Post Pics of Old School Hardware "hard to find on the net"

[Thrackan]

I'd test if the games work since I assume they've already been out the box right? Left my dreamcast alone for 2 years, came back to it and it freezes up after 10 minutes playing/ it won't recognise any discs. Awesome bits of hardware btw.

Duh, but those Sega Master Systems are from the time they still made durable quality stuff

 

[Tatty_Two]

Lol,just tested a couple of them, they work nice! the ORIGIONAL sonic the hedgehog.....lmao!!

 

[mullered07]

Lol, worryingly I just had flashbacks of a former computing life I have just been getting some Christmas stuff down from the loft for "her indoors" and found two Sega master systems II, I thought, ahhhh these arent too old, then I looked at the box and saw 1989....thats nearly 20 years old and these babies are in mint with some games, might see if they will fetch something on fleabay

what games you got tatty? love the master system, shame its not the first one with the hidden snail maze game

I'll let you know a bit later when I go back up the dark hole I just grabbed two outta the box to test them earlier (sonic and I think the other was called something like sword or legend of velda???) but I think there are only about 10 in there.

 

[mullered07]

oh man i hope you got double dragon and thunderblade, maybe a bit of golden axe aswell, not too mention chase hq alex the kidd oh man time to get my emulators back lol

 

[DaMulta]

Ok soooo.

I have XP installed with SP3

I have an AWE32 installed

SCSI Raid PCI

SATA PCI

DVD on IDE

The gb of ram
P2 533Mhz

Ran mem test

and the voodoo 5500 AGP






I'm having issues, but I can admit I have not tried games.


I don't think 3dmark06 will run on a P2, but will it run on a P3?




Also this program crashes right when I start it. It works on mine.

3d-analyzer

on my main rig

This is me taking out a few things to speed it up, and yes this is bad settings lol.





I mean look this cluck is playing Crysis on a intel Chipet. Why will this program not open.....Is it my P2 CPU?

[stinger608]

DaMulta, did you download and install the latest DX9? That may be the problem, it should run on a PII

 

[DaMulta]

Well I installed DX9 developers pack, and then(the big pack) the full load November pack errors out on me at the very end.

I don't know if it undoes the fail or if it is just failed.

It did that to me in Visa, and in XP.

 

[ste2425]

im looking forward to the day when some starts a thread like this and goes "look i managed to find a pic of a hd 4870! you dont find them anymore"
hahaha

 

[Tatty_Two]

Voodoo 5500 aint a DX9 card, you would be better off finding an old DX8 or even 7 pack to install........I dont think they play backwards if you get my drift!

 

[Tatty_Two]

You need DX6, just checked, DX7 was the advent of T&L and the 5500 could not support it which is why you probably are having issues.............

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voodoo5

 

[DaMulta]

Ah so I need to install DX6 7 8 and 9? I thought maybe it was in the DX9 package, but why would they out that old code in there.

Besides they are ripping the new stuff off and not really running it.

 

[DaMulta]

LOL LOL LOL

They released a new set of drivers today!!!

http://www.3dfxzone.it/news/puntatore.php?uid=9111

Going to give them a try in a bit. Also install a game or 2.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I thought I would share with you my socket 1 and Cyrix processor.

 

[DaMulta]

I was waiting for someone to post one

Looks clean, does it boot?

I have to ghetto rig a PSU to it, multimeter check everything. The CPU has a built in HS, and the monitor is a see through laptop LCD. HD is a 2.5" 256mb model. Video card is... internal. Not even 1mb of mem. Ram is built in too!

EDIT: In short, yes it boots.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Also, tomoro I'll have a pic of my whole collection.

 

[Easy Rhino]

I have the original Master System sitting here, The full sized one with the card slot. I even still have the card for the 3D glasses. I can't seem to find the glasses tho.

TNT2? Try that 3d-analyzertool above and see how that helps

Well I'm done bashing my head why the two chips I have will not work in that board. They are Xeon chips, and the peeps with this board over in aisa are smoking crake when they talk about this CPU working in that board......

Slot 2 does not work in slot 1 No P3 chips for me

(why most I have grabbed Xeon chips and why are they not labeled as Xeon......

Unless I can finds
Epox S2C Slot-1 to Slot-2 Adapter
From 1999

Anyone has one?
I knows I can find an extension cable on the net somewhere and flip that baby backwards LOL.


Also lost the raid tonight, gong to have to reinstall. But I have all the DX packs, but now I find out that this motherboard may not put out the juice for this card 3.3v....Next rev on this board took card of that DONT know(totally if true) to be honest...
http://asia.giga-byte.com/FileList/Manual/motherboard_manual_6bxe_2101_e.pdf

There is a 3.3v mod for these cards so you can run them in normal AGP slots. Yet that would be killing a classic

I have the original Master System sitting here, The full sized one with the card slot. I even still have the card for the 3D glasses. I can't seem to find the glasses tho.

What does the card look like?

 

[Tatty_Two]

Forgot to say earlier DM......2006 requires 256MB GDDR and DX9 card.

 

[DaMulta]

Look what I founds on the internet

AGP to PCI

Ebay 200 EURO
http://74.125.93.104/translate_c?hl...hs=AJP&usg=ALkJrhiAAUB4_rr_FhTYM-kwKgWZKMrIqg

AGP1 uses 3.3v and the other AGP is only 1.5v.......Why don't we have these cards on the market?

http://translate.google.com/transla...etc_agp2pci.html&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=en

Says they will work with newer AGP cards. You could even put that on top of a PCI to PCI-E adapter.

Where do u buys?

 

[Tatty_Two]

My geforce 2 MX400, AGP, still got it, pic below, specs here:
