Apologies for super necro-ing this as well, but I’ve made some discoveries with these notoriously difficult cards. They’re quite neat, but not all of that exciting, at least not as far as DOS gaming goes. The Orchid Celsius VLB driver has an installer that can provide these cards with a functional …

MAME goal is to emulate the hardware the most accurately as possible at a very low level with little to no consideration to know if the software will run on it on nowadays hardware. If the driver is done correctly the software will work as a consequence but it is done at the cost of a huge CPU …

BTW, a bit off-topic but the reason I know some of the optical drive info I mentioned in my post above because MAME is (incredibly slowly) working towards actual optical drive emulation at the chip/instruction level. IE. Emulate the drive servo DSP, and the drive controller, decode and interpret the …

So... What if you used the internals of a real CD-ROM drive and just replaced the laser unit with an emulator and then also had a way to make the drive think that a CD had been ejected and a new one put in. That seems like it would be a simple way to make it work and not be too expensive as a lot …

Could the watermarking with the free version of Power Director be causing the problem? I can spend the money to upgrade. No, the problem is that you uploaded video that's copyrighted to YouTube. Depending on how you've edited it together, you may be able to file a counter-claim for fair use. …
