So there is no way to run 3d acceleration and use sidewinder gamepad ? I don't know; you probably need to install the Sidewinder software so you can program the buttons (for Windows). However, if you can get ahold of the 2004 version (which you can find in Archive.org), you can use the Sidewinder …

Googling a bit more, I found one comment in a old thread that the Glide acceleration is really available only for DOS ?? Can it be ??? I own the Classics Collection Collector's Edition release version from 2004. The Readme says: Voodoo Graphics (3Dfx) Users ---------------------------- GTA supports …

When you ran FDISK, did it first ask you about how to treat unrecognized partitions or something like that? Nope, It just displayed a single line telling me C: cannot be reached or is unavailable. I am not sure about the exact text because I am away from home until Sunday. Ok, first we need to get …

But before formatting, I forgot to tell you to run FDISK first. Right now my problem is that running fdisk I get an error telling me no hard drive is installed and cannot continue. I need to find a solution to that before following your steps. I am amazed by your willing to help. Sunday I will be …

Formatting a disk in windows 10 won’t work. The boot record is different, and it won’t set the partition as active. You need to format inside DOS based system like Windows 9x for possibility of bootable drive. (Or 3rd party partition manager.) But before formatting, I forgot to tell you to run FDISK …

It's normal not to see the drive during POST for this board when setting manually. It only lists what it automatically detects during POST. My board behaves the same. We both have P17 BIOS (just FYI). Did you reformat the drive? Don't use any special switches. A basic format: FORMAT C: /Q /V: With …

Please see the screenshot. I knew I missed a few steps, but it has been a while and I've only ever needed to do this once, haha! Set to "User" Drive size is then shown (8000MB or something close in your case) Disable LBA You should be all set.

Finally, go to the IDE config section and manually set the drive to whatever is listed for your CF model. I think you’ll be able to set the drive size, also. I followed your steps and now I need to enter the parameters here. As Primary IDE Master I need to select IDE Removable I guess? Then all the …

The plan is with slot 1 to replace the p4. Like i told, the most demanding games which do not run on my main machine demand max 350 mhz. So everything else above runs there. Simce a slot 1 kombination is quite sensible on prices i think i stick to it. Do the sd rams also have to be paired? No, a …

Slot 1 will usually have SDRAM, but EDO can be found without too much difficulty. Wikipedia says even FPM is possible on early 440 chipsets. I say build with what you have, and if it doesn’t meet your liking, look for upgrades. I find the P1 to be underpowered. A slot 1 266mhz PII will probably be …

Anything that can handle DX11 is inflated a lot of DX 10 GPUs are too even tho they are less useful they can handle basic gaming, this is how it is with GPU shortages people are buying what's available and will run the games they want to play even if its old GPUs.

It’s not the adapter. It’s the BIOS. It is what makes more sense. It looks like the card works but the windows installer does not know what to do, returning all kinds of file system errors during disk check. I will focus on the bios and let you know how it goes. Thanks! Follow the steps I listed …
