    Looking for some Retro help with a P166MHz system.

    Quake is showing up everywhere with the remaster coming out and that reminded me I tried running Quake on this system with just the SiS card. And you could count the FPS on one hand! So planned to play it on my 98 system. But! Now I have the Voodoo in there. So installed Quake and in 640x480...

    If you read into it they had this same brightness bug when they were released. 20+ years ago. Post I was reading from that time were describing the same thing I was seeing. I don't use Win 98 on this system because I have my original 98 system. A Pentium 500MHz and TNT.

    Looking for some Retro help with a P166MHz system.

    This is now the end of troubleshooting this system. It still has a issue here and there like the sound card 16bit DMA and may have games not compatible with the SIS but I got the S3 card now and can just not use 16bit DMA. Besides that I am very happy with this system and to finally have DOS...

    Looking for some Retro help with a P166MHz system.

    I tried out VniVBE with Windows 95 too but had the same kind of corruption on Windows boot once the graphics kicked in. Had to uninstall it to get Windows working again. Besides that I upgraded the Voodoo/Glide drivers as I had the release versions installed. I tried upgrading the SIS drivers...

    Looking for some Retro help with a P166MHz system.

    So I put the SIS back in. One thing I had not tried is the UniVBE. Getting this to work in DOS took me a few hours. I don't have much DOS experience remember. But after finally getting it working I started up Blood. The first logo would play but then everything would glitch out. There would be...

    Looking for some Retro help with a P166MHz system.

    ...WELP... I put in the S3 card and booted up DOS... and I was blinded. In the black spaces there were angled flowing scanlines and static and everything was just very bright. So I looked it up and find out that the S3 cards are known for a Brightness Bug. Reading about it it seemed like 90%+ of...

    For 4MB I see these two listed: S3 VIRGE DX 86C375 ATI Rage II+ OH, I found this comparing the 2, the Virge seems to be the winner for 2D DOS: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=34658

    Looking for some Retro help with a P166MHz system.

    I definitely don't want to get anything over 4MB as I have a TNT 16MB in my 98 system but as I already have the Voodoo maybe something less. Do you know if a ATI Rage Wonder MACH 64 1MB is good?

    Oh, someone did inform me that "the 6326 AGP model (no data available for PCI) is marked as incapable of running build engine at high resolution in MS-DOS at all". But I can play Blood in DOS. Was playing it last night and going to play more tonight.

    True but as I said it ran fine on this hardware before. Is there a good 2D PCI card still going for cheap on eBay you can recommend?
