There is also a VST plugin of the S-YXG50. Which can be used using Savihost and MidiYoke. And the mysterious S-YXG2006LE VST plugin, but without GUI.
Re: any DOS sound drivers/emulators for modern hardware?
Posted on 2010-10-25, 21:10
The Dos MP3 player MPXPlay works on my eee-PC netbook. That program has the code to access the hardware of many soundcards directly. But it is not a SBPro emulator.... Other than that I could not get any sound out of the netbook in pure dos.

I am suprised the old Quickshot warrior 5 is still supported: http://www.quickshot.com/gamecont.html#basic Played TIE Fighter and the other Dos games with that, and it is still alive, suprisingly. I also have this MS Sidewinder Precision Pro, with Gameport connector and USB adapter. A very good and …

Good info there. Anonymous Freak wrote: And of course, with Pentium II-III, the multiplier is set by the CPU ehh, not for all Pentium II's. Then why bother with a P-III 450 over a P-II 450? It only differs in SSE.

The DOS Collector's CD version is the best TIE Fighter experience. For me the most important thing about the this version is 640x480 resolution. I got a little spoiled to really appreciate 3D games in 320x200, it is like unsufficiently sharp. Gouraud shading was already present in the TIE Fighter …

I had most fun with the three below, But then it may be because of my interest in military history and machinery. Also I prefer "survey sims", which allow one to fly different aircraft instead of just one. Janes Fighters Anthology and its prequels (1994..1998). The first is for windows, but the …

It is hardware allright, the Midi Processor chip (CS9203) and the 1MB Patch ROM (CS4110) are visible.

Hmm, Now I see this is like the earlier card of crystalake, from before the 105 and 140 models. I did find a package at driverguide when googling CSACMOD1.EXE. Since my terretec meastro I kinda prefer wavetables in the form of daughterboards. Like the Dream 1MB wavetable on the CCWT card you have …
Re: Crystalake Crystalclear Wavetable help needed

I saw that auction too. :) I suspect the wavetable chip has its own interface to the isa bus, and therefore needs an additional driver next to the opti driver. It is like that with many dream wavetable soundcards: Terratec Meastro and EWS as well as Guillemot maxi sound. It is a bit troublesome …

The i440BX chipset as it is can handle 133MHz FSB fine. It is just that there is a missing AGP clock divider, the videocard AGP bus will get overclocked at these speeds. So it depends on what the videocard can handle.

usually they round down, like p-2 266 and the 66MHz bus. I like that Leadtek graphics card, look like it has 128-bit DDR. But the fan is missing, I don't think it is healthy to run with just the small heatsink.
Re: Which Pentium IIs can be underclocked?
Posted on 2010-08-27, 08:34
if they accept multipliers over their default of 5 then they would be completely unlocked. Yet I don't think they do. There is not much benefit in that anyways.

With many advances in a technological field, the earlier advances are more noticable then the advances thereafter. Not always, but usually it is like that. Also depends on how much is spend on it.

Ehm... So you're annoyed at having bought the wrong hardware?! I did not have much choice, it was like "get a mainstream CAD station for your assistant ASAP, similar to the one obtained a few months ago". This is what they had assembled at the supplier. The thing has 6GB RAM IIRC. I chose to …

Being kinda lazy in this regard I never felt like upgrading the Sempron/Athlon XP systems I use myself. they work fine for me anyways. I intended to wait until some new generation of hardware and software would come that would be a good improvement (quantum computer ;) ), and thereby allow me to …
