Alright so I decided to get Voodoo 3, maybe in the future Voodoo 2 12MB x2 so next question related to Voodoo, what AGP graphic card will be good? I own Nvidia FX5200, Radeon 9600 and Nvidia 7200GS. 😀

@Cutton, I was buying them in my country at time when nobody wanted them. 🤣 @Gmlb256, Gex is full 3D game, PS1 version is easier but I have both so why not to use both? 😀

So for P1 and 486 builds I should leave combo 2D S3 + V1 and for Piii 500 would be a good idea to leave V3 2000 (updated, working but previous owners tried to separate radiator leaving 3 marks on main chip, oof, I'm glad that works and I didn't kill it with update) and for Piii 1GHz to invest with …

So, having Voodoo 1s (I paid like 100PLN for each, around $25 years back xD) are good to have but not good to buy, same with overpriced v4/5. However one thing confuses me, maybe someone will explain, I heard it's possible to have 800x600 resolution with V1 but this required V1 6/8MB RAM, did such …

I can stay at P3 1GHz and leave Vodoo 3 2000 with P3 500MHz. The thing is I have 3 AGP cards with support of DX8 at least and I'm a noob with Voodoo cards. Maybe P4 3GHz? And I'm gonna buy V3 3000, thanks for this advice. 😀

Short question from complete noob in this matter. :D I have 3 Voodoo ones, 2 from 3DFX and one on black PCB and one Voodoo 3 2000 (looks like someone tried to separate heatsink from main chip and looks 'smashed' in 2 places but works and I updated it to the newest BIOS for SDRAM) and PCs I'd like to …

Thanks, I'll try. Duke3D likes AWE32 when I don't try to set it up again, but Rise of the Triad likes either General Midi or Sound Canvas which gives me big WTH. 😁

I have simple yet annoying issue with MIDI sounds, or rather not hearing them in win98SE unless I'll launch autoexec.bat from windows itself then they load and work. How can I fix this? My next issue is detecting AWE32 in games, this usually works but often I see AWE32 couldn't be detected. Under …

Config hard on the MMSN84? How? I'd expect having to do one-off EEPROM config, then it just behaves as if you'd done jumpers for the same settings. Drivers? None require any drivers (for DOS at least) or even init programs. Once config has been programmed, they just work. I have one issue with …

So, I've tested all cards. I38-MMSD802 - no WSS, other than this good card, has WSS/DSS, noisy, and I left this one in my working but looking horribly 386 after 'barrel' leaked. I38-MMSN810 - everything works as intended. Windows Sound System and Speach Thing/Disney Sound Source, much less noisy. …

So I38-MMSD802 has DSS/Covox/SB Pro2 but doesn't have WSS? I'm confused because I've read this here: Practically all of the 1st generation sound cards supports Adlib, Sound Blaster Pro II, Windows Sound System, Disney Sound Source & Covox Speech Thing. And on blog: All chipsets implement the AdLib …

The thing is I never had any of these two (Disney Sound Source and Covox Speech Thing) so having them next to proper (hopefully not with reversed stereo bug) SB Pro 2 clone is a plus for me. I own SB Pro2. AWEs 32 (one withouth glitches) 64 (one GOLD), SB16 with Yamaha OPL3 and 3 ESS 1868F and 1869F …

I made a mistake, older one has ICC I38-MMSD802 so SB Pro 2.0, good for me, also should I worry about Disney Sound Source and Covox Speech Thing in mono or that's normal like with OPL2?

Does it have correct SV Pro 2.0? I've read some boards have it wrong 'reversed' or something. Edit: Ok, I bought 2 Aztech cards, one on chipset AZT2316A and second AZTSSPT0592-U01 because I never had Sound Blaster 2.5 card so now I will. xD Does it support GameBlaster or only SB2.5?

Can anyone point out what chips should such card …

That issue was fixed, the problem was a lack of jumper on MFBEN pins! Now either external MIDI devices works or emulation through this Sound Blaster AWE64. 😁 It took so long to find this issue. 😀
