Re: How do I know which OS are drivers intended for?

in Windows
I have some old drivers, but no idea about which Windows OS are intended for. I know that if the .inf file contains Signature = "$CHICAGO$" they're intended for some kind of Windows 9x, and if it is Signature = "$Windows NT$" is NT 4.0 onwards. Is there any reliable method of knowing which OS is a …

Re: The future of VR/AR

in Milliways
Top gamers now will have to be top athletes as well, I like that 😅 Or possibly need to benefit from part real, part simulated/virtual assistive technologies in game. If done right, this could potentially allow even handicapped people to interact in a simulated environment as if they were able …

Re: ESS1686 no stereo sound in duke3d

Turns out a headphone splitter I was using to go from my sound canvas to my speakers and headphones was summing the signal to mono. So problem solved and completely unrelated to the card. This was a case of "Hey while I'm in here changing out my soundcard why not ALSO change some cabling at the …

Re: ESS1686 no stereo sound in duke3d

I recently picked up a Labway A111-810 ESS ES1868F card. It seems to be working and sounding great for most things I've tried - but when running the duke3d soundblaster setup, the center, left and right channel tests all sound like they are panned dead center. Does anyone know why this might be? …

Re: The inverse Quake III benchmark

Thanks for benchmarking, guys! :-) I'm still waiting for the delivery of a Rage II (non +) with 4MB SGRAM. I'll then add your results to the table as well. There's no way to display tables here in the forum, is there? Currently I have to print Excel tables as images. That is quite cumbersome. …

Re: MS-DOS, S-100, hi-res graphics and AutoCAD ?

Hi everyone, Found something interesting. https://retrocomputingforum.com/t/s-100-hi-res-graphics-board-supporting-autocad-in-1985/3027 The S-100 board featured hi-res graphics 1024x1024 pels in 8 colours. It used an intel 7220 graphics chip, which was licensed from NEC. This advanced chip was also …

Re: The inverse Quake III benchmark

The 300SX can render Quake III with high detail in high resolutions with few glitches, but well, very slowly. But that chip has just 1 million transistors! That is 1/5 of an Rage II! Shure, it does not do 2D, or MPEG decoding. But that is quite lean. (...) What makes you think Rage II had 5 million …
