Re: Corruption issue when using rloew's TRIM.EXE (TRIM utility for DOS) with FreeDOS FDISK 1.2.1/1.3.1 partitioned DISK

The next retro machine I have to get Trim working is my Windows XP one. Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2 Chipset + SATA controller: Intel H61 SSD: Samsung Evo 870 500GB (directly connected to SATA-port) SATA is set to AHCI mode and the SSD is formatted with NTFS (Windows XP default). R.Löw's TRIM. …

Re: How important is screen resolution to you?

in Milliways
High-end realtime scaling/analogue noise reduction/MPEG2 mosquito noise reduction/MPEG2 macroblock reduction/etc products from the likes of Faroudja, DVDO, etc used to be a thing. There was also somewhat similar functionality in some products meant for the TV broadcast and cable/satellite industry. …

I'm just weird on this. If it's a a vintage computer, and it's something i can have control of, I usually go for the highest readable resolution I can manage, so long as the performance isn't totally destroyed. If it's vintage media, I usually go for the highest quality I can manage if it's …

Re: Modern GPU with VGA for CRT

Hi guys, i have a Crt Sony GDM F520 monitor. So here is the problem - it works great with radeon 9700 - the image quality is just superb, text and images are very sharp. Voodoo 3\5 - also great. Geforce 6600 - a little bit inferior in terms of sharpness but still good. But i want to push it further …

Re: Modern GPU with VGA for CRT

The later cards with VGA use a DP or HDMI to VGA conversion chip and are subject to ~165MHz limit, so no high resolutions and/or refresh rates from those VGA ports. Pascal and Polaris VGA ports are all Limited at ~165MHz ? I think that Tiido meant that the implementations with an on-board HDMI or …

Re: DOS software for post-ISA sound devices

SBEMU and VSBHDA Well, that would also include all the ISA SB emulation software bundled with many PCI sound cards... Almost all the ISA SB emulation software would not qualify as "supporting newer hardware" if the hardware in question (and its bundled software) is at least 20 years old, IMHO. To …

Apparent resolution isn't that important to me. I would rather watch Fawlty Towers at 50p run through a decent deinterlacer and reasonably scaled to whatever my screen needs. I don't care for upsampling that tries to increase apparent sharpness or "recover/(re)invent" detail. Or at least I have not …
