Btw are there any other dos games that support power vr cards or is this the only one? , I'd imagine there only be a handful of them.

Later PC98 systems were basically just x86 Pentium machines anyway. Yes and not. Them still have the non-standard memory/interrupt/io PC98 magic, and its chipset is a NEC custom one which has support for CBus cards in addition to the Intel Northbridge bundled PCI controller (don't confuse with …

How is the phone wired into that? lol How else is he supposed to dial into a BBS? Ah man I wish I was around for the days of phreaking phones and stuff. I remember watching a BBS documentary where people they interviewed mentioned using 2600hz dial tones to get free internet. Then they'd dial into …

Re: Games that uses the CM-32L specific sound effects
Posted on 2021-12-01, 02:50
I wonder how hard it would be to mod a Roland MT-32 so that it would also include and support those CM-32L/LAPC-1 sound effects. I believe I remember reading somewhere that it was more complicated than simply reflashing or replacing an EPROM. I'm not sure why. Alternatively, perhaps it would be …

I get the feels thing but lapcs go for stupid amounts. And as far as I'm aware the lapc is basically a cm32l on a isa card , it more or less has the same control , reverb and la synthesis chips. We are just telling you this because its easier and cheaper to get your hands on something like a cm64 …

2 games at the moment 1: Callahan's Crosstime Saloon: Interesting adventure game from legend entertainment , very whacky and offbeat with a ton of humor and puns.

I've pretty much got everything I want , the only thing id really consider is CMSLPT for a couple of games , but even then I'm already running into conflict issues with all the different cards I've crammed into my Pentium 1 build.

Does anyone potentially know why my cd drive makes this noise at boot? It does it twice , also happens when I close the tray. I tried putting some lithium grease on the rails but it didn't seem to fix it.

If were showing ET6000's, this is my one. Picked it up last year. Can't remember what I paid for it but it wasn't that much, I think it was about $50 or so. I don't think it card is anything special but the 4MB is nice. I also have 2MB version by STB somewhere. PXL_20201224_031310515.jpg I have …
