Hello,
I just got a relatively cheap, fanless, brand-less minipc from Aliexpress that has this old Celeron 2955U CPU.
It has Haswell graphics, apparently.
It's ALMOST good! It has some good things going for it in regards to native DOS:
-DOS boots natively: has good CSM support.
-EMS works perfectly well with EMM386 and JEMMEX!
-SBEmu works! So yeah, it has OPL and digital audio in DOS games and programs!
-Scrolling registers work well: Prehistorik 2 scrolling map is flawless, Superfrog works perfectly well, Jazz Jackrabbit also works well... That sums up my "test suite" for games which ask good DOS support to the hardware and it passes them all! Wow!
But here's the catch: it insists on using a 60Hz mode for 320x200 games, so some games like Lemmings 2, Tyrian, etc.. have slow music.
I know that there's the VGA60HZ TSR: https://github.com/wbcbz7/dos-vga-tsr-goodies … /master/VGA60HZ
...But what I would need is the opposite: I would need something that tells the CRTC registers that 320x200 IS a 70Hz video mode!
Is there such a thing? Can you guys shed some light here?
Thanks!
