It would be nice if someone who has skills and time to maintain the thread. Would make thread here in vogons, that contains picogus compatibility with games and hardware. I don't have any hardware issues but most of the games I would like to play doesn't work with picogus, so I mainly use it in …

Re: Anyone successfully using those cheap/modern ATI Rage XL (4752) on Windows 95?
Posted on 2024-09-01, 16:12
I decided to give this card another try in Windows 95... I tried various 1995-1998 ATI drivers where I added an entry for the 4257 in the INF file. It does let me install the driver set, but I get an incompatible error upon reboot... Anyway, I lost any remaining hope I had for this card to replace …

I had a Monster Voodoo 1 in 3D, then a Voodoo2 and then a Voodoo 3... I remember drooling over these TNT2!! I never had the chance to buy one, but it really made an impression on me. So much so that 10 years ago, back when retro gaming wasn't even on my radar (I never thought it could be), I bought …

Maybe you are looking for Vienna Soundfont Studio that came with the installation bundle? Vienna 2.0 or 2.1 needed for win3x awe32
In need of some Monkey Island 2 Enhanced Talkie Edition save games
Posted on 2024-08-22, 23:50
So, I never got to play the Monkey Island series (yeah, I know)... I am probably 1/3 into the story (in Part II) of Monkey Island 2 (DOS enhanced) and I got the monocle bug and just noticed. Going to a previous savegame where I had the monocle would take me hours back. Does anyone has a few save …

Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?

In my case, it’s installed on a PicoGus v2. Sooo, plenty of space!! However, I was worried it would not fit on my Audician 32, but it does! Anyways, I think the heatsink is optional or just a copper shim could do the job. If you were to reverse the connector, I am pretty sure you’d need to redesign …

If you're patient and order most of your stuff from Aliexpress, than I'd say $50 (Canadian). From that, 25% was for shipping on the Pi board! Ugh.... As a fellow Canadian, that piqued my interest. Where are you buying your Pi from? EDIT: Actually, what I want to know more is where you're ordering …
