The M3D is based on the PowerVR chipset, which is completely different from the Mystique. There is another previous model of the Mystique which runs on a 170mhz RAMDAC compared to the 220mhz the Mystique 220 runs at, but I have never heard it be called the Mystique 200. You sure you are not …

I can upload the Audigy 2 driver CD to Vogonsdrivers if that would be of help... but the login functionality doesn't work 🙁 (I've PM'ed Squallstrife about it, but no fix)

I don't know exactly the differences between the Mystique version and the retail. I tested it on a Pentium 3, and both the retail and Mystique version ran very good on the card. Maybe there are some differences on slower computers, maybe it's all a marketing thing. The Moto Racer version for …

Done with installing all the hardware. Some pics: Front of the case with the FAN control hooked up to front fans and sidefan (set to lowest RPM), temperature readers (mounted on motherboard and HDD) and the LEDs turned on. I've also connected the USB, Firewire and audio cables to the motherboard ( …

Wasn't the AX version the cheapest card of the 4000 series? Thought it was the 4000W32 versions that was the best ones.

It is certainly a good question what kind of acceleration the Matrox Millennium does with NASCAR Racing. In my video, both software and the Millennium version was captured with the Millennium, so there is certainly some kind of magic going on under the hood. The Matrox version doesn't run on any …

You need a box with power since it "copies" the signal to another output. I think the cables one only work if you have two outputs and just use one of them at the time.

More pieces of hardware going into the build: - Voodoo 2 SLI (for older games the GF6800 does not support, and GLIDE!) - Audigy 2 - Gameport bracket - 300GB Samsung drive Case has been cleaned and the fan control is working. Surprised to see the front case fans have blue LEDs.

In another post I wrote this which I think is applicable in this thread: Youtube have higher bitrates on HD material. If you upscale a 360p video to 1080p and then upload it on Youtube the 1080p version will look better than 360 or 480p in the Youtube player even if the original material was 360p. …

That is btw the 1-track version of the game which was bundled with the Apocalypse 3D (PCX1) and is the rarest. The 3-track version has a different PowerVR logo and has CD number: 10P59. I own both so can confirm this.

Thanks all. I should have updated that text some time ago. Gona sent me a PM about it some time ago explaining the PC SPK pins, so if I ever need to capture it I'll know how :) The ability of S-Video to just capture, regardless of resolution is quite handy. Booting, BIOS, Post screen, VGA game, SVGA …

The Mechwarrior 2 FAQ is correct. It's the same as the Win95 version. Also see this thread for more info: http://www.mech2.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=281 I own the Win95 version and it's definitely NOT Direct3D. It is DirectX2, but else it looks like it's DOS version, just that you can't run in …

hehe, in terms of quality it's not, but if it was just for testing the Tasmania it is a bit overkill and the cheap S-video solution would suffice. If you plan on testing Unreal Tournament it will come handy, as the quality differences between VGA and S-Video become greater with higher resolutions. …
