I have downloaded and tried to install this driver: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=301&menustate=0 It is supposed to be the Windows 3.1 driver for a number of S3 Virge variations, but it doesn't come with instructions. It has no installer, and when I try to add Not listed device in …

Thanks for the info on the graphics chip guys. Luckily I have my Pentium 3 with Voodoo card for 3D accelerated games, so I will keep this machine just for 2D games. Right now I am having an issue with the original 8 speed cd-rom drive not being recognized. I understand I need Windows to install the …

Awesome machine. I used to own one back in the day, together with a Cyrix 166 mhz pc, and I could never decide which one was faster and more suited for gaming. I thought the Deskpro with it's 133 MHz Pentium CPU, because Intel is better. I was still a kid. I even swapped over the 3DFX Voodoo card to …

So I picked up two Compaq Presario systems and a crate full with retro stuff. I already have my ultimate retro gaming pc (Pentium 3 with Voodoo 4500) but spare parts are always great to have, so why not pick those Compaqs up. One of them was just an ordinairy Pentium 3 Presario, nothing special. The …

Thanks guys. I got the machine here now, and yeah, no PCI. Oops. Have to find another way to hook a monitor to it.

I can't seem to find an answer to this. The closest thing I found is a specs website that just says that you can install third party graphics card in to a PCI slot. So my questions is, would any PCI graphics card from the 1994-1995 era work, or do I need a specific one that is made for Apple?

I have lots of trouble getting the original cd release of Mortal Kombat 3 to work. It seems like it doesn't detect my soundcard that works in other games. Sometimes I get passed the intro, and I hear some sound, even though it doesn't detect my soundcard in the setup, but as soon as I press a button …

Here is my humble collection of 1994-2000 era games that I used to love back in the day. It is a work in progress, and a nice start.

Is your CF industrial class? Then it shouldn't be much of an issue as they are designed for this sort of tasks. They can handle far more r/w ops than non-industrial. You say the swap file is set to a mechanical HDD. That's a good thing to expand lifetime of the CF. On the other side, it's a bit …

I see. Well, if you have a VIA chipset, you could still have the same problem as with 440BX. For example, VIA Apollo Pro+, just like 440BX, only has 1/1 and 2/3 AGP bus dividers. So when overclocking the FSB to 133 MHz, the AGP will run at 89 MHz. However, if you are on Apollo Pro 133, this one …

For late DOS and basically all of Win9x gaming the GeForce MX 440/460 is really a decent card. Riva TNT2 (Pro/Ultra) too, especially with your system, but again in my experience they're a bit more expensive, probably a bit slower on your system though slightly more compatible. Both are great and …

What a strange problem. Maybe the issue only occurs in the menus of some games because for those games/menus the frame rate shoots up? Perhaps enabling vsync might help in that case? But that wouldn't explain why it only crashes after 2 minutes. Thanks. Did not help. However, I installed a custom …

So I have this strange problem on my retro machine, and Need For Speed 2, High Stakes and Porsche Unleashed (2000) have this same issue it seems. First, my hardware specs: Intel Pentium 3 370 933 MHz 256 MB RAM 133 Mhz CL2 Windows 98 SE with only a few official patches (the unofficial patch always …
