Re: Windows 95 OSR2.5 vs Windows 98 SE for a 486 build with 32MB of ram
Posted on 2020-12-07, 01:06
The 1 MB L2 cache of my 486 covers full 256 MB in write through mode. more cache than many s7 boards, impressive. With 8 MB... well, maybe the original release of Windows 95 would be acceptable, but not for running anything bigger than Minesweeper. well, i had running windows 95 osr2.5 on my 386 …

i think the fan is always running at max speed is a standard fan that sits on top of the heatsink, if i connect it to the cha_fan connector it spins the same speed anyway in bios there are no options for adjusting the fan speed

Re: Crashes and low fps on three different machines
Posted on 2020-04-06, 23:35
that would be right but... I've tested my gf 6200 512mb agp on all 3 pc and it worked flawless, same drivers, same windows, same games and benchs (i have a ghost image for each machine in my nas, so I've tested with basically a windows reinstall)
Crashes and low fps on three different machines
Posted on 2020-04-06, 22:16
hi, i have 3 machines that share common problems: -3dmark 2001 and newer crashes (3dm01 in point sprites, for example) -UT99, Unreal gold, and other UE1 games of the era have extremely low fps in D3D mode -Counter strike source (older build) crashes when starts rendering (at the beginning of a match …
Re: HID compliant game controller (USB) driver for Windows 95?
Posted on 2020-03-22, 18:19
i really doubt that, the hid driver only supports standard mouse and keyboard, bear in mind that usb was created in 96 but really started to be used in the late 99
Re: HID compliant game controller (USB) driver for Windows 95?
Posted on 2020-03-22, 17:51
windows 95 doesn't support usb out of the box, the supplement gives the system the capability to see and interact with such hardware, but drivers incorporated into it are very basic, hence it causes bugs and doesn't support correctly some hardware that is slightly different to the original spec. if …

well that's how composite cga works, it uses ntsc artifacting to enable more colors on screen is more or less the same method used in other machines such as the Apple II series (the Apple II GS only in the compatibility modes), Atari 8 bit line of home computers and so

in my experience, both unreal engine 1 based games (unreal, ut99 and so) and both serious sam TFE and TSE tend to have problems with multiple cores/threads: -ridicously fast timing (game seems to run crazy fast but the fps aren't as high) -bad or wrong framepacing and heavy stutter -low framerates …
Re: I got another batch of retro goodness!

4) A 286 computer I think it's a custom build, since there's an extra HDD LED cable from the case which doesn't fit anywhere in the board, however it sports a whopping AMD 80286 cpu, 1 MB of ram (which I wanna upgrade) and every port comes in its own ISA card, even VGA (maybe I'll try it on my old …

i think yours is the same half life version as the older steam version but patched. it's the version that comes packed with pirated counter strike 1.6 in a lot of web pages you need the WON version that has full support for 3dfx

1. It's possible to make a cache board I think, just need to find the correct cache chips. Someone made detailed scans of the cache module here , but no-one's done this yet. It would require tracing out the PCB and making gerber/PCB design files to get some replacements made up. from what i can see …
