Perhaps a V3 will end up in that box down the line then.

Apologies if this is redundant, I didn't have the patience to read the entire thread, but here's my knowledge on the matter: Generally speaking, these adapters will take anything older than a Tualatin P3, and some adapters (harder to find) will even take those. 866mhz is generally the max speed that …

So with an OC'd Pentium MMX a lowend V2 like this might be just about right. Thanks guys.

I didn't use a K6 (I have a K6-3 somewhere even) in this system because they feel wrong with simple integer-based apps - I think it's the micro-op translation deal. Anything newer than a P1 has it. Anyway.. I just won a Voodoo 2 (8MB Diamond Monster II) for $.99 + $6 shipping, hah. Most of the …

Where'd you find that PCI sata/usb/ide controller anyway - I've only ever seen PCIe versions of that.

I didn't know there were dual Socket 7 boards - that's awesome! 😁

My P5A refused to post with the chip - could you post your jumper settings? In the meantime I ended up putting it in my VA-503+ which accepted it much more happily. I tried every setting (this board goes up to 124x5.5=683mhz max setting). My process was as follows: I stuck the multiplier as low as …

The board I have is capable of going up to 120mhz. I will be overclocking this mobile Pentium shortly and finding out how high it can go. For all I know it might manage 420mhz. I want to play Gex, Unreal, Blood, Croc, Quake, Carmageddon, and just about every Glide game I can find that'll run on here …

The idea is to choose a Voodoo card for this system, not build a different system. I do have a 1ghz P3 box with PCI slots but no AGP, but that isn't the topic of discussion right now (though I have learned that a V3 would be appropriate 😜).
Choosing a Voodoo
Posted on 2010-06-02, 23:22
I built the ultimate Socket 1 486 box and now I'm on to my next challenge. While pushing the 486 box to it's limits I found that I really became interested in Glide, and wanted a box that could run Voodoo cards. I have a 266mhz mobile Pentium MMX that I am planning to OC the heck out of (300+mhz) on …

'Cuz VDMSound wasn't made in Python I believe. Anyway it won't "require Python" once I make the EXE version. Works great for me after hours of testing, though.

Please replace died.pyw with this new version 1.1 found at http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=xmgMk20a The old version used a really haxy trick to test if a file was a PE file which was very inaccurate. The new method is the correct one. This software is, as of this update, quite solid. I'll make an …

Re: Trying to choose an ISA video card...
Posted on 2010-05-31, 22:45
I'd go with a mid-range Cirrus Logic card. My 486 uses a CLGD5420 and it does everything up to Duke3D (though it lags in places on that due to weak FPU) just fine. I don't know exactly what year this card was released, but I'd wager ~1993, and it won't be overkill like some of the suggested cards …
Re: Found a Bug of some sort..

I agree, but it does work in DOS, so I'd imagine that it's the goal to have it also work in DOSBox - compatibility and all that. 😀
Re: DOS32A + Sim City 2000 = Fail when Zoom In?
Posted on 2010-05-31, 05:44
After bypassing the apparent crash DOSBox experiences when trying to install SimCity 2000, I tested it in DOSBox with DOS/4GW and DOS/32A and it does seem that DOS/32A is the culprit. I contacted the maintainer of DOS/32A and for now will just go with an older version of SimCity I guess.
Found a Bug of some sort..

If you try to install SimCity 2000 under DOSBox, it crashes the entire application (DOSBox, not the game) at the end of the installation process.
Re: higher resolution for simcity 2000
Posted on 2010-05-30, 01:00
You might be able to trick it into using a higher resolution by using a program like VBEPLUS to remove the lower modes, since SIMCITY 2000 uses VESA (or can, dunno if you're using it). With the lower modes gone it might use the closest it can find, i.e., 1024x768.
