Re: What MPEG daughterboards attach to S3 cards?
Posted on 2013-04-21, 07:53
Back in the day I ran an original ReelMagic card on my 386/25 at it was perfect. MPEG 1 only for that board.

There is some disagreement on these boards but for my money with a board of that age I wouldn't recommend going with anything other than detonator drivers, the latest being these here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_45.23 http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_45.23.html

Hey I figured it out! Sorry there was no way anyone could have helped me with the information I had given. Apparently Dosbox has a problem with EVGA's precision X software. I had it set to target 60 FPS and that's what was causing the problem. So well if anyone has this weird issue in the future i …

A little more info. I spent some time working through a few theories and none of them pay off but I do have additional information. It has nothing to do with the midiman, even if I run emulated soundblaster sound it's still effected getting choppy and cutting out. Also I switched mice and I still …
Mouse movement slows down midi playback.
Posted on 2013-02-23, 17:19
I haven't had much time to try and trouble shoot this but I thought I'd throw up a question to see if something jumps out at anyone right away. Just recently I've noticed that moving my mouse around in a game slows down the midi playback through my USB midiman. I've had this set up for years and …

I've hit the DOSbox is the answer stage, with a usb midi interface of course. Though I still have dreams of setting up a nice 286 12 or some such for accuracy. The problem mostly is space really. If I had more space I'd probably have more period machines. To be fair I already have a fair amount, P- …

Re: Driver for external 5.25" floppy drive with parallel port
Posted on 2012-12-21, 21:49
Ah yes the mythical external 5.25 floppy. It really doesnt exist outside hardware for specific machines as far as I know. I would love to get a usb interface and enclosure for a 5.25" drive but I dont think our enthusiast market is big enough to ever see it happen.

This little bug in windows 8 seems like a good way to hide a keylogger. Since you cant get any info about it from the task manager. At least good as in you wont be able to tell what's starting up.

Looks like it's legit and according to cloanato a bug in Windows 8. Here's their response: Yes, our software works fine on Windows 8. And you are correct that the "Program" entry is for Software Director. This looks like it is in part a bug in Windows 8. The Startup entry we set uses an environment …

I have fired off a support message to Amiga Forever to see if they are aware and can shed some light on this. Will let you know if I can confirm.

Thanks for the feedback. I looked under your first location and found nothing but 2 ambx entries which I think are represented under the task manager. I dont have a Wow6432 folder in my registry though I am running Win8 64bit.

Little Update: I think it's for the automated update check for Amiga Forever. When I disable it a program called 'software director' which I believe Amiga forever uses to auto update doesn't run. Does anyone have amiga forever 2012 or any version with the software director and can confirm this …

Sorry guys this isn't a retro question but this place is full of knowledge and after searching in every way I could think of in google, I've come here in hopes of a tip to figure out what is running in my startup. I installed Windows 8 a few days after release. Just today in the startup I noticed a …
Re: Are any of these games rare? DOOM, LucasArts, Wolf3D, Duke3D

Truth is if your games don't have boxes you'll be lucky to get .99 for them. Unless they are the really uber-rare titles, which those are not.
Re: Mixing DirectX Versions (Or Rig Building Philosophies)

Personally in my experience nothing messes up a machine like installing older versions of Direct X when it comes to DX 8 and before. I've never had a problem installing the latest OS appropriate version and always telling installers to skip DX installation. If you dont do that eventually you will …
Re: what hardware were you using in 1999?
Posted on 2012-10-16, 20:58
Pretty sure I had a PII-400Mhz. But shortly after probably really early 2k I went PIII-800MHz. The P2 had a Geforce 2 Ultra in it, which transisitioned to the PIII-800, but the P3-800 probably ended its life with a geforce 3 ultra in it.
Re: Any ideas for a non-responsive 486 motherboard?

I didn't realise some boards won't even boot without it. I've never seen a board that won't even beep at me. I've never seen a PC motherboard exhibit such behavior either, but I guess it's possible... I know some of my old 68k Macs are finicky like that. I've seen this situation occur when the MB …

There's nothing wrong with any of the components. Sure the i7 920 is a little underpowered for the 690 but something is wrong with drivers or the benchmark and that particular card it seems. It performs like I would expect in real world applications. Like I said I tried it un-SLI'ed and it only …
