Is Heretic II really compatible? That's a Quake 2 engine game, the rest is Unreal. Conversely I'd be surprised if other games with that engine don't support it. I believe it is, at least partially (S3TC), please correct me if I am wrong. It won´t let you choose "Metal" while in the ingame video …

There´s not much love shown to the S3 Savage 4. Sure, they were not in the level of performance of a Voodoo3 or TNT2, still, they have features which make them unique and interesting, at least to me. Especially when it comes to the Pro and Extreme variants. I find them good enough performers, at …

I guess you´ve already tried with another CPU and reseting the BIOS. I can´t see bulging capacitors in the picture.

So, I get, from first hand (you), tthat one should not do anything within pure DOS to configure the card. Games would just sound when loaded without any previous command, right? That's right. If everything is correctly installed, you should have sound in pure DOS by simply clicking Start > Shutdown …

Phil's video is based on my guide: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=74361 There shouldn't be anything special that you need to do to get the card working in pure DOS if you follow all the steps correctly.

Live! cards are often incompatible with Via Apollo chipsets, at the PCI level. Try an actual Audigy2 with Audigy1 drivers. Thank you! I have changed irq setting on the SB16 emulation device (device manager) to 7 because irq5 seems to be used by the Via chipset for some purpose. I´ve heard about the …

Hello again. Lately a Soyo SY-6VCA arrived to me. Nice performing board (Apollo 133A) by the way, despite having a couple of bulging caps. Paired with a PIII 600EB, PC133 256MB CL2 and a ATI Rage 128 Pro, everything works very snappy under W98SE, period correct games too. My troubles began when I …

Point is, I appreciate more active screenspace than correct aspect ratio, it just does not bother me, my brain adjusts or something. but my brain just sees those black(dark gray if you do not have a super duper expensive screen) and asks itself why all the time. Maybe it is some sort of OCD. I am …
