Got this purple ati 7500 for the price of the delivery (2 euros) and, I'm a bit stumped after looking at it more closely.... seems to be made in 2005, but its a 2001 model, why were they still making them in 2005? Also, heatsink seems to be oem and is glued to the gpu chip, but pcb has mounting …

Sure, I will share it as soon as I get back home. Remember to enlarge the holes a bit though. Also, make sure you have the same kind of 3.5mm jack, mine is a low profile one.

Back when I initially built my TubeTime Adlib clone I could not find a real Bourns logarithmic potentiometer. I eventually got one. I got around to replacing the cheap Chinese pot with the correct size not long ago, but only recently did I have the time to design an STL file for a bracket for it. So …

Added internal Line In and Line Out headers to a CS4236 ISA sound card I had (Acer Magic S23) so that I can use it alongside a PCI card in my Slot-A build. https://i.postimg.cc/xj5tx5bk/Acer-Magic-S23-Int-Header.jpg I decided to go with this instead of several other options that had real OPL3 …
Re: Adding a Fan to the Voodoo 3000? Powered by the card?
Posted on 2019-11-14, 14:07
That fan is too small, If you are going to mod the card then do it right so proper cooling is accomplished. A large fan that cools the entire board is a better solution. It might not look pretty but it will provide better cooling. Maybe an 80mm x 800mm x 20mm fan tide on with some thin wire. Rubber …
Re: Why do some YMF71x cards have two crystal oscillators and why do some have only one?
Posted on 2019-11-14, 13:59
33.8688MHz for 44KHz based rates, internal state machines, FM and SB section, 24.576MHz for 48KHz based rates only. If I want to use the YMF719 card as a companion to a more capable card only for its OPL3 Synthesis, lack of the oscillator becomes a nonissue though, does it not? It is merely a …

Why do some YMF71x cards have two crystal oscillators and why do some have only one? And why is (apparently) having both crystals preferred?

Just use the 12V and 5V on the Molex rails. Remove the cooler and replace it with a simple chipset cooler, stick it on with adhesive thermal tape. Voila:

Apparently it's by Crystal and Santa Cruz also has it in the drivers (dumb me) A video of recordings can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDX87rAfBLg It sounds very pleasing if I may say so. The DLS here can probably also be used with Aureal cards and their DLS Wavetable Synth as well. …
Terratec? Crystal? CS4624/4630 Software Wavetable
Posted on 2019-11-14, 05:33
I was messing around with some PCI cards yesterday to choose one for an upcoming Slot A build. I was going to go for the Turtle Beach Santa Cruz but then my soft side for Terratec took over so I decided to give their DMX Xfire 1024 a whirl. Interestingly enough, the DMX Xfire 1024 comes with a DLS …

SSI Goldbox Games
Posted on 2019-11-12, 12:21
Is there a new and updated engine for playing SSI Gold Box games a-la EXULT and ScummVM? While later games have had a lot of their quirks worked out the earlier games are incredibly clunky and inaccessible, I was wondering if there was a better way to re-play them..
