Bought this to straighten the pins on my next project. Use a Potato knife, much cheaper, very effective. Depending on the CPU, a mechanical pencil with the "lead" removed, and steady hands. Even cheaper. However, works better for P4 and above though (maybe P3) depending on the gauge wire used for …

Oh yeah, don't get me wrong - I love Marvin, and if I had the funds and space I might be collecting too, or else getting what I currently have in storage running again. It's incredible the amount of information that has been discovered. Just imagine if this forum existed during the 90s with all the …

Do you think it will be possible to raise output resolution for old windows games with locked resolution? Example: Typing of the dead (locked at 640x480) My guess is that DXGL won't make it possible (and in most cases it isn't possible), but perhaps he will offer your choice of scaling algorithm …

Anyone tried it? Any issues with a setup.lid not found? If no, does it need a specific environment in order for setup to run? I had no trouble installing and running it on my old XP laptop (Dell Inspiron 700m). However, there were graphical artifacts caused by incompatibility between "Isle of Morg" …

and isn't this a site dedicated to that or did I somehow miss something? Technically, no. It's a website dedicated to getting OLD games running on NEW systems. (Back when "systems" meant PCs and "new" meant Northwood P4's and Athlon XP's running a NT-based OS like Windows XP.) Hacks, patches, and …

It has been a while since I have paid any attention to this thread. I did not consider VogonsDrivers since the intent its almost polar opposite of that of the wrapper collection. VogonsDrivers is mostly for drivers of old hardware and the wrappers are for compatibility on new machines. Though I …

Is there any SGI OpenGL for Windows DLL newer than 1.1.2? So far I have 1.1.0, 1.1.1, 1.1.2... It's really cool that it supports 8-bit color at a much higher framerate :) 1.1.0 can be found in an old Cosmo Player (and also that older 1999 CrimeCities Demo) 1.1.1 can be found in the SGI OpenGL for …

Are you going to create a repository for this? Perhaps using a Wiki to include information of the files. That's the plan! I thought I mentioned this on the first post or first page. The files are all currently on VogonsDrivers as a stashing place, just in a private non-web-facing area. If you want …

That's a brilliant insight on the 3dfx emulation!... A MAME developer posted about alpha blending problems (a possible cause of the broken text) and other anomalies which were related to DMA transfers to the V1 in emulation. As usual, if there's actual bugs to resolve upstream, please let me know. …

It looks like the third or fourth Google search result should have it on their FTP server still, if someone has access they should be able to put it somewhere else for you.
