Re: 3dfx bars

Thanks a lot! Messing with the phase settings and then forcing auto-conf solved the issue. Tomb Raider and Battle Arena Toshinden work fine, monitor reports 640x480 60Hz. They aren't artifacting or crashing at all too, maybe my Screamer 2 installation is borked.

Re: 3dfx bars

Yep, happens without loopcable too, auto-adjust doesn't help either. Picture is from an Acer 17" LCD monitor. Haven't tested on a CRT yet, though.

3dfx bars

Got myself a Diamond Monster 3D 4mb PCI with a knocked capacitor which got replaced immediately, and decided to use it with my P100 build for DOS Glide gaming.

Re: What Piece of PC Hardware Have You Owned Longest

in Milliways
A plastic SL27J P200/MMX which used to reside in the PC I kept the longest time as a kid. Somehow, while everything else (motherboard, cards, etc including the AT case) got tossed away, this CPU survived in storage, all alone, with no bent pins after all these years. Found it some months ago …

Re: Well, should I ask this girl to coffee or not?

in Milliways
Just build a slowish DOS/Win3.1 Socket 7 system for your gaming pleasure. Pentium - better than sex. And I'm dead serious on that. ok, maybe not, but you get the point ;p Who needs girls anyway? They seem to understand our hobby just as much as we understand their obsession with cosmetics... And …
