You need to make sure the boot block is being flashed as well. Best way to do this is to physically flash the chip in an external programmer, but there's also a switch to do that in the command line flasher. The BIOS posted is for the Asus P2B, specifically. I have a P2B-S and I used this same …

Update: The system seems to hang on boot now if a keyboard is plugged in. If powered on with no keyboard, boot proceeds to the error message 'no keyboard detected'. At this point the keyboard can be plugged in and works, which is strange. But..the hard drive is detected, so thanks for the file.

Flashed the BIOS from the attachment, but now it just hangs on the boot screen after detecting the CPU.

Hey guys, Running into an issue when trying to install an SSD into my new Slot 1 retro build. The motherboard is ASUS P2B 440BX. I am using a Startech SATA to IDE adapter with a 120GB SSD connected. This is a known working drive. When the machine is powered on, the devices are being enumerated and …

I've done some further testing and the issue seems to be CPU related, which I did not really expect. I've underclocked the CPU down to 300 Mhz, and loaded a saved level in Thief where I noticed the slowdown initially - I was now getting around between 15-30 fps. I've overclocked the CPU back to 450 …

Thanks for the feedback. A quick update on the progress. I started a playthrough of Thief The Dark Project to test out the system, and it looks like there is an issue somewhere. I've noticed that in some instances during the game, I get what can only be described as a massive stutter/framedrop, …

@Chinny22 The main issue I'm running into with lack of the optical drive, is that Daemon Tools is unable to emulate RedBook audio on games that used to play music from CD (Quake I / Quake II for example). I have a separate thread on that, but it doesn't look like it's going to work, so I might have …

I've installed Windows on the CF initially to test but the performance was noticeably worse than the IDE drive, so I'm using it for additional storage now. I also have this machine connected to a separate vlan with access to a dedicated NAS, so storage should not be an issue. Any recommendations for …

Hello, I am currently working on a Slot 1 Pentium II build. The goal with this system was to replicate my first computer. Specs: Gigabyte GA-6BXC Pentium II 400 Mhz Asus GeForce 2 MX400 V7100PRO / 64MB 128MB Ram Seagate 20GB IDE HDD Realtek 8139 Ethernet Adapter CF to IDE adapter Sound Blaster …

Do you think trying the dual sound card setup would make sense in this case? I'm thinking if I pointed Daemon Tools to use a specific sound card for 'cd playback' and then connect that card to line in port on the other card, the sound should work in theory. But based on the experience with this so …

Re Frogger - exactly. When using task switcher, music will play in Windows but when I go back in the game, no music.

I've tested two other titles that use CD audio during gameplay - Quake and Frogger. While mounted in Daemon Tools, Quake music works in game. Frogger music does not work in game..but starts playing after I exit the game. Quake II still no music in game at all. I've tried adjusting the slider in …

Thanks for the suggestions @bregolin - I have no such option under device properties. @Jorpho - Yes, I was able to play the mounted CUE image in Winamp and another MP3 in Windows Media at the same time. As far as two sound cards go, do you think two sound cards of the same model would cause an issue …

Hi all, I am having some issues with in game audio playing properly while mounting BIN/CUE images in Daemon Tools v 3.47 Searching through the forum there appear to be several threads on the subject, but there doesn't seem to be a generally agreed upon fix for the issue. I am trying to run Quake II …

I managed to pick up SB Live! CT4620 for a decent price and install it using the CD image from Vogons database. Will post build pics of the machine in a separate thread once finished. Thanks for the help.

@darry I've tried the CD from the link you provided, unfortunately no luck. It looks like I won't be able to get this card going on Win 95. Any recommendations as to Win 95 compatible cards? Would SB Live! be acceptable? I have a SB0220 which is also a Dell OEM, and it also does not want to install, …

Hello all, I am currently building a Windows 95 OSR 2.5 retro system and am having real problems getting the Audigy 2 sound card working. Going by the serial number on the back of the card it appears to be a Dell OEM version SB0353. I have attempted to run a regular installer by the means of the …
