Re: Low level AWE32 drivers - needed?

Posted on 2022-10-23, 06:49

I have created a mutli-config.sys with various options such as "full AWE32" and "basic AWE32" which determine whether or not ctsb16.sys, ctmmsys.sys, and csp.sys are loaded All you really need is ctcm and aweutil (probably aweutil /s if you don't need General MIDI compatibility). With aweutil /s …

Re: MS Cabinet files under MS-DOS

So, I manage to use HIMEM AND EMM386, but, I must compress some drivers files to increase my floppy disk space. You mean, even after compressing everything you don't need in your config.sys, you still cannot fit on a floppy? In such case consider switching to a bootable CD. It emulates a floppy and …

Re: Need for speed 2 SE shaky cockpit

You are correct. I was just looking at fast speed, and didn't notice that shake while turning. Let me try turning in Windows 98. Who knows, it might just have been an original game bug that nobody noticed, let ne see... The excessive shaking also happens to the car itself when in outside view. So …

So not Ryzen-specific (even Core 2 Quad is affected), happens on both AMD and nVidia graphics (but in software mode it shouldn't really matter), not Windows version specific (at least Win7, 10, 11), using a VM doesn't help, and somehow the problem emerged only recently (no existing info, and I …

Don't those games support AWE32 natively? Then they shouldn't require AWEUTIL's emulation (besides aweutil /s …

What is your hardware? I can confirm this is happening to me on Ryzen 5600 with RX 6600 XT, and on Q9550 with HD7850, but not on T4200 with intel graphics. Windows 10 on all three. It's weird that I haven't noticed this problem before. Happens both on Glide and software versions, patched, with …

What use D201GLY2A? - PCI graphics card suggestions

Posted on 2022-09-21, 18:40

This is D201GLY2A mainboard and 2 GB RAM, removed from a mini-ITX chassis that's gonna get all new modern(ish) guts. The integrated SiS graphics is not very good and works reasonably well only under Windows XP. It didn't work in Linux with acceleration last time I checked, is buggy in Vista, buggier …

Adhesive heatsink fell off - Radeon X1950 Pro

Posted on 2022-09-18, 18:55

I don't really know if this card is working, I don't want to risk it without the heatsink which I found inside this long unused PC... So this heatsink used to be glued to the pink foam, which is about 0.5mm taller than the chip in the middle of it. The glue seems to be of adhesive tape kind, but …

Trying to run Tomb Raider III: The Lost Artifact on a Ryzen

Posted on 2022-09-15, 20:34

in Windows
I'm trying to run TR3: TLA on my Ryzen 5 3600 + RX 6600 XT, Windows 10. I've already set MMX 0 in config.txt, without it the game will crash when entering main menu (this is because the game attempts to execute 3DNow! instructions, which are not supported on Ryzen CPUs). But now the game is crashing …
