Fixing visual glitches on Toshiba 5205 (GF 5600Go) in DOS games under Win9x
Posted on 2021-02-10, 07:52
Long story short, I've got two units of Toshiba 5205, one with Geforce 460go and another one with Geforce FX 5600Go. The first one produces an abnormal amount of glitches in DOS games under Windows 98, FX one runs most of my stuff perfectly, but still few titles struggle to show some parts. I assume …

517W4DV7PGL._AC_.jpg Despite I've found a perfect retro laptop (Toshiba 2805), I'm currently busy with Toshiba 5205. It's a AC97 laptop with Geforce 5600Go. Reason? Gorgeous retina-like screen. It's a 1600x1200 resolution 15 inch panel with almost no sign of wear. It's bright, it's colorful and it …

That's okay, Ive modded them myself and the setup was working (I love installing stuff via official exe). Though it didn't help me, this laptop can't run DOS games properly for some reason, many of them have artifacts. Maybe Toshiba altered smth, I dunno. Quick example: https://youtu.be/temDvlb2QV0 …

I've got an extremely DOS and Win98 unfriendly laptop - Toshiba Satellite 5205. It has GeForce4 460 Go. Usually, I just add the device ID into NVAML.INF altering the closest to my videocard line and that's it. But not this time. Here how XP driver looks like: 7uG8-eFeToI.jpg So it's NV17 and DEV_ …

Well first of all i can assure you that both N400c and N600c work the same way, so it's okay. I'll bring my n600c and re-check how it should work.

Also, the modem slot is different and usess another type of connection (I've got 401 model and can compare). Maybe they are using another revision of geforce 2, I …

I need some additional testing, but looks like 320x200 doesn't produce such glitches, I only see it in high resolution. Both in native dos and win 98. Warlord, did you test it in 320x200 or higher?
