Re: Sound Blaster Emulator for Dos?
Posted on 2017-07-08, 23:35
A Soundblaster emulation with inbuilt FM synthesis would be like a holy grail for DOS, or even Win9x. It would make it so much easier to get a retro rig up and going since you wouldn't have to worry about ISA compatibility. Merely running DosBox on DOS would be interesting, but I'd be more …
Re: WinXP Boot.ini and dos 6.22
Posted on 2017-07-02, 04:13
Can't you assign the DOS drive as primary master, and the XP drive as primary slave or secondary master, then use the recovery console on the XP CD to set up a boot sector and bootloader on the DOS drive? This is of course assuming that BOOTCFG can detect DOS 6.22. I think the process goes something …
Re: Using an FX 5200 for old games
Posted on 2017-07-02, 03:24
Nice video! The crippled 64-bit, low clocked 5200 is absolutely terrible. It's worse off than an MX 440! People say that the 5200 Ultra fares much better, which would make sense since it has 3 times the bandwidth and is clocked significantly higher on the core, so it might be worth taking a look on …
Anyone know what this mobo might be?

This guy claims he had a 386 system that he eventually upgraded into a 486 DX4 100 using a socket adapter, and that he also installed a Diamond Monster 3D in it. This doesn't sound right to me, as that's a PCI card, and there weren't any PCI 386 boards to my knowledge. http://reddit.com/r/ …

The manual has some awesome flavor text on the rival syndicates. I actually laughed out loud when I read about the Tasmanian Liberation Consortium

Vaporwave seems like the type of thing people here would either love, or see as a derivative insult to 80s pop music. 🤣 (I'm actually in the former camp 😉)

Nope. I just went to double-check that I wasn't crazy and no, it's not possible, not even when playing the expansion content. The manual only indicates you can select individual units or the entire group. I went to double check that I wasn't crazy and it turns out I was. I did not recall correctly, …

I used to have tons of the stupid things. Probably one of the worst GPUs I've ever used. :x Poor Win98 support, poor performance for XP era games, there's simply better options out there.

I haven't played Syndicate in a while, but I'm pretty sure there is a way to select only two or three agents to give commands to. I'll have to fire it up again to confirm this though. Another thing, Syndicate is a game where I seriously recommend reading the manual if you want to know what to do. If …

The way I see it, it's too outdated to be useful as a day to day OS, and not outdated enough to be useful for running old games.

I don't see the point of using a Northwood Celeron either. Socket 478 Celerons are too slow to be useful for anything, and it's not like Pentium 4s are expensive nowadays.
