Re: 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000 remake thanks to reverse engineering

Doesn't Nvidia still own the 3dfx brand name and logos? I wonder if they might object to them being used. Nvidia has bought all 3dfx assets, ips, properties, name and all things. Nvidia could but nvidia don't care about 3dfx fan project. I don't think nVidia still holds any rights to the 3dfx brand …

Finding anything beige these days is going to be close to impossible. I find mATX cases seem to be configured more with 5.25 and floppy drives...I have this one but only 2 5.25 drive bays. And finding 3.5in5.25 caddies is easy and opens up the range of cases, I would look at that approach. I got …

Interestingly I saw a CT4330 on fleabay today...which is almost the exact AWE32 equivalent - the EMU8K with zero expansion ram, just a really crappy ROM. Don't think I'll buy it though, despite the novelty factor.

Did your board originally come with an AMI BIOS? Could you dump the MR BIOS? I have this board (with only the 486 PGA socket on board) but it has a weird performance issue when benchmarking DOOM as it would slow down or lock up. I eventually found out it slows down if you don't have a battery …

Cool. But what on earth is that AT2ATX device? Has it got a live display? That's really cool. Where did you get it from?

Finished Phantasmagoria. I have the game guide as well which showed me a bunch of alternate paths and just hidden stuff I didn't see, but I could go back and easily play through due to being able to start at any chapter afterwards. Pretty good game overall, I can't say I hate the FMV concept anymore …

Trying to find a CD drive to replace a *really* noisy one in my Win95 PC. The current one also cannot have it's speed changed using things like Nero DriveSpeed. So I find some old LITEON DVD/CD drive, and I put it in and it supports an amazing range of speeds....from 48X all the way down to 4X! …

Anyone got BASS out of GOG into something workable on DOS? It has the datafiles sky.cpt/dnr/dsk, but no exes (uses SCUMM). I can convert the dsk to bin/cue, the others are game data files. Is SCUMM the only option?

You should be running screaming and kicking away from Origin. EPIC or Steam or GOG.
