I see. The GOG release of Raptor is similar, it's a pure Windows game. Yea add it, give it an E plus comment, fill most cells with N/A to make it easy to enter. I might colour in the rows according to rating at some point. EDIT: I've coloured it it. The red ones will stick out now. I've changed The …
Re: Widescreen monitors and 4:3 aspect ratio compatibility thread

Benq and Samsung are brands I would lean towards. I've got a Philips with a dedicated 4:3 button, and I know of a Benq one. My Samsung screens have an OSD option. A great way to test is a simple boot floppt or CD with PCPlayerBench on it. It supports all sorts of resolutions. I've been curious …

With very cheap adaptors, always order 2 or more 😀 They can often arrive faulty.

Yea that's for another sheet :) I think let's see how this project develops over the next few months before we start anything new. Good question about games that come in the Windows version. On the one hand it's worth adding them, but on the other hand you don't want to many games on there that …

Gave up on 7th Guest. The game does work, but it has 1 CD Audio track on disc 1 and disc 2. So you play the game from HDD but got to swap the CD before you go up the stairs. Ended up buying 7th Guest and 11th hour on eBay :) Will enter them into the sheet, 7th Guest at least works, 11th hour has a …
Re: Connecting a Roland MT-32 and SC-55 to a PC with One Sound Card

I'm always wondering what the smallest active mixer there is that is good and provides 4 line ins (not necessarily mic in, don't care about those). Hmm, not small, but when I was researching I ended up with a model from Phonic. It's quite hard finding one with 4 Stereo inputs, most are mic / mono …

I made the CD for Blood, yes, it's for music only 😀 I got quite good at creating these discs 😀 I use an audio converter to conver MP3/OGG to WAV. Then InfraRecorder to burn the mixed mode CD.

Yea Medion for example made the Radeon 9800XXL or something like that. It's similar to the real thing, slightly different clocks and custom PCB and cooler.

Medion is a brand that Aldi sells. Double check the clocks, they often have slightly lower or higher clocks or other differences. Shouldn't be hard to find something on Google.

Yup many of us use those 😀 Just enter the following details manually: 1024 cylinders, 16 heads and 63 sectors. That should give you a 504 MiB hard drive. To use more, enter the above, and then use DDO software to translate and blast through the capacity limitations 😀
Re: The actual turbo button mhz changes

Really? I saw cases that had the front "mhz" led go from 33 to 16 with the touch of the turbo button. I thought It meant equivalent cpu speed to another slower cpu. Yea that's not how it works. The LCD display if cosmetics only. It has two states and you can configure what it displays with jumpers …

Yes you can do that. The SC-55 has RCA inputs at the back that get mixed together. Because both will play at the same time, when you want to hear the SC-55, you got to mute the MT-32 (turn volume to 0), and when you want to hear the MT-32, you got to mute the SC-55 (Mute all parts through the menu). …
