Seems that my problem is similar to this: Dyna Blaster - joystick only works in menus (stops working in game) Unfortunately no solution is listed on that thread 🙁

Tested with two ISA sound cards: Yamaha YMF719E-S, ESS AudioDrive ES1869F. Sound actually works great with both cards.
Dyna Blaster on Super Socket 7 with K6-2+
Posted on 2020-03-21, 10:51
Hi guys, Did anyone manage to make Dyna Blaster work on a K6-2+? I tried everything... running on Windows 98 DOS mode with/without expanded memory, multiplier 2x (200 Mhz), disable external cache from BIOS, disable l1 / l2 cache... still nothing. After all these modifications, I get 10 - 12 FPS in …
Re: 5.5 multiplier / 2.0V settings on DFI P5BV3+ rev. A motherboard

Update: Found this one (for Rev. C) and I compared the settings and they seem very similar: https://www.manualslib.com/manual/816826/Dfi- … ?page=15#manual I will try and play with it as soon as I have some time.
5.5 multiplier / 2.0V settings on DFI P5BV3+ rev. A motherboard
Posted on 2020-03-19, 15:59
Hello, Does anyone have this board either working with this multiplier/voltage combination or a newer manual revision for it? The manual that I have lists the 2.1V setting as being the lowest and 3X multiplier as being the highest. However, I've seen on 20 year old forum threads that higher …
Re: Sound blaster issues with Yamaha YMF724F-V PCI & YMF719E-S ISA in Prehistorik

Thanks, Joseph, but I actually tried this with the ESS AudioDrive card, without success. 🙁 For now I have only one card that is compatible with SB in this game (and it's a PCI card): Creative Sound Blaster Live 5.1 SB0100. This one works on any IRQ including 5 and 7.

Just tried an ESS AudioDrive ES1869f ISA sound card - same thing. Adlib is working, but SoundBlaster still not detected... For other games the SB works perfectly. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something but can't put my finger on what that might be.

The Celeron 300A CPU with disabled L1/L2 caches is definitely not fast (I would say that its below a 386). I also have the correct SETBLASTER variable in autoexec.bat. I have the ESS Solo 1 sound card, and that one works OK. Also have others, like a Creative Live 5.1 with SB16 emulation which also …
Sound blaster issues with Yamaha YMF724F-V PCI & YMF719E-S ISA in Prehistorik
Posted on 2020-03-05, 18:18
Hi, I have two Yamaha YMF724F-V PCI cards which I tested in Windows MS Dos mode, and for the most part they work really well (in games such as Doom, Wolfenstein, Duke 3D, Lemmigs, Monkey Island). However, I can't seem to make the Sound Blaster work in some games like Prehistorik. Even though I …
Re: Tualatin board with SB-Link connector
Posted on 2020-03-02, 18:26
Adapters that adapt voltages for Tualatin CPUs exist, like the Upgradeware Slot-T (for slot 1) and the company Lin-Lin also has some products (S370 -> S370 also). Hard to find and expensive though. You might also need a new BIOS. It will give you real ISA slots though... Yeah, there's even the guy …

Yeah, saw the list but I wasn't sure if it was updated or not with all the findings 😀
Tualatin board with SB-Link connector
Posted on 2020-03-02, 11:25
Hello guys, Does anyone know of a FC-PGA2 Tualatin board with an intel chipset (although, I guess I wouldn't say no to one with a VIA chipset), that has an SB-Link / PC-PCI connector? I'm pretty sure the Tualatin Intel boards don't have ISA slots and from what I know having this connector on a non- …

Yes, I'll probably use a modified Hiren's BootCD in the end.

If you really need older versions, the official Memtest86+ site has versions all the way back to v2.00 at http://www.memtest.org/. I already tested the versions from memtest.org, but even v2.00 is quite new, from 2008 and it didn't work. I'm talking about v2.xx from the original memtest86 (the ones …

No, ran memtest86 from DOS (without Emm386).
Old memtest86 needed for K6-2 CPU

Hello, I had some stability issues (that I since managed to diagnose using the AIDA64 stress testing) on my Azza PT-5VMD + K6-2 combo, caused by incompatible RAM modules. However, initially I wanted to use good old memtest86.. so I tried various older versions of memtest86 / memtest86+ and they all …

Well, here's a good one... I thought I'd try something different, so I benchmarked an ATI Radeon 9600XT using the Catalyst 6.2 drivers on Windows 98 (never actually owned an ATI card before, except for ATI Rage II 4 MB - probably one of the worst video cards to ever hit the market...). And, just for …
