Re: My second rig, a Wings no-name

... I'm guessing the CPU heatsink is from some big brand OEM originally? DUDE! wicked heat sink? does it work well? The Slot1 CPU was apparently originally in a Compaq server. I bought it used and it has served me well. I have no way of monitoring the temperatures but there have never been any …

I have an actual Voodoo3 in the system. Full details can be found at http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=36550 It's a strange bug because no other games have any trouble using the card. Also, the game worked on this very system before the last reinstallation. ._. The second problem is equally …

Okay. [*]Under DOS, Day of the Tentacle first complains that it wants more RAM, then hangs on a note at the LucasArts logo. If this problem is not a base memory problem, I can help you this. Pure DOS with more than 32MB RAM always make troubles. I heard one solution is "OS/2 Installed - Yes" in …

Re: Unreal 1 and A3D cards.

in Windows
I suppose I'm SOL getting a A3D to work in windows 7 right? Probably. I understand there are no new drivers for Vortex hardware since basically the Win9x era. My personal experience ends with XP though. Haven't used anything later from MS. As far as Creative goes, they are dead to me now. All they …

in Windows
The setup crashes when it tries to detect if I have 3Dfx hardware. If I try to run the game without detecting the hardware it says a 3D accelerator is necessary and won't start. I suppose if I was just able to tell the game to use Glide (thru a registry change or editing a configuration file) it …

Re: A3D Demos refuses to install

in Windows
I've had a similar issue on Windows 95 with the demos just flat out refusing to install. I discovered that while nothing was being displayed the files were in fact copied over only to be erased after something goes wrong. I solved the problem by copying all the files from the target directory to …

[SOLVED] FreeSpace 2 woes

in Windows
edit: This is one of those annoying threads that doesn't lead to a clear solution - the problem with Glide detection disappeared after I reinstalled Windows and I never found out what the root cause was. One potential solution was posted over here . Original post: [hr] Two problems really... #1: If …

in Windows
I have the original Unreal here running on two different configs that both have A3D (one has Turtle Beach Montego A3DXstream and the other Diamond Monster Sound MX300). Both work great with 3D audio and Unreal version 226F. The only time I ever played with HardwareSound was with a SB Live! card and …

Nice hardware but I'm curious as to why you're running Windows 95 on a 1 GHz Pentium III? :D Well... it does sort of boils down to what I use it for (which is retro gaming). If I used this for pretty much anything else I guess I'd be dual-booting Linux. Out of the old 9x lineage Windows 95 OSR2 is …

very nice!!! regarding the keyboard, every time I see a pic of this IBM model I die a little inside... my ps1/pro had this keyboard and back then I binned it because of the noise it made... /ultra-facepalm There's a lot of hardware that I have a similar feeling towards. I even had the original IBM …

Your computer is probably too fast for running some older DOS games. I have a similar setup here (Asus TX97, K6-III/400) and I am using slowdown utilities (like this one http://bretjohnson.us/programs/slodn310.zip ) or disable the CPU cache. DOTT for example only runs if I disable the L1 cache. …

Enabled Plug&Play OS setting in BIOS (thus allowing Windows to set up the hardware). This again changed around the hardware addresses but I was finally able to get the AudioDrive to the preferred settings by manually setting PCI device IRQs in the BIOS (AudioDrive wanted to go to IRQ10, but not …

Okay. I feel like some progress is being made. Here are my observations: ...after removing the Realtek NE2000 compatible ISA ethernet. The AudioDrive in Windows defaults to IRQ10, DMA1 and base 220. SimCity2000 configuration utility detects the settings correctly but trying to run the game results …

in DOS
I've had similar issues tryting to get a TBSC working simultaneously with a Yahama YMF724 card. The SB emulation can sometimes be hard coded to work only with a certain DMA channel or PCI IRQ, and the other card can interfere. Try running only the ESS and pull the Montego. Also look for resource …
