Calling Falkentyne
Hello my friend,
I've just gone from a GeForce2 GTS to a 6800 GT. The problem is that my DOS mode games all now run at the DOS default of 60Hz (or sometimes 70Hz) despite my best efforts with UniRefresh and even VBEHz. The 6800 certainly seems to support all VESA and VGA modes properly. It's just that, unlike the GeForce2, it won't let refresh rate TSRs do their funky business. Have you encountered or heard of similar problems? Any idea how to contact Rob Muller (the author of UniRefresh) who I always found to be very knowledgable and helpful? Yours with that old 60Hz squint, procerus |

Yours with that old 60Hz squint, procerus XP normally has problems with VESA modes as it limits software access to low level hardware devices (like direct framebuffer writes and such). Check out DOSBox to emulate any old game in Windows near perfectly if you can run it in real mode. http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/ It has a few patches added that allow for some VESA access. |

I hope you are well and still using a voodoo2 somewhere!!! Hiya Eddy, Still got Voodoo2 SLI alongside the 6800GT. Works perfectly for all those Windows and DOS glide classics. Don't get too wet out on that bike, eh? procerus |

I've moved to Scotland now so can't avoid the rain... but the roads are the greatest, not to mention the whisky! Take care old friend and I'll catch you soon with luck. Best regards Eddy |
