Working on getting a working VXD driver for Sony laptops with the 754 and anything helps. It’s all here: https://www.vogons. …

Crackling may be caused by too high maximum volume. Sometimes it's because driver allows to set the volume too high, when it was taken from another card. With VxD drivers you may fix it in registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\YAMAHA\Driver\YMF724\VolumeMax, or by YMF7x4Utilities. Sorry, but I fail …

Scaling on laptops lay on videocard, not the monitor. So 100% avoid Savage videocard, only GeForce (2805-402 and 603). Savage will be good for an external monitor since scaling there lay on external monitor logic board, internal will have horrible scaling. Windows stuff looks extremely bad in low …

Full Throttle (1.0) and Little Big Adventure. Is there any known bugs with them? I’m trying LBA on 2805 and 5205 under Windows 98 and after intro video game just closes. In native DOS it works fine. Full Throttle works fine both in Windows and native DOS, but it sometimes freezes for a 3~5 seconds. …

Bought a new screen for 2805. It was sold as new on ebay, the price was extremely cheap. No idea what I'll receive, but it was worth trying. My sample is already showing signs of degradation, the screen is yellowish.

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 …

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 …
