Hey, I was wondering if anyone else who owns an AST Advantage! 824 might know what the jumper settings are, for upgrading to a Pentium-MMX OverDrive 200? After seeing Phil's video, I think this machine after all the upgrades (it already has 64MB of memory, just needs its Mach64 upgraded to 2MB of …

Ok, so for Pinball Illusions, mark the Mach64 (and this would probably count for any of ATI's 3D cards, since they all may most likely use the same 2D core) as incompatible in 640x480 and 800x600. Trident TGUI-9680 works perfect in all three. S3 Virge DX works in all modes, but not if my GuS PnP is …

Hey, gona, I want to quickly add a report from myself (Voodoo3 owner) and an owner of a Voodoo5 I know. Pinball Illusions is unplayable on any Voodoo 3-5 in either SVGA mode. The graphics are scrambled and only show up at the top of the screen (both on CRT and LCD). My S3 VirgeDX, Trident 9440, …

Does anyone know if these can be made? I have a 1000HX I got from a friend, but lacks both. As a result, I would need to rig an adapted internal PC floppy drive in a not-pretty manner for it to work with the bezel. Also, the expansion area of the internals would be exposed.

Know I'm replying to a topic from last year, but might want to include the SVGA res for Pinball Illusions. Reason I suggest that, is to test how cards handle non-VESA SVGA modes. I can attest that from my personal usage (and getting tests from friends with other ones in this group), that none of the …

For DOS, I know there was bith VGA15, and another utility specifically for certain cards like the Voodoo3. It wouldn't run at 70Hz, but it did output the 15.75KHz HScan rate desired. The only issue is, games that used the Tweaked ModeX (in-game for Epic Pinball, Jazz Jackrabbit, and Extreme Pinball …

I believe earlier in the thread, someone posted a TSR called VGA240 that could be used. It converts the 70Hz 320x200 modes into a 60Hz 240p set. I understand how you feel, as the MicomSoft and StarTech devices do not seem to accept the 70Hz signal for some reason. I believe someone said that a few …

So, as the topic states, I get an unplayably-scrambled screen when trying to play Pinball Illusions in either SVGA mode on my Voodoo3.

If you are wanting an internal PCIe card, it is possible to score a DataPath Vision RGb E1s for under $170. Sometimes they can even be under $100.

Been testing the VGA2USB someone I know sent me. It seems to work pretty decently for what it's able to do. It does, however, have issues with some things like JROK's clones of Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man and the monochrome mode of the Atari ST line.

Curious, how does this affect games and demos reliant on the 70Hz refresh rate? I remember reading some programs have some sort of issue or another if ran at another refresh rate.

JROK's accurate clones of Pac-Man (Pac-Em) and Ms. Pac-Man (Ms. Pac-Em) run at what seems to be a scandoubled 288x224 mode at 56Hz if using the fullscreen option.

Yeah, it seems to be missing some chips on the 60l/SC512N1-DVI/L. I wonder if those chips might be how that card handles it? Sadly, that one guy on YouTube never responded.

The big thing is the 70Hz refresh rate. I believe that alone would make transcoding to component impossible. @bushmac Now that makes me wonder if the PEXHDCAP60L / SC512N1-DVI/L would have the same issue. Especially regarding games that switched to that tweaked 60Hz ModeX variant.
