Re: ASUS eeePC 701 / 4G FSB Adjustment Utility

in DOS
So cool! The Asus Eee PC was one of the first netbooks. I remember being blown away by how small they were when new. I don't own one so I can't test the tool but still wanted to comment some appreciation. I have a slightly later netbook with an Atom CPU that is running as a low power server to this …

Would be cool to look into. I wasnt able to find any modded bios on the GMA950 or GMA900, but it would be good to get the stock & modded vbios together and have a look! I wonder if GMABooster wrote to registers or other configuration space (perhaps even SMBus) to make its clock adjustment changes... …

Thanks for the heads up - it looks like the LCD (A070VW04v0) is really basic and has no scaling capability, so the i915g / GMA900 has to do the scaling, likely only controlled by the vbios as you've done. The solution would be pretty similar i think, doesnt the Acer Aspire One have i945 / GMA950?

in DOS
Hi Everyone, For anyone who has an ASUS 701 / 4G eeePC hanging about, it's a handy little unit for playing some old titles, especially thanks to crazii and SBEMU. On some of my other retro laptops, I've had some great success using kalohimal's CPUSPD for underclocking, thanks kalohimal! However, the …

Looks like NAMBAR register holds all the mute registers (from the i865 datasheet): Primary offset _ Secondary Offset _ NAMBAR Exposed Registers (D31:F5) 00h 80h Reset 02h 82h Master Volume Mute 04h 84h Headphone Volume Mute 06h 86h Master Volume Mono Mute 08h 88h Master Tone (R & L) 0Ah 8Ah PC_BEEP …

I have the same problem on a Dell M6400, and posted earlier on in the thread. I was secretly hoping that in the meantime, a DOS program was written that would send custom config commands to the codec, so you could lookup the mixer and routing verbs in the codec's datasheet and try to reroute or …

I have a Jetway J7F2 with a VT8237 audio controller (which uses the same MPXPLAY driver as the VT8231 though a different PCI device) and in the mixer in Linux there is a PC Beep volume control but it does nothing, PC speaker beeps still always come through the piezoelectric beeper on the …

Gday, Awesome progress Crazii, looking like most of the bugs are getting ironed out. Update with the Dell M6400 (ICH9,IDT92HD) - no change (seems to stream audio fine, but no sound). EDIT: will spend some more time on this one later. Just bought an XPS M1210 (sbemu reports: ICH7, Unknown (83847680)) …

Tested and working perfectly on Realtek ALC282. Ran out of time with the IDT92HDxxx, was going to try a few other ac97 config utils such as Unmute mentioned in previous thread, maybe even modify it's asm source for config verbs as per the IDT datasheet, but it'll be 3 weeks until I'm back home from …

Thanks, sorry i overlooked init.bat... I ran init.bat and the output reports EMB and Codec addresses as before, but with the-s switch reports: Codec 0, speaker pin widget: 13 Codec 0, audio converter widget used: 16 Unfortunately still no sound in doom, duke3d, mpxplay.

Hi Kamerat, Very cool, i hadn't thought to try HDAplay. I used the -i switch, which reported the help info. I used the -i switch with 44100s.wav, and it reports the EMB physical and HDA base address, states codec 0 lineout pin widget is 11, but then reports no audio output converter is connected to …

Incredible stuff crazii, this is so cool. I tested on a 2nd gen i7 laptop and it worked perfectly with Doom and Duke3D. I was hoping to get it working on my Dell M6400 though (IDT 92HDxxx) as my main retro rig. Initially got through some hurdles as duke3d was reporting DMA conflicts, but i sorted …
