Steam for the easy workshop mods. I have C&C The Ultimate Collection on Origin for the older titles but much prefer steam for the community.

I am also using SB0880 X-Fi Titanium on Win 10 1903, originally I was on 1809 using Daniel_K's drivers and after the forced update it still worked, after I saw M$ reinstalling pretty much all system drivers itself. Am using 1060 6GB and don't have hum when gaming, my psu is s12ii. Thinking of …

Haha I love it, the grey seems to match nicely, that paint job looks good from here. You could probably get matching Windowblinds for the desktop too: From: https://www.reddit.com/r/retrobattlestations/ … g_windowblinds/

This was a nice read, really satisfying to see it all running well. About the TX97-E, would any generic USB2 bracket work, after reassigning the pins to fit the motherboard? where did you find a PS/2 bracket with the right pin amounts? the motherboard is a combined 17pin header right? So, I ended …

Hey AvalonH, could you share what flash tool you used to erase the raid bios on this card? and some info on how to do it? thanks. After messing around I now have it working. The official Promise bios flasher tools wouldn't flash the card so I just erased the raid bios. It worked. When I boot from …
Re: Is it possible to pop out this case front panel?
Posted on 2020-09-20, 16:46
It does come off with a loud satisfying crack! Now I can get to the dust inside :P Also seems much sturdier than the usual plastic clips that get brittle. The front blue bezel also pops off, perhaps it was a swappable color thing. Maybe it looks better all beige :P IMG_20200920_173925.jpg Can you …

I like the retro Evercase cases but shipping is a killer 🤣. Love to see these 5.25 bays filled, the Seasonic must have plenty of molex connectors 😀 Is the power btn AT or you have to mod it?
Is it possible to pop out this case front panel?
Posted on 2020-09-19, 18:21
Finally found a decent beige case that isn't so seasoned. The front panel is strangely held by these metal things. Does anyone know if it pops out like plastic clipped ones, or it needs some tools to remove the bits? Since I've broken some plastic clips I don't wanna force anything again 🤣.

Nope, 2nd game is showing a monk from Diablo 1's expansion Hellfire.
Re: Doom and Doom II just got official widescreen support
Posted on 2020-09-07, 15:17
Yeah it's nice they added the option to their remastered version, I have no doubt it will make some happy. It's just that once you add 16:9, there will be folks asking for 21:9 and on for future remasters. I don't mind black bars personally, the original aspect ratio is always preferred (stretching …
Re: Doom and Doom II just got official widescreen support
Posted on 2020-09-07, 14:37
Well at least no more black bars if you are on 16:9. For remastered games there are usually a lot of requests for wide screen support. I remember seeing someone with ultrawide Doom (presumably on sourceport quite some time ago).

It's shiny! You are lucky to find a new one. These are slot mask, quite bright even with age. I am using one though mine's OSD is worn out. Bought a new in box LG F700B. I wrote in the "Bought this hardware today" -thread that I couldn't wait to unbox this thing, and quite literally I couldn't. Had …

Got lucky with some local finds not too long ago. These are mostly Asia Pacific versions. It's wonderful that there were so many flightsim series to choose from back then like DID/MicroProse/Microsoft/EA Jane's.

I started doing this for my parts and big box games, Pivot Tables are quite nifty to show stats too. Though my bin is pretty small. I found it easier to use Sheets to quickly jot down stuff I would forget or lose later :P Oh like ordering a specific part because you think you are out of them, and …
Re: How do YOU mount your CF2IDE card?
Posted on 2020-08-30, 08:51
If you have a spare 5.25 bay, a removable HDD rack would work too, can either use CF2IDE or SD2IDE. And it is easy to transfer between PCs if you have multiple racks. But yeah the type that directly plugs into the IDE without using cable is most space saving. That 3D printed 3.5" IDE adapter mount …
Is this USB/MIR compatible?
Posted on 2020-08-30, 06:24
Hi all, I found a no name/brand PS2/USB MIR and wonder if it works for Asus TXP-4. This is the pinout for TXP-4: SumatraPDF_2020-08-30_23-05-31.jpg The pinout for the no brand MIR is slightly different (if assuming it is even the correct pinout?): ApplicationFrameHost_2020-08-30_14-15-22.jpg It has …

That's a really nice way to catalogue a big box collection, with their actual scans and you can view it from anywhere. It really pays to be patient, sometimes even years to get a good price for the sought after stuff. Sometimes the rare stuff are still around but just hidden and forgotten in …
