Re: Bad DRAM on a voodoo 2 what should I do?

Posted on 2017-02-22, 21:49

Well a bump for an update I guess, utsource did answer my test inquiry about 24 dram chips and they do apparently have them in stock. for 24 chips you can essentially just buy another Voodoo 2 but i'll buy only 8 chips (enough to cover the chips of the tmu that has some of them damaged) and 6 40mm …

in DOS
No, a single D drive and the game plays the Midis that it has instead of the CD music, there doesn't seem to be an option in the installer or ingame to set music to cd audio, although the exact same tracks are present on the CD.

in DOS
The patch did help, ram was not an issue it seems. Man this games intro is BOSS, there's something about it that really makes it feel grander than what it is. I can't seem to figure out how to run it with CD music though, the tracks on the disk are amazing and I really want them in the game.

Warlords 2 black screen issue

in DOS
I can run the game fine trough dosbox on my main pc but if I try to run it on my Pentium 2 it instantly closes on windows 95 and in DOS I just get a black screen with a mouse cursor and have to reboot to get out of it. The videocard is S3 Virge 325, soundcard is CT4810, cpu is P2 MMX 333mhz Slot1, …

Well that site I just link does allow you to proceed to checkout with those drams. I think i'll get another voodoo from ebay, make sure it's buddy buddy in sli with my card and if all checks out i'll get that minimum order of 25 bucks from that site, I mean having some extra DRAM chips does not hurt …

OK so probably the final question now, where do I find some compatible dram? There are place I find that appear to sell the chips but I have no idea if they sell small orders to non-companies and if they are in any way reliable... This for example lists prices but if you say click on alternatives or …

OK so given that it's probably those two chips (top and bottom) that are faulty, the question is do I need to replace them with the exact same model of dram chips or will just getting same spec chips do? Or maybe lower spec chips can work here as well? From what I know voodoo2 dram only runs at …

Sorry for the tripple post but I have done tests and no TMUS share the workload and the culprit absolutely must be TMU 1s dram. https://postimg.org/gallery/272ej5mtc/ Q1 with 2 tmus looks weird but sort of passable, but give it only 1 tmu and it's technicolor madness. Homeworld is almost entirely …

From what I understand TMU2 (the one on the left) does not really do much if a game is not designed to use multi-texturing? I should try Quake 2 to see what happens but in carmageddon 2 it's kind of 50% of textures are covered in dots and the other half isn't, which textures are affected will change …
