Thanks for the info guys. I asked here because this one of the more recent mentions of Interwave / GF1 compatibility and ISA speeds. Won't OT the thread any further.

I recommend to you, run on a period correct pc first (mostly they are slow - 10-20fps was normal). The normal gus classic also important, the guspnp plays sometimes differently, with different speed, and the demo is timed to the music. The late demos support directly the interwave. Another issue …

That's what I first thought, but you are actually right, my other Toshiba Tecra with 800*600 panel does scale to fullscreen. But I've had a 1024*768 Thinkpad that scaled just like this Siemens does. Perhaps it's due to panel size. So do you think it is possible to change this behavior? I am not …

The BIOS will set a 400 line resolution, no matter what you do. No TSR will influence this. I've just checked the CT6554 hardware register document. http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.369.9368&rep=rep1&type=pdf Support for 1024 panels is mentioned, as is stretching. There is an …

Yeah, this is normal behaviour because the TSR preserves the aspect ratio of the original resolution. Afaik, it can only scale neatly between resolutions that are multiples of each other, and since 1024p is not a multiple of 320p, you get the borders to make up the rest of the screen space. Ah, on …

I know FastTracker II uses a 640x400 mode... Perhaps it tries to maintain square pixels or FTII uses some video signal trickery for its timing. Can you try Wolfenstein 3D? It has become my test game of choice to test videoscaling on my videocard.

Can you post a pic? And your 800x600 application is full screen after using the TSR?
Re: Cropped screen

The BIOS screens will remain cropped as the TSR is loaded after that. Try VEXP M2 to see if that gives you full screen in DOS. Scaling graphics/text mode are seperate functions of the video card.

Had a Gravis Gamepad (dogbone) for years, never had the diagonals issues with it. I thought that was a problem with the Gravis Gamepad Pro (the PSX controller lookalike). I've tried some 15-pin gamepads over the years but most of them are kind of disappointing when you're used to console pads: - The …
