Hi, is there a filelist for the content of the archive.org torrent? Specifically I am looking for anything related to PK5, an old Socket5 MB. Thanks. I downloaded it in 2015, I can't recall from where, but there's pretty much nothing for the PK5. There's a folder /bios/bios/old/pk5 which is empty, …

Yeah I will. I usually dont mess around anything that is still connected to an outlet or with large capacitors. Electricity is very respected by me.....I'm scared of it. You can also bypass the PSU rocker switch with a single switch adapter, that way you don't have to touch the PSU at all. Just …

Does this board even support it? I want to be able to monitor fan speeds and, more importantly, temperatures, but I can't even get PSU voltage readouts. It should do, I think. It's tough to find good specs for Aopen's older boards but hardware monitoring was a thing by this point. I have an Aopen …

This is a difficult one, because as time went by my favourites changed and I also had favourites in different genres. When I started gaming in the early 1990s, Duke Nukem (2D)/Bio Menace/Commander Keen were my favourites and remained that way until Need for Speed II: SE, which took way too much of …

I have an extremely tiny collection. Voodoo2 12MB - Skywell Magic 3D II Voodoo2 12MB - Creative CT6670 Voodoo4 4500 APG - PowerColor EvilKing 4 I’d love to add a Voodoo Graphics, Voodoo3 3000 and Voodoo5 5500/6000 to my collection, but they’ve all become extremely pricey.

Hey guys, post your most arbitrary trivia about 3dfx here. The things you doubt many people know. Sources are preferable, but don’t let the lack of a source stop you :D I’ll go first. Did you know that the 3dfx box art was designed by the same artists that did Marilyn Manson’s cover art? https:// …

I had quite a score this weekend. I got a Slot 1 based system (Pentium 2 400, 256MB RAM, PowerColor EvilKing 4 Voodoo4 4500) with 19” LCD and about 25 old games (including a boxed copy of Quake III Arena) for the equivalent of $40. Yes, the seller knew what he was selling. You could have just said …

Yes there are (eg old Need for Speed games, Unreal, Turok, etc) but I think you'd be better off with a single Voodoo3 2000/3000. It will use a single PCI/AGP slot (instead of three) and have more texture memory. You won't find any newer games that look better, it will be mid to late 90s games. …

Oh I see, it gets ever so slightly smaller. I thought it was a completely different cursor, such as those you got with old Win9x themes.

Welcome! What's the retro computing / gaming scene like in South Africa? Thanks :) The scene here is relatively small.

Did you, in the late 80s and early 90s, have strange releases of original games for the local market? Here in Turkey a local retailer sold original games in Betamax casette boxes with Black & White manuals. They later went even cheaper and sold the games in plastic shrinkwrap with no boxes at all. …
