I've starting building a machine to relive some games of my youth! Idea was to make something that would wreck anything 3D, and not care too much about DOS compatibility. Definitely not an original idea, but its fun!
Specs:
Asrock 775i65g R3.0
Intel Pentium E6800
256mb x 2 random sticks of RAM (2x1GB sticks are on the way)
BFG Geforce 6800 GS OC
Aureal Vortex 2 SQ2500
64gb SD Card + SD to IDE Adapter for Windows 98 Install
MISSING: Hard Drive for XP. Soon hopefully!
SONY DVD-ROM IDE Drive
This random weird beige case
SeaSonic SS-400ES Bronze 400W
Now unfortunately I'm pretty much an idiot so Ive had some issues.
First off, I think the videocard I got is totally cooked: http://i.imgur.com/pAXxvIC.jpg I cant install any Nvidia Drivers because it says it cant detect any Nvidia chips. It shows up in devices as "PCI VGA" even though its in an AGP Slot. Im assuming this videocard is just toast.
And as far as drivers, Im doing ok until I try getting the LAN working. Using the CD provided by ASRock, it basically fucks up my whole install. Ive reformatted now, so I dont even remember what the error was 🤣. Any tips from my very vague descriptions of what Im doing? Anyway beauty shots coming soon too.
