If you guys want something a little different for CD audio, check out Andrew Hulshult's album IDKFA. It's high quality metal covers of most of the Doom soundtrack. He's not some scrub either, he recently did the soundtrack for the Doom Eternal DLC "The Ancient Gods".

Special thanks to you JazeFox! The /XWSS switch in v0.80a allowed me to finally get WSS working on my Aztech AT6800W.

I just tried the latest UNISOUND v0.80a with the /XWSS switch and it worked with my AT6800W. Descent worked perfectly. Tyrian2K detected WSS for the first time in setup but didn't actually play any sound effects in-game. That's good enough for me right now, I'll do more testing later.

As said an ISA sound card is better for DOS, but in my opinion the Sound Blaster Live! is actually pretty good in DOS. I found it to be more compatible than I thought it would be considering its reputation around here. The TSR requires EMS memory so it's not compatible with any game that conflicts …

I use a front case fan that blows onto the Voodoo and other cards, then I installed an expansion slot cover next to the Voodoo that has a ventilation hole in it. There's now a nice path for the air to flow that cools the Voodoo.

I've also done this voltage mod using a couple of diodes to drop the voltage instead of a regulator. It works great.

Maybe it's just broken? One of the cost-reduced ATI Rage XL PCI's I purchased had a tiny bit of physical damage that severed one of the connections to the BIOS chip. Like yours it would get hot but not display anything. I managed to fix the severed connection with a bit of solder.

Try running the install program and change your sound card to none for both digital sound and music. If the game works with no sound then go back to the install program and setup your sound card again.

It's personally preference. I've modified USB cables with a hot needle to add the hole, but I've also broke the pin off of a non-keyed IDE motherboard header so I could use the common keyed cables. You can also just bend the pin off to the side.

It is very weird though to see a motherboard with onboard IDE but not floppy.

You'll need an ISA floppy controller. They often also come with serial ports.

I'm pretty sure they can do 800x600 in most games where as a regular V1 could not outside of some very specific examples that didn't use Z-buffer or whatever its called. Although I'm not sure how well the performance would be. The V1 is a tad bit slow as is. MechWarrior 2 is a 3dfx game that …

If that capacitor has gone bad then it's likely that all other similar capacitors on the GPU are bad or close to going bad too. Plan on recapping the entire GPU, but start with the blown one just in case it is the only one that went bad.
