i bought the nx6125 around 2006, so it was already there. i know that native dos is not the way to go, but win9x RETRO gaming is the goal, no doom3 or whatever, no pixelshading etc. therefore the x300 is a really good one, only the sound could be better. but i think i should go for the docking- …

i currently use my old nx6125. sometimes i get digi-sound with dos (running win98 dos fullscreen) mostly I do not get sound on dosgames. there is no fm-sound either. the lpt port is only available when using a docking station. the display looks good to me, the gfx (x300m but shared) is really fast. …

ACE and AWE64G do not work together :( The Joystick of the AWE64Gold seems to be at the same address of the gus-ace. But the GUS ace is working fine with 260,3,3,3,3. While Taking out the GUS, everything is OK. Changing the AWE Joy to 208, then everything is OK. But after some reboots the joystick …

is it really a (big) difference if you have dip-switches for the chip, like the PC-II/III have, or if these settings a controlled by the-pc bios if you need the software or TSR to switch it in an other mode staying with the bios-settings and the rest of the hardware like the monitor. This must not …

Let us go back to the Paradise PVC4 Chip... For me the most interesting thing is using hercules-mode and hercules monitor, but running cga-titles without emulation. The AT-Small-Wonder has such a Solution with a tool named "MS.COM" which sets the gfx mode. Does anyone know if there is an equal tool …

Thx scali, that would be a killer-feature :). So I only need the tools for that paradise chip. It's a Paradise PVC4 38307c, the same chip is used in a commodore PC-10-III and labeled "AGA" Graphics. Perhaps I can get the Paradise Tools from that machine... https://www.flickr.com/photos/94839221@N05/ …

wow that's cool. That means dip-switches stay hercules, monitor stays hercules, but software emulates and displays CGA...that's cool! no ghosting, no scanlines, wow that's REALLY cool. ...but useless for my euro pc with HGC/CGA Paradise-Chip 🙁

Hi scali :) Great that you do thing's for hercules. I'll too. My machine is EuroPC(I). Plattform TASM1.02 (Speedware). Goals: 1. Getting Hercules-Demo Codes working 2. Converting existing CGA-StarfieldCode to run directly on native Hercules instead of running it with CGA-Emulation on Hercules. 3. ? …

SNES works on my Celeron433 but only for the Dos-Emulator. Win9x-SNES is to slow. Sound stutters, gfx stutters, but for Dos It's OK.

Good point. Perhaps I get an 8800/8900 in the near future. You won't believe what that small machine is capable of 😀 btw. I believe Sagent does not have a "SVGA-Fix" ...but I'll check this later...

Then you will have to set the timeline higher. For your demand (Morrowind) you probably need a card with pixelshader-option for the water. Wrong timeline with wrong hardware. Turok e.g is glide optimized (1+2), therefore the v2-sli or v3 is a good choice.

JazzJack Rabbit 2 is a platform Game and "Platformers" have to scroll smooth. ...because every-one that comes fromthe homecomputers (AtariST,Amiga, C64 etc.) knows what SMOOTH scrolling is, but on the PC smooth scrolling is VERY rare. Look Trine etc. micro-stuttering, or full stutteriung BÄH! …

I noticed Problems with V550 and V770 in my PII machine. Only the V330 was OK. Please do this test: Install JazzJack2, reduce to 640x400 @ 8Bit and activate "Hardware-Acceleration" Does it scroll SMOOTH or not? I tested several Gfx-Cards, only the V3 and the V330 (Riva128) scrolled smooth, all …

Did you knew that the Lemming-Cracktro by Razor1911 works with such a Low-End-Machine? It's really fantastic...I should make a (low-end) video of this running on 286/8/ET4000.
