Hi, I've been searching for a while for a way to 100% be able to capture DOS games in DOS mode, and I watched the video about the retrotink 4K and it seems like it works amazing. I don't care that much about the 4K but will need to make videos in 1080p somehow. The price tag, though... $750 is a …

But now I don't understand: Are the screenshots you sent before also from the 3dfx version or are these from the regular? The 3 screenshots are from the European version 2.0 running FAT3D.EXE If you use the high resolution version with SVGA, then I have something similar. But that is because the …

Are you using the normal version of fatal racing or an inofficial 3dfx patch? If you are using the latter, you can post a link on where to download the patch and I can test it (if it is compatible with the 2 german versions I got) I understand that these unofficial patches are designed for Voodoo 1 …

I've tested START65H.EXE and START65L.EXE, both working fine in both DOS mode and Windows 98. I loaded only the cdrom drivers, no univbe or other vesa fixes. I used the original cdrom version and 1.11 patch. I also have artifacts in 3dfx mode. 20240417_172000.jpg I do own the german copy (its …

I have a problem with Voodoo 3 3000 and Fatal Racing, for some reason, a part of the image goes off the screen and the game looks greenish and dark. On my other 1280x1024 5:4 monitor I was able to fix it using Vbehz but with this 1024x768 4:3 monitor I couldn't, after running Vbehz, the image looks …

I just tested screamer 2 with a voodoo 3 3000 AGP. It works flawless without any additional drivers, voodoo 3 is notorious for supporting vesa 3.0 in bios. I have bios version 2.15.07-SD (latest bios for my card), if this helps. You should probably try to update your bios, even if you have the same …

I am using a K2+ @200 MHz, I had no stability issues with any other game so far. And as mentioned it does work with the Floppy version. So I can't really nail it down to a single thing. CD version crashes on both cards, so it can't be the card. But because it works with the "floppy" version, it …

I might have found a solution again. I took the floppy version of the game. Then I copied over all the ANI and VOC files from the CD Version, and this seems to work without crashes (note that the unmodified files work with the SB Live card). So it might be that the crash is inherent to the CD …

Some turn of events unfortunately, despite what I wrote before, it still does not work.

Which of thhis file did you use? There are 5 files. None of them worked for me, but at least I could start nailing it down to the one which works for you. Yes, ESSCFG is initialized with A:220 I:7 D:1 B:330 J:D SETBLASTER had not been defined before on ESS, I did add it, but it didnt change …

And this way also works with ESS drivers? Yep, all good, sorry for the confusion. Ahh, it's good to hear. BTW, I think you need MIDITO -lock=DEF,VO,FM at the worst case. That is lock all defaults + Voice and FM. But be aware that this is a problematic setup for many other games that want to use …

Ok, I did some further testing, and it seems like it is not the Unisound. Because once you start modifying different sub-values you run into the same issues. But then I seem to have found the solution. MIDITO -lock doesnt actually lock everything, but only a couple of things. So what you would need …
