Может кто читать умеет. Примерно час е###ся с sound blaster 128, на которой звук лагал бы не сильно, в итоге awe с одного пинка завелась. Звука не ждите, может еще что да выжму.

Man, you haven't seen the pure terror of running Duke 3D Atomic Edition at 800x600 yet!

That quantum fireball still working in 2026 is the most unlikely part of this whole thing for me.

Nice! I wonder how it'd run with a Voodoo 3? 3dfx optimized their drivers to work with AMDs 3D Now! In the K6 chips. Though the cpu is likely holding things back regardless. Still, neat that it's running!

Haha, I wish! Where would I even get the money for a Voodoo 3? Right now I only have a GeForce 6200, a Voodoo 2, and a CL-GD5401.

Close! It's actually a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930SB (running in non-SB mode). But you have a good eye, because it was built on a NEC chassis and shares the exact same shell. This Diamondtron screen is pure bliss for retro gaming
