Windows 98 with the ET driver is unstable above 16 colors, Windows 95 with the ET4000 driver can run all the way up to 1024/768 256 color, though I keep it at 640x480 True color. W95 has been the most stable for me with the new driver. W98 will freak and show rainbow lines and then blue screen pretty often. Stick to W95 or Dos for now or wait for o...

I tried all the ET4000 drivers I could find for Windows 95 and I tried several different DOS drivers as well. Nothing seems to work for me... but in many cases it does seem to run except it just freezes the display. I suspect if I connect the MiSTer to a CRT monitor, it might switch to VESA mode... but in Windows it keeps seeing it as a display dr...

I have compiled ao486 dev branch up until 0ee2f22 (posted by RobertPeip this morning). I don't have a FULL Quartus, so I am unable to generate an .rbf, so have to upload the .sof file manually. With WIN95 I can up the resolution, but not the number of colours. Can you share that build? Also, your pictures are not loading. does the sof2flash then f...

Thanks xnoodless, I was supposed to get the same one as you have, but they messaged me it was going to be the newer revision. I did some more testing, with different cables, DVI mode off, resolution 8 and 13 again. But yet again the display detects no image source. I also tested a range of other devices on the ipad display like the Nintendo Switch...

Does this mean VESA support as well? What driver would that be?

I am using Windows 95 but shutting it down in Dos Mode (Start Shutdown- Reboot to MS-DOS) not runnning in a Dos shell. Config.SYS FILES=40 DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\SETVER.EXE DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS /TESTMEM:OFF DOS=high,umb DEVICEHIGH=C:\WINDOWS\emm386.exe 8000 RAM FRAME=E000 D=256 X=A000-C7FF I=C800-EFFF DEVICEHIGH=C:\SB\DRV\CTSB2.SYS /UNIT=...

So I don't know if it will affect other games, but I got Wolfenstein 3-D and Doom to launch with Sound Blaster support and Music on Cache20 by setting speed to 30MHz and then running Wolf3d, then select the Sound -- SB settings, then switch back to 100Mhz for full speed and it runs just fine from there. Video example of Doom and Wolf3d showing the ...

What is the actual font used in the logo?

Molte Grazie!

Is there a good how-to for the TI-994a core. I am confused on the process for loading bios, which one to use, and then what is the right disk image and the sequence.

James, if you are really in DFW, I can 3d print you a case and have some extra stuff I don't need from my MiSTer journey. I'm in "North" Dallas, PM me if interested.
