Trying out Prince of Persia in Unity
zhlédnutí 125Před 2 lety
This is a fun little project for those who remember the classic game written by Jordan Mechner and published by Borderbund. Originally on the Apple II, it was ported over to many systems including PC and Amiga. It saw many sequels too, some of my favourite were the Sands of Time series on the PS2. The game clearly needs a bit of polishing, but it's very playable. Download source: houssamchab.it...

Acorn Electron with ElkSD64
zhlédnutí 232Před 2 lety
A brief introduction to my Acorn Electron with ElkSD64 SD card adapter and some of my favourite games. I forgot to say. The reason you can tell it's an older one, is that the ULA isn't in a socket. Correction (thanks to Barnabas) - the socketed ULAs were actually the earlier versions. They used to work their way loose causing instability. Mine is a later version with a soldered ULA. Delays in p...

Can I get this Soundblaster Live! working in MS-DOS.
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 2 lety
I ordered this Soundblaster Live! card to fix my sound issues when running MS-DOS games on my new Windows 98 gaming rig. I have quite a lot of trouble getting it working. Can I get it working and will it improve my sound issues?

Is this channel dead then?
Late comment , but what socket is yout mobo? 370 maybe? I also have a Fujitsu socket 370 Coppermine Celeron,with SB Live, win 98 PC for DOS/Win 9x games and software, and it is pretty good so far.
My sound blaster live just won’t work in DOS. My motherboard is an Intel board from 2007, 3GHz processor. I guess it’s just too fast. All is ok in XP but I wanted to use it in DOS. No luck.
Why did you put he PItube on a cable because it easily fit directly in the slot on the bottom?
parallel port must be set to epp because SPP does not support new printers
the original cd rom from the manufacturer creative with drivers from 2001 for sound blaster live 5.1 is in my furniture in a drawer
the gigabyte motherboard has an audio creative ct5880 sound microprocessor but sound blaster live 5.1 16 bit version works normally in windows 98 the drivers work but sound blaster live 5.1 in windows xp has full functionality by computer games were optimized for eax 1.0 eax 2.0 in windows xp
hey by chance do you have the system configuration files available for download or the setup configuration that you could maybe share with me? im trying to get mine working and i have the same error but i have no operating system to give the machine unfortunately im not able to find it online at the moment just reference disks...
Picked up one for myself. Not sure if I over paid but I really like the machine. Needs a new battery though.
Good video, code name droid doesn’t seem to have that headache inducing screen refresh like strikers run.
Nice looking case! I'd probably get a GeForce 4 MX 440 to put in there, but the CPU is fine enough for a 9x/DOS machine, I feel. The Live is probably my favorite PCI card for DOS support. There are some that sound better, but it's easy to use (especially when using the Audigy 2 driver like Phil's Computer Lab shows) and is great for Windows games as well.
I had "fun" experiment with Live! and similar system that is here. I installed Geforce 2 MX 400 to it and suddenly my DOS didn't have enough free memory to run some games... It seems the VGA driver or something hogs up a lot of memory (and SB16 emulation as well of course) - so I had a fun 4 hours digging around and setting up the config.sys to gain free memory from correct banks :D Edit: I'm using real dos 6.22 and not the command prompt win98 dos - I prefer to actually boot into dos for older dos games.
@@pheidian707 I usually just reboot the system into DOS mode myself, when I feel like playing around with DOS, but 6.22 is pretty fun to play around with as well, especially on more period correct systems. 7.1 is handy though, even as a hacky standalone, FAT32 support is super nice.
Nice video. Just bought a ps/2 55sx. Won't even get to post. No beeps and so lights on keyboard when pressing NUM lock and caps. Nothing on screen. I'm going to order another Dallas chip first. Swapping ram had no effect. If you have any other suggestions that would be great. I subbed.
If there's no power at all it won't be the Dallas chip. Try removing all cards, then powering up, just to make sure there's no fault on any of them. If not, then you could do with testing the power supply. It could also be a blown tantilum capacitor on the motherboard. I've seen Adrain's Digital Basement fixing these on old IBM machines on his channel. I think they tend to be physically blackened when they blow, so you might be able to spot it by just looking.
@@BenDoughty50 sorry I should have mentioned that it does power on, hard drive spins then sometimes stops. Keyboard lights blink on initial power up.
That's a good start then. Like I say, try removing all the MCA cards, and disconnect the harddrive. It should post even with none of these connected. It could still be a capacitor, so still worth checking that.
@@BenDoughty50 Yer I did all that. The through the whole caps visibly look fine, are the ones you mention surface mount. I have not looked at any surface mount components yet.
Sorry, my apologies. There aren't any tantalum capacitors on this mother board. There are a few on the MCA riser though. They are the yellow, through hole ones. They look like a blob. I'd recommend watching Adrian's Digital Basement or Necroware for diagnosing low level motherboard issues. Apart from swapping out a few capacitors, it's a bit beyond my skill.
Very nice, thanks for sharing There's something nice about this setup of recording the screen with camera, next time try with the room lights off \o/
Literally picked one of these up in an amazing condition from the Dump. I am very sure it needs that coin cell upgrade, but, does it need it to be able to progress to the reference disc? What disc did you use? One from the internet or one that came with it? Thanks
If its the same model, then you'll need a reference disk to set up the hardware after the coin battery fix. I download the disk image from www.ardent-tool.com/disks/ then burned it onto a disk with a USB floppy drive on my modem pc.
@@BenDoughty50 Ok, good to see we are using the same site. Just to make sure, until you did the coin cell fix, it wouldn’t even recognise the reference disc, right? Thanks for your reply
@@AdminFrank It should recognise the reference disk anyway. Its just that it won't be able to save the settings when powered off and will need the reference disk to configure on every boot. The disk drives for these things are notoriously temperamental. I'd recommend lubricating the motor, the head guide and worm screw as a first port of call, if it's not reading a disk.
Loved X-wing, was a Christmas present to myself in 1995, our pc didn't have a sound card or CD drive at the time 😁 The trench run finale was super hard on normal! I remember thinking it looks similar but it's so much harder than Star wars Arcade on the Speccy. Never played Tie-Fighter, I did buy the B-wing expansion back then. I own Tie-Fighter on Steam now, I might get round to it someday.
That Gorillas sound will remain stuck in my head forever :)
Totally with you on that.
Thanks for trying it, sorry for the bugs and glitches you encounter I'm still working on the game
It looks great so far. I'll keep an eye out for updates.
Nice 👍
Nice 👍
Good stuff. You could add a wireless keyboard and mouse solution so that you don't need to get access to the Dell. Oddly the old Dell that I have under my desk looks to be the same spec.
That's a good idea. Maybe have a holder on the back to keep them handy.
You can get a newer menu with some of the newer games on it ;)
That's actually a later edition Electron you have there. The earlier ones have a socketed ULA. I have read that the later ones have better RGB video quality but not actually owned one myself to verify this. Also your RAM is on a little sub-board at the front - in the earlier revisions it's soldered to the board.
Thanks for the info.
I've updated the description. I need to do my homework in future!
I played Elite so much, on the Spectrum though, I adored that game.
22:00 To help, since you're running on a TV, you can change the aspect on the TV to a 4:3 mode. On some it'll say "4:3." On others it may say "Letterbox."
Thanks. I've changed it now. I've also adjusted my settings to try and get a better picture for my next video.
10:45 Don't worry about all of the mixed-matched hardware. It's in our nature! Not to mention it gives us a nice canvas to mod it!
Nice to see this all working. I've got a brand new in box PS/2 mouse and keyboard you can have if you want. All beige as far as I remember.
That would be excellent. Are you around today if I pop in?
@@BenDoughty50 sorry I'm going out soon and tbh I've got a lovely new cold you don't want! I'll take a picture of them and pm you on twitter.
Managed to get Shogo working with a USB mouse.
Great to see a first person shoot 'em up like this - blast from the past!
Really great classy space! Nice job
Looks great and so clean!
