Re: What’s you Favorite ISA Sound Card ?

Love the various YMF719xxx variant cards, I have a couple which have a YMF719E-S on them and they are just great for both Windows 9x and DOS. Except of course for the current issue I have in my Socket 462 system where they are apparently slightly incompatible with VT82C686 chipsets (tried across 3 …

I have to admit to being fairly confused as there's been a couple people now in this thread who seem to think most of the people here are asking for a place to *only* talk about releases or something (e.g. someone I think previously referenced the "Releases" forum as being suitable for talks about …

I've seen this topic has come up multiple times here on Vogons over the past few years, and it never seems to get a huge amount of traction. I am not in the loop or anything. But I Imagine the guy(s) making decisions about the vogons website direction, are not deciding things based on popularity. …

I've seen this topic has come up multiple times here on Vogons over the past few years, and it never seems to get a huge amount of traction. Which, as someone who enjoys retro software development, disappoints me. But I have to admit that retro software development is a bit of a "niche within a …

I still have my old boxes for Visual C# .NET 2003 Standard and Visual Basic .NET 2002 Standard which I originally bought when they released ... they are complete except that somewhere along the way I lost the CDs for both! Argh! A couple years ago I re-bought the CDs for VB.NET, but have yet to see …

Gered , hi! Any chance you have factory restore disks for this laptop? Just bought it and soon I'll start digging inside. Wanna try original vision of the system. Thanks! I do not! That would be neat to have though ... You've probably found this via searching around already, but just in case you've …

https://i.imgur.com/fhv3jThl.jpg Here I try to correct yet another transgression of my youth. Finally getting a legitimate copy of Microsoft Office 97 Professional! Sealed too. What a tragedy. Let's free it from its cage. https://i.imgur.com/zCkyv4al.jpg Ahhh. That's better. And yes, I do want the …

Newest additions: 1.jpg I missed this before apparently. GoLive. I remember playing with that (I don't think it was the same version as what you have here). Cool stuff actually, but shortly thereafter I started developing a distaste for tools that generated HTML for you, turning my back on previous …

I don't run Windows 98 on my 430CDT. Windows 95 performs very noticeably faster and I don't lose any features I care about either (perfectly stable, usable, etc). Anyway, under Win95 I can run games at 800x600, yes (e.g. Seven Kingdoms). I have not tried 3D games at that resolution (would run …

Re: ACKNEX / 3D GameStudio game projects for DOS

Haha, cool, yeah! That was a lot of fun to work on! I do still wonder if I was the only one who had trouble building the DOS versions of ACK-3D from the code included on the CD-ROM. The windows versions build fine with no hiccups or anything along the way. I didn't mention it here in this thread …

I have to say, all the ACKNEX history is quite interesting. I had a copy of Lary Myers' book "Amazing 3-D Games Adventure Set" back in 1997 (two years after it was published) which was essentially a book that described in detail Lary's ACK-3D engine (Lary is of course the original author of the ACK- …
