my latest 486 build. I've been wanting something faster than my AT for DOS gaming (which was lagging in SCI sierra games) and i had a hankering to play me some wing commander, so i raided my parts bin and put one together. build log if anyone's interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= …

Hi, Unfortunately I'm using a cabinet without turbo button, it doesn't even come with a reset button.. Setmul in combination with different FSB/multiplier settings will do the trick. @clueless1 I'm surely going to use the Ark based Diamond Stealth64 in this machine. I never used such a graphic card …

Any reason you ruled out the 233 MMX? It has many advantages , lower voltage/heat, easily underclocked, supports TR12 options in SETMUL for smooth slowdown. Re sound card options I have an AWE 64 gold in my Pentium build which I'have been very happy with apart from FM, So I have changed the FM io …

Well, You are not completely wrong. With this machine, the target is late DOS early Windows 3D era, but I wish to put together a 'do-it-for-all' config. I already have two builds for earlier games, namely a low end 386DX and a fast DX4 machine. A CT2760 (which is inside the DX4 pc) will provide OPL3 …

Pentium build (advises needed)

Posted on 2017-07-03, 13:23

Hello vogoners, I'm planning a new build around an Intel 430hx chipset, not strictly period correct and I need some advises on soundcards. My target with this build is mid-to-late DOS era and early Windows 95/98 era games. Main components will be: ATX class PSU/Cabinet; Intel Pentium/MMX, min. 133 …

TBH I prefer NVIDIA picture quality. :D Anyway, I changed platform going for a Pentium II 400@448MHz, Riva TNT, V2-SLI and the infamous Matrox M3D. The FPS gain using the PowerVR OpenGL is fairly modest in Q2 timedemo 1: just 22FPs with the Pentium II@400MHz. I was pretty sure that a stronger FPU …

Yeah that's right. Anyway this time I have problem installing PowerVR drivers. After install process, even though the card appears in device manager, I haven't any control panel in Display Properties. I think that's a resource problem. What do you think about Via 4 in 1 installer bug? M.

Hi guys, There isn't any opengl32.dll in Q2 folder. I reinstalled everything from scratch and now Riva 128 works fine with Default OpenGL Q2 drivers and 3.37 NVIDIA reference drivers, obtaining ~20FPS with a Pentium 233 MMX. Anyway I'm pretty sure that VIA 4 in 1 drivers installer is bugged: even if …

Hi, I've tried a different set of NVIDIA drivers (v2.77 reference) I've also installed AGP drivers v4.35 as stated here Recently I had a few Via 4in1 4.35 driver issues with my Gigabyte GA-6VXE7+ Rev 3.0 Via Apollo Pro board. I found that every time I installed the 4in1 drivers, I would encounter …

Diamond Viper v330 OpenGL problems

Hi guys, I've built a SS7 machine based on a K6 233, an Apollo MVP3 MoBo, a Viper v330 AGP, a Canopus Pure3D and a Matrox M3D. I'm trying to run some benchmarks with Quake 2. Using 3DFX and PowerVR OGL .dlls I've no problem (20 and 11 FPS respectively). If I want to test the Viper v330 opengl …
