I finished putting together the P4 build this weekend and it's running great so far. I had a few issues fitting everything in such a tiny case, but it all worked out in the end. Here's what I ended up assembling: - Asus P5P800 (LGA775 Intel 865PE) - Pentium 4 HT 670 3.8GHz (LGA775 Prescott 2M) - …

For a pentium MMX there really isn't any reason to go faster than a single voodoo 2. From what I remember the Voodoo 2 is fully featured for DirectX 6 and compatible with directx 7, which is well beyond anything you would want to play on a socket 7 PC anyway. I would pair it with a S3 virge DX or …

Can you think of any problems with using the FX 55000 aside from it obviously not being period appropriate? For pure DOS gaming, it should be fine. However, if you want to play Win9x 3D accelerated titles on that card (without the Voodoo), performance would be suboptimal on that system. In short, …

That looks great to me. You'll be able to play pretty much everything from early DOS titles up to moderately demanding 3D accelerated games such as Quake 2 on that rig. Some Windows games released in 1998 and onward (e.g. Half-Life and Unreal) might be CPU bottlenecked though. As for getting a 2D …

hrottle slowdown utility is used. OTOH, I didn't encounter any such issues when I slowed down my Pentium MMX rig using only SetMul. I just went through my parts and here are some components I'm thinking about using for a Socket 7 build: - Pentium 233 MMX (So7) - ASUS TX97-X (So7 Intel 440TX) - 64MB …

I just put together the following: - Asus P5P800 (LGA775 Intel 865PE) - Pentium 4 HT 670 3.8GHz (LGA775 Prescott 2M) - Nvidia GeForce FX 5950 Ultra (Zalman FS-V7 cooler) - 3dfx Voodoo5 55000 PCI - Aureal Vortex 2 8830 (Diamond Monster Sound MX300) - Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS - Yamaha PCI YMF724F - …

If you already have the making of a Pentium MMX I wouldn't worry about OPL on this. For my P4 Win98 rig I kept it simple and just have the Audigy 2 ZS. I'm not saying the Audigy's implementation sounds great but it does the job. But something as fast as a P4 your probably going to be mainly playing …

I'm planning on using this rig for late-80s DOS games to early 2000s Windows games. That's an excellent Windows 9x rig, but it won't be so good for DOS gaming due to a couple of reasons. First, some DOS games are speed sensitive and the slowdown capabilities of a Pentium 4 are limited. You might be …

I finally have room for my retro PC again, so I'm taking some of my favorite (hopefully) compatible parts out of storage to assemble my (ultimate) Windows 98 machine. I'm planning on using this rig for late-80s DOS games to early 2000s Windows games. I have a number of options to choose from and I'm …

Thank you Sarah! All of your work over the years is massively appreciated.

I'm trying to launch Tomb Raider II (Steam version) and getting the following error. I first used your tool many years ago and it worked great, but I'm returning to it now and can't seem to get it to work. The errors I'm seeing are below: --------------------------- injector.txt …
