Posted on 2020-09-04, 13:17

About the MiniGL, yes it's a stronger AthlonXP box so that driver would be perfect for me, after downloading I only found DLLs in the package, the install instructions mentioned that it should have an installer exe which automatically detects the games so I just go an 1.48 version (what others …

I gave it to a friend that works in electronics repair service and knows his stuff... Seems like he can't fix it, says "it has a giant short on the card's 3.3v power rail, it gonna need something BIG to burn trough it. Probably something in-between the PCB layers. 10 amps from my bench power supply …

What about a (good brand) S3 Savage4? It is quite capable for up to 800x600 and suffers almost no penalty while at 32bit colors. Also, it has very good image quality (when a good manufacturer is behind it). A PII 450mhz, a Voodoo2 + S3 Savage4, 440BX chipset. Great period correct performer system ( …

Also I'm not so sure if thats the fastest 2001 gpu anymore, Phil's benchmarks found it to be, but Im not sure what driver he used for the GF3, we all know …

And most recent acquisition for this build is this Cooler Master ATCS-201 case, seems like this was the ultimate pc case in 2001, and had a price tag of over $500 back then. https://i.imgur.com/I5g8yaO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/LBhRAUo.jpg It's made out of thick sheets of aluminium so its pretty …

Re: Voodoo Banshee resolution issue

Hello again and thank to you both! The monitor driver is the one Windows 98Se installs by default, no issues there. I am certain it is a Voodoo Banshee. So does show the image captured from the application you, "darry", suggested: https://i.ibb.co/Df9DsVk/ID.jpg I noticed the "Direct X - not …

Voodoo Banshee resolution issue

Posted on 2020-04-06, 03:58

Hello again dear Vogons members. I´m having a weird trouble with my Voodoo Banshee. It´s an Ensoniq 9850, to be more precise. I can´t seem to be able to switch to 800x600, I am stuck at 640x480. Whenever I try to swith to 800x600 I am forced to go 16 colors only. I´ve seen this behaviour with either …

Re: About Voodoo 2 pass through cable

Posted on 2020-01-23, 13:30

Thanks to you both! I have read about what you, "The Serpent Rider" mention (just pluging the VGA cable to the Voodoo2 output after launching the game). That´s a great advice to just test the card, that I have forgotten about. However, I am looking for a more definite solution, so what you, " …

About Voodoo 2 pass through cable

Posted on 2020-01-23, 12:34

Hello again. Somebody is offering me a Diamond Monster Voodoo2, but he has no way to test it or the needed pass through cable. I do own systems to test it, but no pass through cable. Do you know if any female-male vga cable will do? or there´s a special pinout the cable must have? Thank you in …
