Re: Think There's Still a Market for "Desktop Games"?
Posted on 2011-07-26, 02:13
That market has really shifted to mobile phones / apps. But for the desktop? This has been replaced with flash based games IMO. Yeah I think most people would just pick up their phone for a quick simple game or load up a similar web based flash for free like the ones on this website. http://www. …

Ah, nothing like the hair pulling experience of screen capping. I went through the same ordeal. Technically speaking, aren't the cards you listed mostly all 3rd gen cards? You may want to try MDK.

Re: Any 1280 x 1024 LCD that doesn't stretch 4:3 from VGA?

320x240 is 4:3 Hmm I think I'm confused now. Isn't this why DOSBox has the "correct aspect ratio" option? On CRTs 320 x 200 (THE Dos game resolution LOL) was "blown up" to fit the whole screen, giving you non-square pixels. But LCDs have square pixels. So if you see black bars at 320 x 200 …

[quote="Mau1wurf1977" Wondering how current models handle these 4:3 resolutions. Reviewers simply don't test this stuff anymore these days... What I will do if I even buy a widescreen for DOS, is just grab my netbook with DOS+games on USB and simply try it out in the shops LOL I bought a Dell 24" …

Played with the aspect ratios on the Dell 2007FP for a quick minute. Forced Win98 desktop to 1280x1024 with 1:1 mode and worked like a charm, nice and crisp. Quake in DOS in 1:1 mode worked flawlessly too, just tiny. :lol: Also I tried Quake at 320x200 in "Aspect " mode and filled the screen but …

I picked up a pair of Dell Ultrasharp 2007FP LCDs a couple weeks ago to go on either side of my Dell U2410. Native resolution is 1600x1200 and they are absolute beauties with their IPS panels. Got them off ebay listed as "new other", They arrived perfect in their original boxes but had been opened. …
Re: Ideal graphics card for Socket 7 setup

Using the cards that you have with that AMD 500, I would shoot for the Rage 128 and the Voodoo2. But if your in the market to buy, I would slap a Voodoo3 in there. It would more then likely be cheaper then adding a second Voodoo 2, but a pair of Voodoo's are tempting isn't it.

Yes, but you may feel somewhat snuggly and satisfied that you can "increase" the speed anytime you want to make it run at it's full potential. And it's like uh..."you-have-the-more-powerful-stuff-to-run-a-simpler-system" kind of feeling...something like you have a killer beast, that is under your …

I think the whole overclocking thing is a myth made by manufacturers. :happyhappy: I've overclocked every CPU I have ever owned (well except a couple AMDs that refused to budge) and they never died or slowed down. How long does it actually take to see the effects of overclocking, 20 years at full …

The nVidia Riva 128 was a good performer in 97' if you could find a card with that chip. Fast in DOS too.

16:9 is quite useless in computing... there's no enough vertical resolution to get any productivity out of it... 16:9 is a marketing ploy, not any sort of practicality 16:10 is the way to go, but it is also going the way of the dinosaur, otherwise 4:3 is way more useful How do you figure that? 1920 …
