Shreddoc wrote on 2022-04-15, 21:20: Let me feast vicariously upon your experiences. For all the great things that a GUS can do, I rarely see people talking about its downsides. High Treason has an interesting video which covers some of those.

It's been years since I've installed GOG Bloodlines, but wasn't there a separate shortcut to launch the unmodded original? I think you're right about Bloodlines. Been some time since I last played it too. Having recently revisited both Thief games and Master of Orion 2, I know for a fact that you …

My take on GOG games: PROs : DRM free, which is especially nice for games which originally shipped with rootkit crap like StarForce Standalone offline installers. These make it very easy to transfer games to an offline WinXP retro rig DOS GOG games can be installed on a modern system (via included …

I do know that Splinter Cell technically looks as it should on GeForce 3 / GeForce 4 (because of the whole shadow buffers situation), but unfortunately it's way too slow on these GPUs (and even on FX). Heh, you just greatly diminished my interest in an FX5900 card. I was hoping it would be …

Re: I just realized that I don't have a Pentium MMX 233Mhz CPU in my collection

Honestly, I don't see the point of using one of those. It's too slow for Win9x games released in '98 and later and too fast for the most speed sensitive DOS games like Wing Commander, even with both caches disabled and loosened memory timings. Also, you will run into the dreaded "runtime error 200" …

My recommendation for GeForce 4 Ti cards (the AGP 4X versions) is the nVIDIA driver version 30.82. It's faster than Detonator 4x.xx and have had 0 issues with it, every game that I played / tested has worked flawlessly. This has been my experience as well. I use 40.72 for AGP 8x cards and 30.82 for …

So the one from second picture? I thought it's MSI (as seller said). Your seller might have some reading comprehension problems. It says Leadtek right there on the cooler assembly. :D Specifically, that seems to be a Leadtek WinFast A250 LE MyVIVO though the one in your picture is the 64 MB version …

what AGP graphic card will be good? I own Nvidia FX5200, Radeon 7700 and Nvidia 7200GS. :) Assuming you want to use those cards with a Pentium 3 for Win98 gaming, then the answer is none of the above. On such a system, you would get the best value for the money invested from a 128-bit GeForce4 …

Re: Has anyone else tested hardware that seems defective but comes back to life on it's own?

I had this experience again today with a video card. I had inspected it closely and validated that there was no physical damage. Booted it in a machine that was known to be working and got a black screen and no BIOS. Removed the card, stared at it for a couple of minutes with no problems to be seen …
