Can you send us your changes for the inline assembly and the source code for the various mods you ported? I will add it to the git repository.

I was looking at getting some older CrystalEyes stereo glasses to play around in Duke3d and other games that supported it. You can find the transmitters and glasses relatively cheap on ebay. However, nobody seems to have the VGA cable with a 3-pin connector coming off it. Where would I find this, …

Cool man, let me know when it's ready and I'll donate to the cause. Would be nice to have a modern clone instead of hoarding GUS cards for the rest of my life. I've also noticed lately the cards are really shooting up in price ( saw a PnP go for $250+ a few weeks ago with nothing, just the card!)

While we're briefly talking about the source here is an updated Ultrinit I wrote based on the viprinit source: http://dk.toastednet.org/GUS/ULTRINIT/ULTRINIT_121114.7z This has a bit more verbose output which shows the card name, base port, irqs, dmas, codec (if available), joystick capability and …

Here is the gravis ultrasound drivers source code (from the Utopia project): http://dk.toastednet.org/GUS/SOURCE%20CODE/GU … IVERS_SOURCE.7z This includes the iwinit and the windows drivers so you should be able to found out how to talk to the IC and what it wants to initialize, etc.

The data versions for the source all require the latest versions that you can purchase from softdisk. I ended up having to spend the $5 to get my compiles working.

I also forgot to mention these compressed air lines for the paint booths don't seem to generate any extra static. You're talking about paint raw plastic bumpers where dust will completely attract right to it. On the other hand, they're controlled environments with special down drafts, or cross …

Now THAT I can agree with. I worked in a metalworking/electrical shop years ago and they had direct compressed air lines run through the factory, but I couldn't use them to dust out PC systems because the lines weren't completely clean and occasionally you could get a shot of some grease sprayed …

You can manually patch the catacombs files by using unlzexe and then using tppatch.exe. UNP may work as well to unpack it but I have not tested this. I am surprised at the flickering issue for a lot of people. The P2 400 runs totally fine with CAT3D (all games in the series) and this is with a …

1 Day i will hit it with a real deal air compressor. Don't do this--regular, compressed air can create static amidst the components and ruin something. Get several cans of canned air, which is not regular oxygen. Urban legend IMHO, please provide evidence. :) - Stiletto Where I work we have a …

The cursor has a bit of "noise" in it on a real P2 400 but the rest of the game doesn't flicker afaik. I've been playing this game for years on various P1 and P2 configurations and never noticed anything funny. There is also the possibility of loading the game with COMP sent as a parameter for the …

Oh sorry, I didn't mean to come across as a jerk. But yes, SBOS == No (and ViperMax made an effort to NOT include it); MegaEm = Kind of (included with ViperMax drivers). I also haven't found any issues with any demos thus far so I'd say it's close to 100% compatibility with any ultrasound supported …

This will change the PnP values of the ESS chip. The biggest obstalce is the ultrinit will allow values of like 210-250 for SET BLASTER baseport but only 220 will initialize. And since you can't use the original ultrinit to just set the baseport for the GF1 chip on the Vipermax you'll never be able …
