Hello folks. So my "new" AWE64 value arrived today, and I spent some time getting it set up. I'm running into two problems now: 1) I don't have any upper memory at all 2) I can't get FM synth to work in DOS Here are the bare-bones config files I'm testing with right now: Autoexec.bat @ECHO OFF SET …

Yeah, that's what I saw, but I couldn't get it to do anything beyond the "select a game" menu. I'll investigate more when my AWE64 arrives; right now my retro PC doesn't really have DOS-compatible sound.

This is a handy topic, as I've started doing something similar for my "new" Retro PC with my previously purchased DOS GOG games. For the bin/cue/ogg (or game.gog, game.inst) things, I found that ImgBurn handles them perfectly as long as you have the Vorbis DirectShow filters installed. You just need …

This should be all you need on Windows XP or 7: http://www.nfscars.net/porscheunleashed/file/9927/ If you are running on Windows 8 or newer, you will also need some way to get back to 60 fps. I just used nGlide and forced the game into GLIDE rendering mode. There may be other solutions; I know I've …

I think it was just the StarTech one.

Strangely enough, I didn't see a …

I'm Not apologising for thread resurrection here due to the following information.. I got my Logitech G25 working very nicely in Win98se with the Logitech LGS460 drivers. Does anyone have a link for these drivers? My initial searching is not coming up with anything. I have a Driving Force GT, which …

I bought this adaptor on eBay (also from China), primarly so I would have access to the card, without taking up a front 3.5" slot. http://www.ebay.com/itm/291008485015 Compact flash cards I used were SanDisk Extreme 8 GB (with UDMA) for Windows 98 and Transcend Ultra 1 GB Industrial that I'm saving …

I just did a search, and the ArSoft AR RAMDisk is only for Windows NT series OSes. As for wear leveling, I'm certainly not planning to fill up the drive, though I did not actually 'reserve' space in my partition table to support this. Overall, I'm not too concerned about normal write performance, as …

You can try adding ConservativeSwapfileUsage = 1 to the [386Enh] section. This will prevent Windows from paging things to the disk if preemptively, so it should at least reduce how fast it wears down your CF. Another thing you can do is to ensure the swapfile is as small as you can get away with. …

Hello folks. I've recently set up a retro PC booting from a compact flash to IDE adaptor. All is good, except I'd like to find some solution where I'm not worried about Windows wearing down the write cycles with virtual memory. Disabling it entirely is no good, as this causes weird behaviour in some …
