I've only had PCX2 freezing by too-fast PCI timing.
Re: Configuration for games after 1996?
Posted on 2018-01-15, 19:45
A Voodoo3 (or some decentvideocard + Voodoo1) with AWE64 would relevantly cover a lot of ground for the "after 96" period. AWE64 in particular as you'd want clean sound to go with those SF2-using games (FF7pc etc). OPL3 music was in the minority in this period so don't take those insistent YMF262 …

I thought of a similar idea for PCem last year but as to booting a computer straight into a single PCem configuration with a minimal LibreElec core and the configuration remotely configured by SSH (no gui). The application of this is limited without real disk drives however though (especially when I …

^ This is true. Hasn't stopped people from trying to reimplment the filter in software though. All I know is that SUPRGRAB and Hypersnap DX implement the 4x1 filter (the latter has a nag watermark and isn't actually very precise at filtering) Reproducing the filter effect was once a passion of mine …

The PCIe->AGP bridge on the HD radeons tend to be really hit-or-miss though, needing special hotfix'd drivers and not having the same reputation for performance or stability as their PCIe cousins....

FWIW, the V+ are at least compatible with stock Trio64 drivers (and are intended to be according to their tech papers IIRC). I have a V+ but I don't own NT 3.51

Hm! From the 98-datecoded chip alone I would've assumed a PowerVR SG prototype board.

Unreal doesn't really need an install though. One could just copy the folders directly from disc and run it from there...

Before this thread existed, the only way to directly buy the games from Epic was to order through the epicclassics.com site.
Re: Starting PC with DOSBOX instead of Windows 7
Posted on 2018-01-07, 05:51
Windows 7 doesn't have DOS (being NT-based and all) so no. Also please be aware that a "DOS box" used to generally refer to MS-DOS running in a window (which Windows 9X could do) and DOSBox is the name of an emulator that tries to be the same (but is in no way representative or an actual DOS …

The installer on my copy of HL works absolutely fine on 7 x64..... and it IS Installshield-based. (HL GOTY should be 1.0.0.9 from Sep 1999 at the latest fyi.)

Vulkan has more potential for low level fakery of the Voodoo chips themselves, though I can't imagine that on zeus' roadmap (dithered mips, etc)

The Geforce2's image quality isn't too great compared to the Voodoo3 either. Again, this is not about 3dFx VooDoo Grafik Superiority but about their VGA output (and this is disregarding V3's filter) Also this depends on the games you're planning to play. A Geforce2 with your specs would mean for …
