Re: Does moslo work as well as disabling caches for mid 90's fps's?

And SlowDown is free so why not give it a try before you take the plunge into MoSlo. I was also looking into MoSlow Deluxe mainly for the old Dynamix games like Willy Beamish. That game likes to run in fast forward and eventually lock up so it needs something to throttle it back. I'll give SlowDown …

PSA: If you own the ultima collection, you already have a registered version of moslo

I was reading their client testimonials, and it said that EA/origin bundled a free version of deluxe with the ultima collection! Though I guess technically, you're meant to still buy it for use outside of those games.

Really tempted to buy the full version since it seems you can just dial up any cpu speed you want on the fly. The full version does work with command line parameters, right?

Motherboard manual has pins to connect the switch but it's labeled as "function reserved". Followed by this: http://i.imgur.com/9FduDmo.png Unusual that it says not to use it when power is on, as the benchmarking w/o cache thread mentions doing this during realtime benchmarks. Certainly not going to …

On my p2-350 underclocked to 233, if I run topbench it wildly switches between saying it's a p200 and a k5 116, with one cache on and one off. What does this mean?

I get the no mouse detected error that comes up before the start menu, for some reason the "don't tell me again" option doesn't save. Didn't at least 98 come out around the same time as usb mice? I have an ms ergonomic keyboard with a 2 port hub and an original intellimouse explorer (which isn't …

Isa video card is glitchy in 486 and pentium board

In the 486 I'd get graphical corruption on the bios startup screen and the bios itself (like ascii/ansi characters all over), now I can't turn that system on, though I think it just finally died after being turned on and off too much. The pentium socket 7 board would not boot with it in at all - one …

regular p3 cpus have locked multiplier, for example your 700 is fixed at 7x, so the slowest clock for it is 66*7=466. the lowest multiplier for p3 is 4x clock of the 533eb, so the slowest clock you can go is 66*4=266. some(but not all) engineer samples have unlocked multiplier but i think the …

Disabling both caches gives a result of 386sx-33 in topbench, but with either one enabled, makes little to no difference. Winding back the settings to 233mhz in the bios, and dip switches, both fail to actually get a result of anywhere near 233mhz, with or without caches disabled. Maybe a p3 can …

How accurate is this whole "disable cache to get 486 speed" thing?

I've just been using topbench, as this isn't hugely important to me, but I thought some dos and early windows games would need some form of cache in order to run at the speeds quoted in topbench? E.g some games might run at 486-66 speed with cache disabled but some may depend on it and run much …

I'm sharing a single ide-sd card adapter between 4 pc's because I only have one sd card that's small enough (4gb). Dos obviously boots fine on any of them but I know windows won't allow this, or at least it will be pretty confused when it expects hardware that isn't there. Is it possible to install …

I managed to bend some pins while trying to put it in but none of them are squashed, they all seem to be making contact when I insert it in the socket. It won't power up, the only two things I can think of is that it was doa or that it needs 5 volts, not 3. It seems like I may as well try to run it …

You can convert sd/microsd to ide or sata, why not a usb stick? It's faster and if you want to transfer files, just plug in, instead of having to use a card reader.

Moslo deluxe lets you specify a certain cpu to emulate, can you do this with the 4biz edition? Moslo shareware only allows straight out program running, e.g no -file for doom, now command line switches, does deluxe have the same restriction?
