I'm having hard time deciding to what retro system I'm going to leave it. Since there was three XG midi soundfonts listed here , I decided to try them all with Final Fantasy 7. Here are some recordings from FF7 configurator. I didn't adjust any reverb or chorus so defaults are used. I included …

Can I use the chill iii + mccake without the floppy power connector on chill, only with the barrel 9v adapter?

I am not business savy, but you may consider a pre sale prior to ordering parts, very close to it. Good luck!

I am quite fond of EGA esthetics, actually I believe the best version of Monkey Island / Loom are the EGA ones.

a bit offtopic, I am quite happy to see new "old" parts being available, it reduces the pricing pressure on the existing stock.

Re: Flashing older cards with newer BIOS when GPU is the same? i.e. GT440>>730, 6450>>R5 230 etc..
Posted on 2021-06-26, 08:10
Doable, the only difference between cards could be memory timings and speeds. Make sure there is a fallback solution, such as a flash programmer with a backup bios or blind booting (or with a pci video card)
Re: slot 1 bx440 agp perfomance
Posted on 2021-06-23, 08:46
I would say your performance is as expected. The cpu and memory are slow; agp is not the bottleneck here. Fx5500 result is explained by different drivers used, most likely. Assuming the fx 5500 you have is an 128 bit card.

I've made a list I've shared with my wife and brother as I have a lot of money sitting in these boxes, explain what to do should anything happen to me. The S478 for example would be lucky to sell for £100. it's GF6800 Ultra alone could probably sell for the same price. That's generous. I will …

no need for such a cable with win xp. WDM audio drivers will allow digital audio output from the cdrom without the cable.
Re: soundblaster audigy

I hope that works out for you, but unfortunately, I also read that in circuit programming of the EEPROM on Live and Audigy cards did not work (desoldering required). I have only ever tried it myself on X-FI card (for modding, not repair) and was never even able to read the EEPROM on several …
Re: Upgrading semi modern pc ssd
Posted on 2021-06-05, 11:15
If you want to go for future proof, you could buy an m2 nvme drive and a pcie adapter. Personally, I would not buy anything below 2TB. For gaming, the performance difference vs. a SATA SSD should be negligible.

It is much better to get a new RX, if the prices are reasonable. It is essentially an Audigy 4, feature wise, with driver support down to XP. EAX 5 does not appear to be relevant.
