Re: Voodoo 1 not working on Msdos...

What the OP actually meant is that DOS Glide games using the external GLIDE2X.OVL file ran ok within Windows 95 but they fail in a proper DOS environment. Usually an issue with the latest Voodoo Graphics drivers. The solution for this situation is to get the Glide 2.43 runtime libraries (GRTVGR.EXE) …

Re: Less popular Youtube channels

in Milliways
https://www.youtube.com/@PCRetroTech: It is from one of the authors involved in the Area 5150 demo for the IBM PC. Both channels aren't updated frequently. any idea what the guy does actually ?

Re: Toomb Raider + Voodoo 2 CPU Speed Issue

As bloodem said, it is a known problem. Depending on the platform, slowing down the CPU (setting the FSB to 66 MHz, reducing the multiplier, .etc) and applying the essential environment variables would help. This is because the original 3dfx version of Tomb Raider (TOMB3DFX) uses Glide 2.1.1 which …

Re: Sound Blaster 16 soundfont

Is it possible to enable sound fonts to sound blaster 16 on win95/win98 ? If it is possible, I just use the creative soundfont tool, load the font and launch the game for example duke3d from the windows ? SoundFonts on a SB16? No. This is not entirely true. For Win9x Creative Labs released SB16 …

Re: VIDEO BENCHMARKS (Original title: Settling the VIA C3 performance debate once and for all)

Asus P2B rev. 1.12 does not support FSB 50 MHz. 66, 100 and 133 using Rayer SMB work perfectly. Revision 1.12 of the ASUS P2B has the ICS9248-39 PLL clock generator chip like my P2-99. Using the 50 MHz FSB parameter with RayeR's SMB utility causes it to run at 124 MHz FSB with the PCI bus clocked …

Re: WSS support for PCI sound cards?

In DOS applications supporting WSS, the sound quality is superior to the SBPro mode on most clones. Within Windows, it is relevant as drivers for these clones tend to really use WSS outside of DOS applications. PCI sound cards in my experience have support for the AC'97 standard instead of WSS.

Re: Super VGA GPU recommendations

But I'm surprised the Riva TNT isn't supported by Univbe. Maybe use a newer Univbe version? Only UniVBE 6.7 has official support for the RIVA TNT, gains from it are 15bpp and some low resolution VESA video modes. However, 6.7 is the worst version overall as the quality of the utility decreased. I'm …

There is a better patch fixing the unusually bad sound quality with …
