Just use a VM with an older operating system. Please don't put this on the open web, though. We've got enough security problems on the internet already.

since the electromynie drama back in 2017 There was drama? They were his sponsor and I got a few great parts from them with his voucher codes. Good deal for me - I mean, a man's gotta eat. I agree that his latest videos seem very generic and uninspired though. That Audigy 2 ZS video seemed to be a …

The audio drivers have SoundBlaster emulation for DOS games within Windows. It can be enabled through the device manager.

It's because VOGONS runs on HTTPS, but the image is embedded via HTTP. So your browser doesn't load it for security reasons. I think that's been mentioned before, but the thread is already very lengthy and I can't find the post. It also seems like Chrome still tries to load the image via HTTPS …

A rise in interest of repairing old power supplies isn't neccessarily a bad thing. So much I can still learn about that. I'm looking forward to the future. 😀
Re: DOS/Win9x laptop - what specifications would be perfect for you?

IBM T22, but with a good IPS screen and a 3Dfx card. The rest of the specs are fine. 😀
Re: Installing MS-DOS on a CF Card

The .IMA files are just archives. You can extract them with a modern PC and 7Zip, for example. Maybe you can just put all the files into one directory on the CF card and run the setup from there?

Is there actual function behind the next rare audiocard you are on the hunt for or do you want it simply because others have it? Does playing retro games give you satisfaction by itself, or are you doing it because it makes you feel special? This forum and the rigs of other users surely had some …

Re: Is ebay the best place to get hardware?
Posted on 2020-01-16, 22:52
It depends where you live. I am from Germany and I can often find very cheap items on eBay. Even the usual 3Dfx stuff is still expensive, but not as expensive as in the USA. There are no real alternatives here. We have Electromyne but they seem to have already sold most of their valuable retro items …

Be aware that the T2x line has problems with their plastic frame, though. Especially to the right side of the keyboard. The small plastic bridge tends to break on these models, which in turn makes the metal frame of the drive bay break after a while, which causes the plastics around the hinge to …

I switched from a GF 4800SE to a Radeon 9500XT because that's actually running cooler and with better performance (Antialiasing, hooray!). I've yet to find a game it doesn't work with. So that's my favorite Windows 98 GPU, for now at least. (I'm sure there's something it doesn't run with and I will …

For hassle-free cards, you are best off with the following chipsets IMO: Yamaha YMF-71x ESS ES1688/1868 OPTi 82C928/929 True. Let this also be a quick reminder, that there are new drivers written from scratch for the OPTi 929 chipsets here: https://github.com/JKnipperts/OPTi82c929_Driver They fix …
