You have to install the DOS Live drivers and check this topic: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=68134 I have the DOS drivers installed from PHIL’s lab. Dos drivers, joystick emulation and the gameport driver. The inputs from the stick (wingman extreme) do Register but are corrupted for lack …

My build is pretty vanilla, but I have backups of everything. My CPU/MB/RAM combo I believe I have 3 complete systems. 875PBZ/3.2 Northwood’s It’s not the hardware that is lusted over in most threads but for under a 100 bucks a “system” I couldn’t pass it up. VGA not included.

Looking for help on this. Can’t seem to get the SB gameport to communicate properly to DOS in 98SE. Everything else works flawlessly. Anyone have a driver recommendation to get things running ?

Getting some crazy inputs/no inputs from the GP on my SB live CT4830 using a joystick. Axis input is all over the place. Button functions seem to work fine. Anyone have any configs or drivers to get the GP to talk through 98SE to 7.1 properly? Everything else works 100% . Function is perfect in 98 …

Great you got it working ! Glad you checked the monitor settings, I will try to remember that but am sure you will :D We all keep learning or re-learning things as we get old, I am constantly being re-edercated ;p I intentionally set it originally to 1.4 for this exact reason. Never dawned on me …

Ahh ok. Glad your board is ok. Sounds like a HDCP issue, depending on what monitor or TV you have it plugged into if using DVI to HDMI and something interfers with the HDCP connection signaling then it halts the video connection and if the BIOS requires a completed signal exchange and it does not …

You could buy a post card, port 80 test card, and identify at which code the computer hangs on boot after a restart. Have you tried doing a clean install on another hard drive, thus preserving your old install, and testing if the computer still behaves the same, ie, no boot for a long time after a …

Will try it one more time tonight. But I may need a new board. Just can’t understand what is causing such a massive hang. Also... crazy radical thought, but if your goal is to run DOS games from the mid-1990sish, maybe you should look for a much older system. Happened to see someone on reddit who …

Looking for input on what I’m doing wrong here. I’ll have to admit, upfront, my D875PBZ is very temperamental. Booting into DOS from 98 or attempting to install a DOS game, wipes the system out. Or really any super hard crash basically soft bricks the system. As soon as it goes into “DOS Mode” I …

Well the cooler (Zalman VF900-cu) came in. Thank you for the recommendation. Just have to grab a few extra ram sinks for the rear of the card (or I might not bother) unsure as of yet. Mounting pressure was the culprit. Remounted with MX-6. Plugged into an empty fan header on the motherboard with …

Replace stock cooler with ie. Zalman VF900-cu cooler. It should have temps ~70c. Stock 5900u cooler is not that great in the first place and temps go easily to 85c+. Custom cooler should resolve if the problem is between the die and heatspreader or just bad mounting with stock cooler. I have couple …

Honestly I don’t have the balls to attempt to delid the thing. If that goes south, these cards are getting extremely hard to find without paying a fortune. If it was delided, the stock cooler would have to go or be modified. It’s held by only 2 corners with plastic retainers that clip through the …

Is this typical? I can’t remember clearly what they were pre re-paste. But it seems like “idle” should be …
