For using my primary PC, I stick to 1080p. Never been interested in trying 1440p and 4k resolutions. Mainly because I've been happy with my 144Hz 24" Samsung Monitor which can go up to 1080p. But who knows? If somehow my monitor starts to crap out then I'll might try out a 144Hz 27" as a upgrade. …

I recall using something like Norton Commander at one point, I think that's the one with the floppy disk screensaver if I'm correct. As for multitasking, I don't think DOS is designed for multitasking and even if there is, it probably isn't the best (correct me if I'm wrong.) As for data, if it has …

What processor does it have? Though I would say that virtualizing Windows XP isn't entirely a good replacement or alternative to using real hardware, especially with 3D acceleration. In the case of not finding much use for it, If it were me I wouldn't recycle it but rather part it out or give it …

I've used Windows XP on VirtualBox (either with 5.2.44 or 6.0.24) with 3D acceleration under VBoxVGA. It was decent. Not entirely the best, but it was decent. Interesting to hear that VBoxSVGA has more performance but I don't know how long VBoxSVGA existed, I could imagine it wasn't compatible with …

It was an apple port design, contemporary with early power macintosh, and very late '040s. adapters exist. https://www.ebay.com/itm/323722527296 Ah yes, I currently have one that came with my AverKey iMicro allowing me to hook up the iMac G3 to another monitor or a capture device. I guess I could …

This has been something that makes me question if that is even possible. https://i.imgur.com/EotGejJ.png I was browsing on eBay for vintage all-in-one Compaq computers and happen to see one of the listings (it's a Compaq Presario CDS 520) having a DB15-to-VGA adapter plugged into the gameport. If I …

I was tinkering around with Visual Basic 4 (on my Pentium II 450MHz machine with Windows XP) attempting to make smooth movement code. It didn't work 🤣

Nice to see more people trying out ipxbox and the uplink feature. I would've tested more of this myself but one of the communities I am part of (DOSBox Deathmatch Club) have moved to Classic Gaming Arena for convenience reasons. Speaking of CGA, I will also say that there is an upcoming Windows 9x …

Haven't been caught up on the pages yet but I do remember enjoying most of LGR's content but never got around to watching his content in a long while. My interest regarding watching videos about vintage computing has shifted a bit towards other channels like BlastFromThePast, Bits und Bolts, a some …

I'm not entirely sure if it has something to do with a Windows Update or not but I am getting visual artifacts on Direct3D 12 playing Unreal Engine games (haven't tested it outside of Unreal Engine games yet) A friend of mine who was running Windows 11 at the time also had this issue but it ran away …

Is there any solution that currently works for bridging DOSBox players with DOS/Win9x-players? ipxbox claims to be able to do this , but so far I've been unable to make any headway with it. Confusingly, there are also multiple forks: https://github.com/fragglet/ipxbox/ https://github.com/unterwulf/ …

2024 - Update Turns out I didn't need to disable the W-Buffer in RivaTuner, but rather change the 16-bit W-buffer format from fixed point to floating point to fix the graphical issues in Unreal. However I don't think there's something like RivaTuner let alone an older version compatible for Windows …

Not sure if this is the right topic to bring this up in, but I am having some trouble outputting 720x400 resolution on my Gefen EXT-VGA-2-DVISP. It keeps outputting it as 640x350 instead of it's intended resolution, I've tried resetting it, switching PCs with different graphics cards and hooked it …
