Re: best windows 98 agp card

Posted on 2018-03-29, 19:14

Yeah can't complain about the bandwidth there! Latency is an important consideration too though. I'm not sure how it compares there. That might be hard to compare to Intel because of the differences in how their CPU caches work. Anandtech actually shows SiS 735 SDR being superior. The chipset that …

Re: best windows 98 agp card

I've always considered those VIA chipsets from the era to be slower than what Intel produced at the time, the memory controller certainly felt like it was the bottleneck. If we're talking chipsets older than KT266A, yeah those have problems. Their AGP compliance is poor and memory controllers …

Re: Installing a GeForce 2 GTS 32mb in Win98 SE

Any sources for that? I'm using a GF2 GTS with 71.84 and did not run into any issues so far. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRhm4aGNI3o While I respect Phils' work, a single person testing such a thing on a single system does not backup the statement. The behaviour found may be caused by the …

Re: What was RBE=Radeon BIOS Editor ?

Posted on 2018-03-27, 19:24

Just download ATI Tray Tools and overclock with that. I used that on my HD3850 AGP and never even used to install Catalyst control center, just the driver. He cannot use ATI Tray Tools to overclock to 800MHz when the maximum allowed by the BIOS is currently 750MHz. He has to edit the BIOS of the …

Re: Updated List of Current Best Emulators

This is officially true, although I did successfully run Win98SE in VirtualBox a year or two ago in order to run some old telnet BBS software (modern Windows is unsuitable for this because a lot of BBS door games are 16-bit DOS programs). By not supporting Win9x I mean VirtualBox has no guest …

And, I take it, no support for GPU virtualization passthrough to the actual video hardware? Of course no :). Even VMWare added such feature much later. The emulated S3 Trio VGA reports no hardware acceleration at all to the guest WinXP. And XPMode/VPC emulates fixed hardware, you have no options at …

I wish VB allowed you to install guest additions with Windows 98 to create shared folders. I don’t have a usb and I’m doubtful I could figure out networking sharing so going to try the ISO route first and then hoping if I separate enough I’ll be able to email or upload them. Will the copy/paste …

What other community hacks are there? Are there others I could possibly try in case DgVoodoo2 doesn’t work before resorting to VM’s? There can be 'fixes' for individual games e.g. to circumvent outdated/not supported DRM/copy protection software or unpackers for not supported 16 bit installers and …

Without knowing what games and on what hardware you would like to play it's hard to give recommendations. The best option usually depends on the specific game itself. Generally for XP gaming real emulators (that also emulates CPU) like PCem and Bochs are too slow. When XP was released CPU's had …

Re: 3D Positional Surround Sound

Posted on 2018-03-23, 09:03

I'm about 20 years late to the game here. I recently finished Deus Ex and thoroughly enjoyed its use of 3D Positional Surround Sound while wearing headphones. (CMSS makes it even better.) To take advantage of this neat feature, your sound card must have an enabled onboard DD/DTS decoder and S/PDIF …
