Did they ever make a VLB CL-GD6235 video card?

I have an ISA CL-GD6235 which is a Cirrus Logic card with a VGA + LCD output, spec wise the chip supports 486 with local bus so in theory I think a VLB version could have been made. But so far not found any reference to one, tbh there isn't a lot of info on CL-GD6235 based cards as I expect they …

Re: Good Games up to 1989 that run best on DOS

in DOS
If we stretch it to 1990, Ultima 6 is one. The Amiga version is a pain in the arse due to disk swapping (very few Amiga's had HDD at the time). Also many would argue the MT32 soundtrack was better than the Miggy's 4 channel sample based soundtrack.

Re: VGA Capture Thread

SUCCESS!! Latest driver and vcs compiled and running on a modern linux distro! I'll do a proper write up (and maybe a videos...) next weekend as it wasn't a straight route, so i want to do it again knowing what I know now. Linux Distro: MX Linux MX-23.3_x64 “ahs” with updates which installed kernel …

Re: VGA Capture Thread

Tried with both scripts/install.sh and make All stop in the same place. Tried with a self compiled 6.8.0 kernel and its the same. Maybe I messed up the kernel header/source and/or the build environment. Maybe a nuke from orbit and re-install just in case...

Re: Big Box PC Games – Show and Tell

We had source code and art from both PS2 and XBox version. The XBox version was the main version we worked with. Rumour has it Konami has lost the original source code now, I may have it on backup in storage. I've been asked about it but the storage is in another country so not had a chance to look …

Re: Big Box PC Games – Show and Tell

Small box but with a special significance (to me). Got this today in a bundle of other small box games. TBH This was the main one I waited. Silent Hill 2 Directors Cut PC is a hard to get game in general, and generally considered the best way to play it on modern hardware (using the Enhanced Edition …

Re: Review: Sound Blaster PCI 128 (CT4810)

Does it use a TSR for its real DOS emulation mode? I think the answer is yes but best to ask. I remember Creative gave me one of these at one of the Conferences back in 96/97 (just after they brought Ensoniq iirc), can't remember be very impressed back then.

Re: 8088 assembly help

in Milliways
The instruction prefetch becomes less important as you go up the CPU lines. IIRC rep movsb/w is basically the fastest across them all (and even higher CPUs). 16 bit moves will become even more desirable. Can't think of any of the extra instructions that would help in this case...
