I tried a different joystick (Microsoft SideWinder Standard) with the same result. And I couldn't get the joystick port on my Sound Blaster 16 to work under DOS, so there's that. Anyway, I found somwhere in a support page that some games may have problems detecting the correct position of the …

I installed another sound card. A SB16, and now the joystick is not even detected. I think I'm missing something in the sound card though.

What computer are you using? What is your game port? You mention Windows, are you playing the Kilarathi Saga? Hello! Actually the computer is based on your retro PC tutorial video! It is an AMD K6 III+. Is Wing Commander 1 (GOG version), and lowering the CPU speed actually makes it playable, the …

hello people. I just bought an old analog joystick just to play Wing Commander but I can't get it to work properly. When I start the game the cursor drifts to the upper left corner by itself. I tried calibrating it with the Ctrl + J command with the same result. The joystick has two levers to " …

In the end I ended up getting my hands on a 4GB Corsair kit. I installed everything and several games had awful performance. A lot of stuttering, and sound "clicks". And I'm not talking resource hungry 2010 games, I'm talking 2000 games. Toughh it seemed more like drivers issues than anything else, …

OHH! I get it now! Sadly that's not the jumpers layout on mine 🙁 You've helped me a lot. This info may serve me for a future socket 7 motherboard purchase

Thanks! That was quick! I have one of those startech coolers.. I guess it should do. And I didn't quite get that last part. Do I have to measure the voltage directly from the motherboard with a tester? I'm a little slow, sorry. But anyway, if 2.2V is OK then I should just leave it there don't I?

Hello. I recently bought an AMD K6-III+ 450MHz from ebay, and it's core voltage is 1.7V, my socket 7 motherboard's lowest voltage is 2.2V. Can I use this motherboard with this processor? I wouln't like to fry them, since it wasn't that easy to find any of them. I searched an answer online but I …

Well. The only card installed during testing is the Voodoo 3. All the pci and the Isa slots are free. I think I already tried the reset bios option. The PSU is an atx 500 watts from an obscure brand.. But I didn't have issues with it on my previous build. What really bugs me is if anyone else has …

Thanks for replying. I'll give it a try tomorrow, I'm in a 24 hour shift at work now. Anyway I don't know if that's gonna help because I don't get anything after the pci devices list. Normally I would see a message stating that there's a device trying to boot. This doesn't even try. Not with …

Today I got a new motherboard for my DOS/W98 PC. It is a Chaintech 6AJA4, which I got because it has more features than the other one I own. It has a Pentium III 933MHz, 192MB of RAM, A Voodoo 3 and an 80GB HDD. It boots up, detects all the devices correctly, but it freezes at PCI device listing …

You should get it close to nothing. If you were close by, I could give you some for free :) I'd like to visit this old-memory-is-lower-priced-than-new universe someday. At work I'm helping "recycle" some computers. Which involves stripping them and sorting the good parts. It must be around 100 …

This spring I upgraded my C2D to 8GB DDR2. Two sticks are Samsung DDR2-800 and the other two are some generic sticks I bought from China. Works OK. Cheap as peanuts. I heard the chips are recycled from server systems, not sure if it's true though. Look for "DDR2 for intel", sticks for AMD won't …

DDR2? Should be cheap as chips. I'd go for 4 GB :) That's what I thought.. but the prices I found online are ridiculous (at least for me) or maybe I'm just cheap :blah: for 2x2GB DDR2 800 the prices go between 50 - 70 euros. The most expensive component in this build so far, which is the GPU, only …

Hello, I'm new here and I would like to know your opinion on the question on the title. I'm building an XP gaming PC for games from around 2000 - 2007. So far I got: - Asrock G41M-GS motherboard. - Intel E8400 Core 2 Duo CPU - Radeon HD 4850 GPU - Seagate 200GB IDE HDD - LG DVD IDE drive - 500 Watts …
