DOS Games Discussion

Yes, this is true. Under Windows 98, I found many difficulties to shut down the system. Well, any ideas about using usb under Windows 95?

TXPro is an ALi renamed Aladdin IV. So I have to ask to Unknown_K?

What??? Windows XP cannot run on a 150 MHz Pentium-based PC!!! I tried to use it on my Pentium-MMX 200 MHz and it was very very slow!!!! I'm trying to "mod" my windows 98 usb drivers and make them able to run well under Windows 95B! Again... Windows 95B is the best system I have evere used...

What chipset, in your opinion, is the best for Pentium MMX. I want to exclude the i430HX. The choice is:

Intel 430TX;
TXPro;
VXPro+

I tried to install my Opti USB 1.1 under Windows 95 4.00.950B (osr 2.1), and Windows, after installing usbsupp.exe and wdmusb.exe, detects it correctly. When I try to use an USB Device, Windows detects a new device, but cannot find the drivers, of course. I didn't have the Windows 95 drivers for the...

My PC is not sufficient for Windows XP, because has 64 MB RAM and a P200 MMX. I want to use it on Windows 95! I will try!

Well, maybe Windows 95 A (absolutely first edition) is not such a good OS, but I tried Windows 95 4.00.950B (also known as Windows 95 with Microsoft Internet Explorer) and it ran very good from 1998 to 2002. I tried to install usbsupp.exe on Windows 95 4.00.950B and it ran, but the peripherals (like...

I know that is possible to use the USB platform under Windows 95 OSR 2.1 and 2.5, by installing USBSUPP.exe. I tried this, and the Opti USB- PCI device is correctly detected, but I still can't use any USB peripherals due to the incompatibility of the drivers. Can I find a way to use these peripheral...

I have a SB32 PnP from 1996. It's a very big audio card: it has got 2 simm-slots for the MIDI. Anyway, Windows 98SE detects it as a Sound Blaster 16 Plug and Play, but detects also a voice like "SB AWE32 effects". Shoul I use it as a 32-PnP Sound card?

Again.... can any version of Linux run on a 286-machine?

Very good, I will try.

Yes, I know... really, what can I use on it? Some playable games must exist!

I would like to use my AMD 286 again. It has 6 MB RAM, 200 MB Seagate HD, 3,5 inch FDD and 5,25 inch FDD. I would like to go to the internet with an isa-modem, but I can't find any browsers that can run on a 16-bit CPU! Again, what games could I run?

Yes, it's a bit slow... so I tried to keep Win XP but, for DOS games, I decided to return to Windows 98SE. Now, i need the BIOS upgrade for this:

06/13/97-i430TX-NS336-2A59IQ1CC-00

The new MB is a QDI.

I paid it 15,90 € (I live in Italy). So in your opinion, it's the on/off switch that does not work or not? I can't understand! I say it's not possible! The MB was never used! When I tried the first time, I was very satisfacted.... but now, the MB doesn't work. Sometimes, the CPU becomes ho...

I bought through e-bay a PCChips M560, with the TX PRO Clone chipset: really, the chipset is the very good ALi Aladdin IV. I was using my PCChips with Windows XP. Suddenly, the PC crashed, and when I turned it on, it was dead: the PC doesn't dothe "BEEP" ; the CPU doesn't become hot... it ...

I want to build a computer for the old dos games. I write the configuration that i'm thinking: Intel Pentium 100 32 MB RAM HD 6 GB (IDE or SCSI) CD rom 8x Windows 98SE VGA S3 Trio64V2 2 MB is this machine sufficient for ALL dos games? Should I get some different-hardware? What chipset, in your opini...

Of course, but you may easily know that, if under Windows 9x/ME the FDD works, it probably won't be an hardware problem, but i think a software problem! But... what can I do? I remember that it worked!

I tried. But do you believe me if I tell you that it isn't detected at all? Anyway, it isn't the floppy drive that is not detected, but the whole Floppy-disk controller! If I go to the system properties, the device "floppy disk controller" (or something like that) is missing, while, on Win...

Of course, I formatted the C:\ drive. I tried it a lot of times, but the result was always the same!
