@rasteri - do you have a BOM for the PS2 version? Also, is there a substitute part for the USB connector? (USB1035-GF-P-0-B-B). It's out of stock at DigiKey. Thanks!

I agree that the form factor is definitely nicer. USB (input) on one side and PS2 (output) on the other makes a lot more sense. I've ordered both so I'll probably build one of each and let you know how I make out.

Are you still planning to work on the PS2-only version, or is it 'obsolete' (or superseded) by the AXP version?

Fantastic! Thanks again so much.

Thanks for the update. I'll plan to order some PCBs unless I hear otherwise. Thanks so much for your work on this (and other) projects!

Great, thanks so much for the help! By the way, was there any change in the AXP PCB from the original version? It looks like I ordered some a while ago and didn't even remember, haha. However, I forgot to order the enclosure front/rear panels so I guess I might as well order the newer AXP PCB too...

If I'm planning to build one of these, should I build the PS2USB or AXP version? I know they are still a work in progress but I'd like to contribute with testing, etc. It looks like the AXP version is the 'better' version with the extra serial output feature?

This. I use OSSC and a PCIe video capture card. Which PCIe capture card do you use? I've used the OSSC and it's successor (the DExx ) and the results are definitely really good. The only thing missing are the scanlines/CRT filters. However, I've always been interested in an HDMI capture card but I …

Thanks for the advice. What about the combination 2D/3D cards like the Riva TNT(2) or Voodoo3? Are they better for 2D software rendering than the Matrox cards?

Does winquake run faster than the DOS version? I haven't been keeping up with the latest in this thread but I know Windows had file transfer/driver issues so I was avoiding it...

Either one if one performs better, but I'm testing DOS quake.

Is it possible to increase the framerate in Quake using 640x480? It looks like Duke 3D is able to run up to 800x600 and a really good framerate, but Quake really struggles...

What is required for playing 1990s FPS games at SVGA (60 fps) ? I have a Pentium 3 500 MHz from an IBM PC and it appears to include "S3 Trio 3D" chip onboard. Would this be possible to play 1990s FPS like Duke3D/Quake at 800x600 with 60 FPS? If not, is there a recommended PCI video card I should …

Well, if you ever find a teleportation device please let me know. :) It's definitely a great monitor and at first I was happy to find one so large, but my finished basement doesn't have space for it. I'm still trying to make it work, but given the distance you have to sit back from the monitor (plus …

I've been lucky enough to obtain a Nokia 445ZA CRT monitor in like-new condition but it's really, really big even for a CRT monitor. (21") I've been trying to find a nice 17" or 19" CRT monitor but I don't live in a big town so nothing really exists. Are there any LCDs that are considered "good" or …

Unfortunately it won't work as-is. I've also asked the developers of the ao486 core to add USB or parallel (ie. OPL2LPT/OPL3LPT) support so we can add devices like this but it doesn't look too promising. 🙁

I've checked my device and the VendorID (VID) is 0483 and ProductID (PID) is 5740. However, I'm still not convinced the problem is with the Vortex86 SOM. When I plug in my KVM it allows me to type a few characters and then displays the exact same message ("Internal stack overflow, System Halted"). …

Ugh ... Same problem. It reports "Retro wave device not found." and then a few seconds later "Internal stack overflow, System Halted" I'm also trying a separate power source: weeCee VCC -> N/C weeCee D- -> RW D- weeCee D+ -> RW D+ weeCee GND -> RW GND+weeCee GND PSU -> RW VCC PSU GND -> RW GND+ …

I'm glad to see the interest in the HDMI (or DVI) output since I have also looked into this and considered the LVDS->HDMI adapter but it would require a board redesign (weeCee) to provide the connector and then the additional hardware to convert it. I've also looked into other options for scaling …
Re: DOS driver for RetroWave OPL3

Hmmm, it still doesn't work but I think the problem is between the Vortex86 (weeCee PC) and the RetroWave PotatoPi Lite. (ie. the RetroWave OPL3 is connected to the PotatoPi Lite) As I mentioned, when I plug the PotatoPi + OPL3 into the weeCee, the PC immediately reboots. I've tried using a USB Y- …
