You're a game hacker when you are the one creating the hex edits from scratch. Enjoy learning though

Google picogus ne2000 I found a few things discussing it working but no software.

Perhaps it's the writing ability.

I'd be comparing the inf files for differences in the reg keys added for the quadro. Then comparing those with the current registry.

Did you notice all the corrosion on the PCI contacts? If you use a pencil eraser to clean that up it may work fine. If there are any stubborn "chunks" you may need to scrape gently with a tool, just be careful not to damage the contact any more than it already is. seen the corrosion, I will try to …

I realise I'm late and haven't read the whole thread, but I got nfs porsche 2000 running on w10 via the nvidia voodoo wrapper whose name I forget right now.

Anyone know what PC this motherboard has come out of? I can't seem to find it on Theretroweb. It does not look like standard AT or ATX, so I doubt it can be put in anything except maybe a custom made case? So I guess it's from some kind of OEM? Compaq or HP maybe? Doesn't look like IBM to me.. Gut …

I think you're barking up the wrong tree with the hex editing. I'd try dxwnd because its memory emulation hooks and exception handler are likely to make it work without modification. The other option is the windows compatibility toolkit. I can't say much more than that. The local expert I'm aware of …

You're going to have to put more effort into explaining what happens and what you've tried. Because right now it reads like the classic "it worked fine yesterday!" which is true of literally everything that dies - including people. Eg Error message? Compatibility modes tried? What on earth makes you …

Thanks. It's been a long time since DOS. Do folks think I can partition current cf/Win95 into two partitions, install Win3.1, and load either one at c: prompt? No real reason to partition. Just install 3.11 to a different directory. If you have to, temporarily rename the windows directory so the …
Re: Intel wants to drop 16/32bit. A possible opportunity...?
Posted on 2024-05-09, 15:39
Despite the lack of positive feedback, I've updated the concept a little. The CMI8330 is apparently more compatible than SB16. Only 3 hardware IP vendors would be needed. Intel, Nvidia, C-Media. Estimated die area ~15mm2 (based on intel 14nm presentation 43,500,000T/mm2)

Most of you are probably already aware that intel wants to drop the legacy 16/32bit modes from future CPUs. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/envisioning-future-simplified-architecture.html I think this could mark a rare opportunity, if a community like Vogons …

Saw this card in a flea market. My brain just went "it's an ISA card, must buy". It looked like a serial port interface, and the fact that it has a Z80 CPU made it interesting. Paid 1€ for it Upon closer inspection... I don't know what it is. It only uses 7 contacts of the ISA slot (haven't yet …

Re: Clever / hacky usage of the ISA modems?
Posted on 2024-05-06, 15:15
Small discussion starter from me: I wonder if it would be possible to play sound with ISA modems and some fancy custom TSR/drivers? No technical reason why not. It IS designed to create sound waves after all. The quality is likely going to be crap due to the restricted audible range of phone lines …

Huh? Is the OS booting or not? If yes, then that will be in regedit and it will be set to something like "a:\" The only other suggestion I have is to replace c:\windows\inf\layout.inf with one from the cd which is probably in one of the precopy.cabs Ideally you rename the original first.
