Hey there good people!
I've been debating whether or not to start a new project and build a Socket 7 machine for my older games, DOOM, Ultima, those older fellas.
At the moment I have my trusty socket 478 P4 1.7ghz with 256mb RAM and my trusty(for now?) Soltek Intel 845 (Brookdale) board and my RIVA TNT2.
I have some problems running my older stuff, possibly due to not knowing how to launch the games properly with the configs and all that stuff (ems errors, sound problems..), I can play them with DOSBOX but I love to run them natively.
I found my Ultima Underworld 2 copy, with the box and the disks, and I wanted SO bad to install it and run it but I'm a bit scared to even try.
Any tips you can give me, or orientation? There are lots of posts on throttling, cache limitations, but I feel kind of lost.
I can buy a socket 7 board with a 233mmx and 16mb EDO ram for 50€ or something but I don't want to start a new thing if this one can work.
Thanks! 😀
