game apparently used animated stereograms to create a …
Re: How do I setup sound card for Earthseige?
Posted on 2017-08-22, 13:39
Heh, thanks for the advice sf78. That got me thinking about looking at my sound settings again and noticed Earthseige was looking at DMA channel 1 when I set WSS to DMA channel 0. While this does not solve how to get Sound Blaster specific settings setup on Earthseige, I do now have sound via WSS. …
Re: VGA Capture Thread
Posted on 2017-08-21, 06:24
I just spent a good deal of today trying to figure out how to capture VGA-standard video signals (320 x 200) with my USB3HDCAP. What I found out so far: without other equipment, the USB3HDCAP will receive a signal, though the resolution of that signal as reported by the capture device is not …
How do I setup sound card for Earthseige?
Posted on 2017-08-21, 05:51
Hey guys, I have been hitting my head against the wall about this and need some help. I am currently trying to configure Earthseige via SOUNDSET.EXE in MS-DOS mode in Windows 98SE. To my understanding, SOUNDSET only auto-detects sound settings. While I would expect my Sound Blaster settings to be …

Hey guys. I've been trying to find a copy of the source code for Team 47 GoMAN in hopes of being able to get the game to work on something beyond a Windows 95 machine. While the source code was released some years ago ( http://web.archive.org/web/19990429231514/http://www.47-tek.com/source.htm ) the …
Re: Flicker issue with Road Rash '96 on Windows 98

@filipetolhuizen: Yah, I installed the latest Liveware drivers. Same result. I'm going to be changing to an ISA sound card for DOS applications, so this should not (in theory) be the issue. I've found a number of problems with Dos emulation and program compatibility with this particular Sound …
Re: Flicker issue with Road Rash '96 on Windows 98
Posted on 2012-11-16, 07:53
OK, figured out why Road Rash was locking up. When I'm using my Sound Blaster Live! (SB0200) (PCI) as the sound device, the game locks up. When I switched back to my on-board sound device, runs fine. So there you go: the Dell OEM Sound Blaster card sucks a lot. Doesn't emulate too well in Dos either …

Posted on 2012-11-14, 08:55
Good news is the flicker issue seems to be resolved. Now the game locks up every time I enter a race no matter what resolution the game is set at. So far I've tried disconnecting my Sidewinder 3d pro, rolling back the graphics drivers further (nvidia 29.42), and gone back to my 300 mhz processor. …

@filipetolhuizen: Just rolled back to the version 45.23 drivers for Win9x. Flicker issue resolved (solved my flicker problems and models poping in and out in X-Wing vs Tie fighter under 3D acceleration mode as well. WOOT!)! Still have the lock up issue with the 500 Mhz processor installed, but I'm …
