Thank you Damien D Has it Worked?

nathanm1991 · 20 January 2019, 03:50

Where can I get the Adapters for this?

lesta_smsc · 20 January 2019, 10:38

eBay... there are alternatives but the one recommended in the video is an original Roland branded. Here it is and at £26 it's a good buy if you're considering the above:

nathanm1991 · 20 January 2019, 21:55

Thank you Very much and yeah I am going to try it will a Dell Latitude D500 Laptop would this Suffice?

nathanm1991 · 20 January 2019, 22:35

A Few Pictures as I haven't yet shown anybody

lesta_smsc · 20 January 2019, 22:37

BTW if you do TV out... you will appreciate much nicer graphics! ...well I did on my PC lol.

nathanm1991 · 20 January 2019, 22:46

ah awesome do I need to get the adapter cable or do you mean just Activate the Ati tv out Setting?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Would I benefit more from DVI also? im Currently on vga

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have just Switched to a LG Flatron at 85Hz and I must say what a Improvement Already! I can now use 256 Colours too

As far as I recall... The graphics would be pixelated on monitor so typical "DOS" appearance. But using TV out either SVGA or composite provide a games console low output because the pixels in effect smoothed out and I must say a little more akin to Amiga!

Thanks Damien D I'm Still trying to learn how to use tools Properly haha. Thanks for the Explanation I will get the Tv out Adapter to try this out :-)

lesta_smsc · 21 January 2019, 00:28

This is the reason I'm contemplating whether Raspberry Pi would be better via HDMI or composite out

nathanm1991 · 21 January 2019, 00:33

OOOOO now that would be Interesting to Compare :-) Have never thought about Pi with Emulation nor how it looks through HDMI that's certainly tickled my Braincells. I use Recalbox x86 when it comes to console Emulation as it's a nice all in one Package and very Close in Comparison to the way games would run on the Console.

lesta_smsc · 21 January 2019, 00:36

I'll know once I have managed to get one and set it up... it's on hold whilst I complete other projects lol

nathanm1991 · 21 January 2019, 00:53

Aha Fair enough I know what you mean with Projects I am Currently over run haha. Currently doing a xbox 360 pc case for a mate, not the biggest challenge but still a little Pickling here and there

nathanm1991 · 21 January 2019, 02:29

N64 Emulation on the Pi at the Moment isn't the Strongest though not unheard of but other than that is Solid I have heard

Anubis · 21 January 2019, 08:13

N64 emulation is far better on NVidia Shield. I still prefer emulation on PC, with use of LaunchBox as front end.

Something like this...

nathanm1991 · 21 January 2019, 13:17

Cpu has just been upgraded from Celeron wilamette 1.7ghz to a northwood Pentium 4 2.8ghz

nathanm1991 · 22 January 2019, 03:14

I might stick with the Radeon 7500 LE for now. AGP was only set to X1 throttling it I have put it to X4 and the Win98 Games Run Mint :-)

Anubis · 22 January 2019, 03:49

nathanm1991,

Rather then adding new post, you can just edit previous one, add line.

As for comp, that is overkill for Win98. I used to XP and even Win7 on similar devices.

I still have couple old Pentinum M 1.5GHz laptops. Might try and see if I can find Win98 drivers for them and install/setup for some old games, even I don't need it thanks to pcEM. (just out of boredom

)

nathanm1991 · 22 January 2019, 08:17

Thanks Anubis I hadn't thought of that :-)

I have Removed one of the 1GB Sticks as it isn't Recognised anyway

This Machine is Probably just going to be turned into a 98 Dedicated Machine and I get another for my Dos Uses but I don't know yet as Compatibility thus far has been fine.

I have Ordered a GeForce fx5200 128mb Card as the Radeon is Passive Cooling and I want something a little nicer in there anyway. at £10 I couldn't say no
