Thank you ZellSF! Good observation about whole values. I've gone for 1600x1200 as that's 240x5. I don't have so critical an eye to notice too many glitches, but I will absolutely check out JkGfxMod. I went straight to dgV as I've used it so effectively in the past. But JkGfxMod looks like it will …

Hi all. I've revisited MotS to try and create a really clean, unfiltered output. I'm running the Steam version of the game with the most recent unofficial patch, the DOF patch and dgVoodoo 2.62.1. I'm running it windowed (using a -windowgui shortcut target) on Windows 10. General dgVoodoo settings …

Afternoon Vogons. Got to thank this community specifically for the great help and advice it offers.

Anyone interested in a VOGONs swap-shop? A have/want trading post to swap hardware? There's a few of us on here that probably have too much stuff and would be looking to trade out. There's others that are new (or just love a bargain) so don't want to pay eBay prices. Just a thought as I see nothing …

You guys are great. But I'm sorry to tell you the answer is that I am borderline special needs. as @leileilol had suggested, I had sound set to max compatibility; at @philscomputerlab's advice I updated to the latest driver. Even fiddled with dxdiag fwiw. I was still getting the problem. I even …

Hey guys. I've just installed Quake 2 on my '98 rig. I've got it running in 1024x768 in 3DFX GL (Voodoo 2s). Sound card is a SB AWE64. Music is playing off the CD perfect. Sound effects are playing, but they're a bit all over the place. I can't hear the weapons firing at all, and most of the sound …

Funny to see this thread up this week. I literally just bought one of these on eBay, with the intention of putting it into my Win98 build. I've been running a somewhat anachronistic Riva TNT2, but wanted to scale back to a more apt 1998-specific build. I'm now running a Stealth II G460 alongisde my …

Hi guys. This may look like threadromancy but I'm on-topic. After I made the video, the PC has entered a period of disuse, and it developed a short in the power switch.

Oh it gets so much better! Just for kicks I popped in X-Wing. Installed no bother, the sound card was detected with no issues whatsoever! Perhaps it would be worthwhile installing a 98 build of ScummVM on here for the old Lucas (and Sierra?) games, it's fairly unlikely I'll want many more DOS games. …
