Guys are you serious? Rare? Cyrix 133mhz was one of the el-cheapo 'pentium imitations' back at the time and a lot of my friends used them because of the price. Most of them (CPUs, not friends Sticking Tongue Out ) ended in garbage - which must also be a reason that there are very few of them around …

If you are using gameport, then stay away from all 64bit windows OS!! Gameports simply don´t work with them. Getting gameport functioning with 32bit Vista and Windows 7 is also a bit of a hassle, but in some cases it is possible. I would go with 32 bit Windows XP Pro, since it supports gameports, is …

Well, Windows 98 isn´t OFFICIALLY tested with newer versions of rivatuner, but from my experience version 2.24 works still fine. Seems that last version of Detonator drivers was v45.23 available at http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_45.23

I don´t think it has 2 bioses, but I think "VGA BIOS V01.03.2002" is simply the card telling its bios version date, rather than version number. I think my GeForce 2 card does the same thing. I´m not really sure about most of that software, since I have always used ATI cards on my new computers, and …

I don´t know about that issue with dos version, but you can download GTA for free at http://www.rockstargames.com/classics/. Rockstar did something to those versions that gets them working on new windows computers 😀

Seems like some motherboards with Intel 810 chipset also had those SB-Link connectors, that might be a good thing since I don´t think I have seen isa slots on those mainboards...

Quote from wikipedia: A fourth version that arrived later was designed around the PCI bus. It offers the features of the original ISA AWE64, but it has the PCI interface and is built around an even more integrated ASIC. This made the board even more compact, and thus cheaper to build. Unfortunately, …

Try playing it with ScummVM, might be easier to configure? http://www.scummvm.org/

Hmm... I reset dosbox config to default just for testing purposes, mounted the cd and installed. The setup program on the root of the cd drive was giving me some problems, so i did cd dossetup, and ran setup.exe from there. Choose your language from the menu and then go to select sound card on menu, …

Works fine here, hard to help you really if you don´t tell us anything about your config for dosbox and game. Also pc specs would be good to have for determening why it runs so slow. One problem iI myself noticed with Theme Hospital is that I couldn´t get the general midi option working for music, I …

Dos games are uninstalled by simply removing the directory where they are installed, at least that is what I have always done and never got any problems.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions and help! :) Unfortunately I haven´t got the time to test any tips yet, but will try them all when I can. As I said, the windows desktop looks just like it should on any resolution or refresh rate, and the problem only appears in games. Dos games i can understand, …

I am using Windows 98SE on the deskpro, monitor drivers didn´t come to my mind tho, because windows detects the monitor as SyncMaster and lets me select the resolution and refresh rate normally. When starting Fallout monitor osd says it is 60hz refresh rate, same as it is on my other computer. I …

I´m using it with a 19 inch Samsung SyncMaster 957p, which afaik should display the modes correctly, or is this thing too new for some dos games? Fallout btw plays great on this monitor on my other pc, so at least it should work with older comp too? EDIT: This screen does 160hz on 640x480, should be …

Hi everyone, I´m having some problems with my retro pc. I have a Compaq Deskpro computer with ati xpert@work (3d rage pro) video card. My problem is, that this card doesn´t seem to support almost any display mode starting at 640x480 and up. In windows the picture is all good, but when launching for …
