Gamepad for Win98 and XP
Posted on 2016-07-28, 15:21
Does anyone know if there is a decent gamepad out there that will work for both? My heart is set on the Xbox360 pad but I think it's only good for XP. Any suggestions would be welcome!
Rogue Squadron 3D camera glitch
Posted on 2016-07-27, 14:59
Running Rogue on a P3 450 and Geforce3 Ti 200 Win98SE. The camera keeps getting left behind when accelerating and sometimes the game doesn't play smoothly/gets the jitters. I know hitting F1 can temporarily fix the camera but wonder if downgrading my hardware would help. Thinking about replacing the …

I have the Ultra version, but yes I'll try one of these. Many Thanks!

Thanks but all that site has is a bios update. Will keep digging.
Hercules 3D Prophet II 64MB drivers

Having a heckuva time finding the actual Hercules Win98SE drivers for this. Would the Detonator series drivers be OK to use? Have no idea what release would be applicable.
Quake 2 video glitch
Posted on 2016-07-21, 16:48
Playing Quake2 for the 1st time on my win98 rig and on resolutions greater than 800x600 keep getting patterns of red dots on the screen. Maybe that's as high as it can go - using a Geforce3 Ti 200 & opengl mode not 3dfx. Anyone know if the 3.20 patch fixes this or another solution?
Re: Alternative to 800mhz slot 1 cpu
Posted on 2016-07-14, 19:15
So a SE440BX-2 will house a P3-800 with a 133mhz FSB? Wasn't aware of that, live in the US so shouldn't be a problem to find. Currently have a Geforce 3ti 200 128mb AGP for the graphics. Looking to run 1998-2002 era games, Star Wars BF1, Madden 2001, Half-Life 2 and etc. Locally there is a shop …
Alternative to 800mhz slot 1 cpu
Posted on 2016-07-14, 18:10
I'm about to give up on trying to find a mobo for my P3 800 cpu so looking for some different options. What about a lower end P4 (1.4 - 2.0 range) for late win98 games or some flavor of Celerons? Rather stear away for AMD stuff and focus on Intel for now. Currently running on a 450 P3 but the …
Submarine sims anyone?
Posted on 2016-07-06, 20:08
I'm looking to try out some "sub sims" and was hoping to get some recommendations. Will be running on WinXp or Win98 - say 2001-2008 for when the game came out. So far the Silent Hunter series is all I've come across and don't know much about it either.
Rogue Squadron & 3DFX Voodoo cards
Posted on 2016-07-01, 14:52
I was wondering if anyone knows if the graphics on Rogue Squadron look better with Voodoo 3DFX cards versus direct3D - say TNT2 for example.

Tried that on the desktop shortcut, no dice. Tried moving the opengl32.dll out of the quake dir and using the nglide app also no dice. Do I need to delete all the graphics dll's out of the quake directory?
GLquake & Geforce3
Posted on 2016-06-24, 18:23
I wanted to get Quake 1 running on my Win98 rig with higher than the default resolution. Here's my specs: P3 450mhz. 384 mb ram AGP Geforce3 Ti 200 128mb Win98SE So far what I've done is get the GOG quake for my XP rig but was unsuccessful in getting it to run at better than 640 x 480. My plan now …
Quake GOG trials
Posted on 2016-06-23, 17:23
Bought Quake GOG (never played Quake) to try on my new XP rig and for reason can't seem to adjust the resolution past the default 640 x 480. Went to the GOG forums and tried different ideas - using Nglide tool, set win95 compatibility, adding different parameters to the launch command line all to no …
Re: Best PCI sound card for XP

Yeah I'm open to any suggestions. Doesn't have to be a creative card, just PCI compatible. Might try out an Asus card for the heck of it.
WinXP SP3 necessary???
Posted on 2016-06-20, 23:26
Just put Windows XP SP2 on a new system and all is running fine so far. Do I need SP3 if I'm just playing games? Won't be getting online so security updates won't be needed - I think. Any thoughts anyone?
Re: Best PCI sound card for XP
Posted on 2016-06-20, 18:05
Yeah what I originally had in mind was the X-Fi Titanium which I got new in the box. But I'll have to wait and try it on a different board that has the room, for now I'll make do with the on-board sound.
Best PCI sound card for XP
Posted on 2016-06-20, 15:24
Now that I got my XP rig to post, encountered another problem. The PCI-e slot on this Foxconn board was put extremely close to the video card slot so the sound card is practically right up against the video card. Fearing for cooling problems, looking to put a good sound card in one of the PCI slots …

Good news!!! Bad cpu was the culprit. Slapped in a new one and the bios popped right up! Thanks to all for the troubleshooting tips!
Re: Help me Obi-Wan, your're my only hope!
Posted on 2016-06-17, 17:07
Mobo is supposed to be "new" out of the box. But if Foxconn is junk then should've done my due diligence. Having a hard time finding a mATX board that will take the cpu (at least on ebay). Can anyone offer any suggestions or maybe I need to go full ATX?
