What's next for MESS anyway? PowerVR? (Would be necessary to do it for the Dreamcast emulation anyway - and PCX2 could be backward'd from the DC code they have now) Next for MESS is to get a decent PCI emulation system in its PC drivers - currently, it's pretty much ISA-only. Next (I hope) will be …

Ah, that was what I thought. Any suggested AGP cards that support "everything"? EDIT: Found a list which show compatbility here: http://gona.mactar.hu/DOS_TESTS/ The Matrox card sticks out as a bad sore. Looks like the best bet is the early nVidia cards. Gona's a member of this forum actually! We …

It's set to 437 on my XP system as well. So if the original poster is running XP (I may have missed it but it wasn't clear?) then assuming it's an English version of XP, it should be set to that.

Quoting myself in another thread - I'd love to someday see a copy of the Neon250 driver CD, high-res PCB scan and a dump of the video BIOS! :lol: (Perhaps NitroX Infinity has already done this and I haven't been paying attention.) With Dreamcast/NAOMI being emulated, perhaps a Neon250 emulation …

I'm really tempted to open up the sealed box and drop the card into one of my systems.. What to do!? You gotta ask what kind of person you are. If you care more about keeping the value up, save it, if you care more about exploring the secrets of the card and view this more as a hobby, go ahead and …

Possibly off topic, I am curious about your thoughts on collecting wrappers for audio APIs, namely Creative Lab's ALchemy, ASUS's DirectSound 3D GX 2.0, Realtek's 3D SoundBack Beta and C-Media's Xear3D EX that restore support for DirectSound3D + EAX extensions hardware acceleration for games in …
