Re: P2B With AGP Issues

Yep, I've also problems with my ASUS P2B and a Geforce 2 GTS. They all disappear when I install a Voodoo3 or a simple S3 agp card... But I want the GTS there...

I have this specific motherboard with E6500k and an HD3850/512. Some very late games are actually cpu limited!! When you overclock it, you lose speedstep, which kinda hits my OCD :p

Better chance to find an old desktop board with everything integrated. Or some el cheapo of the past 😁

Exactly that. So the problems were under Vista, not the DX10 cards to blame. 😉

Graphics card My choice: 7800 or 7900 GTX. This was a tough one. I wanted a DirectX9 card because DX10 cards "emulated" DX9 causing some performance issues for DX9 games not to mention graphical glitches in some games. Can you give any specific example on this? Because I'm well aware that there are …
Re: Cannot get Gravis Gamepad Pro to work with Windows 98SE!

Thank you for your answers. I don't have any other sound cards installed in that machine and I don't want to install any other. Maybe I should try one for test, but I think it'll be alright, as is in the other machine. I also don't have another gameport gamepad, so I can't really test the …

Anyone please help? 😢 Should I install SB Pro2 drivers? But everything I find is floppies for DOS... But in the device manager there is a gameport showing up with no exclamation marks.

Many applications need hacks to install on server OS though.

If you think about it, something with a Core i3 (sandy/ivy) / 4-8GB RAM / Nvidia GTX770-950 / SB Audigy2ZS with XP 32bit and 7 64bit, and you can run EVERYTHING PC-wise from 2000-2015+, emulate many many many systems like Nintendo NES/SNES/N64/Wii/DS/GB/GBC/GBA, SEGA Dreamcast/Master System, Sony …
Re: Nvidia cards - the Wiki isn't clear on this...

There is another problem with wiki: Here there it only mentions that ALL GF4MX 4x0 cards are 128bit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nvidia_ … GeForce4_series But I have a GF4 MX440/8x that is 64bit, thus falls a bit behind a GF2 GTS. 😉
Cannot get Gravis Gamepad Pro to work with Windows 98SE!
Posted on 2017-07-31, 08:35
Hello fellow VOGONerS! I have problem trying to get a Gravis Gamepad Pro (gameport edition) working in my Win98SE retro machine. I attach it to the gameport of my Soundblaster Pro 2 (CT1600), that works good under Windows. I have set the jumpers to SB classic (IRQ7 etc) and disabled LPT port in BIOS …

My favorite retro case! Be sure to take good care of it (and do some cable management in there! :p ) Results seem pretty much OK.

Re: Is Vista now Retro
Posted on 2017-07-18, 11:09
I actually consider Vista as Retro. It's not a matter of age; it's a matter of rarity! I think that one can have only two retro systems and have covered 99,9% of all old games. 1) A fast PC that supports XP (something like a Core i3 Sandybridge, 4GB RAM, any fast GPU up to Radeon 7950/Nvidia 780). …

I tried with a Tagan PSU of enough old-schoolness (30A @ 12v) and with the AGP card only installed. Also, CLR CMOS etc etc. It's probably that 🙁

Well, just for the record, it was a broken GPU. Hiccups under DX8, computer freezes after a few seconds under DX9. So the whole effort of a combined system is abandoned. 🙁

I'll have to investigate into this, because of the hiccups in the 3dmark run I tested. It may be the saturated PCI bus (all 5 slots occupied), or some PSU issues? It may even be temperature throttling or some temporary confict with the disabled PCI primary VGA? I'll install 98SE later today to see …
