It's probably a 32-bit build, install the 32-bit SDL libraries. Of course. That was easily installed: apt install libsdl1.2debian:i386 However, further dependencies are required from Debian distributions no longer supported. libpng12.so.0 is the next dependency required, and that hasn't been …

Linux build. Please report if it crashes or loads incorrectly. Is there a static build of 4176 or later with saves states?

That homemade test bench is adorable. How did you decide to raise the board up from the base? Did you add rubber bumpers or standoffs? The base is made from 4 plynths (similar to the legs) that form a hollow square base. A thin layer of OSB board was then added as the base. The legs are made long …

I'm currently testing my ALive Dual which I acquired recently and ran into the same problem. My Samsung SSDs (830 + 840. Don't have any other SSDs.) also get detected as SATA-I and max out at 140MB/s. So it's not a defect on ChrisK's board. By sheer coincidence, I had started to test the very same …

I've been doing some testing on a similar setup after resurrecting my 15-year old ASRock ALiveDual-eSATA2 . Both the ASRock AM2NF3-VSTA and the ALiveDual-eSATA2 use the same nForce3 250 chipset. The fortunate thing for me and the ALiveDual-eSATA2 is, it comes with both an AGP and PCI-E slot, so I …

Thanks for comment. Honesty, I don't think I'd get 1 to 4 FPS with 3DMark03 using that configuration since I can watch TV by the Internet as same as I watch in my TV. Anyway I'll try that. I believe it's more interesting to use Windows 7 or 10 on that motherboard as you can use newer programs even …

Hi, I bought a new AM2NR3-VSTA a week ago. I updated the BIOS from version P2.10 to P3.30 using an Athlon 64 X2 2.4 GHz and 8GB DDR2 800. I installed Windows 7 Professional 64 bits successfully and works properly. Next I fitted a Phenom II X4 970 3.5GHz. I didn't use any additional driver, I …

It's not very often that these two cards get to sit together nowadays, or at least as much as I'd like them to. So, I thought I should take a photo opportunity while they are. They've spent a few days in my Dell Dimension XPS M200s, playing some classic MS-DOS games that take full advantage of their …

The first thing that stands out is some of the AGP cards you're using. All those cards (perhaps with the exception of the TNT2) are AGP 4X, and are likely to have 1.5V AGP connectors. I also own the P3B-F, in both 5 PCI / 2 ISA (v1.3) and 6 PCI / 1 ISA (v1.4) configurations, and AFAIK, the AGP …

Sorted - although this is 50% my fault for not checking EF2000 when setting the controller from 'Keyboard' to 'Joystick'. When that is done, the diagnostics test of the joystick will still fail, reporting "FAILED", but running EF2000 regardless, and the stick and throttle operate as normal. Strange. …

This is a strange one, as I've had this sim plus this stick and throttle setup working before. After installing EF2000 v2.0, I loaded the stick with the .F22 profile found on the CD-ROM. After then successfully setting up the F-22 Pro and the TQS in the EF2000 CONFIG.EXE, the stick and throttle …

No worries. Thanks for getting in touch. In the end, I decided to just try it out without drivers. I tried it out on Network Q RAC Rally, and it worked perfectly.

I don't understand why you want such a deep analysis of the situation. DIAGNOSE /S is NOT meant to be used with PnP cards that use CTCM instead. Period. Just remove it and move on.
