See https://packetdriversdos.net/ * Trackpad - No USB driver available, but Cutemouse can detect it. All versions (v19, 20, 21) seem to work. See https://cutemouse.sourceforge.net/ * Memory - Use UMBPCI with the ''/I=D000-DFFF'' to access the unused adapter ROM region and get more UMB space. See https://www.uwe-sieber.de/umbpci_e.html * Audio - Use VSBHDA to get excellent quality emulated Soundblaster and FM support, as well as software synth MIDI. See https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/VSBHDA ===== Benchmarks ===== {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111238.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111331.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111408.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111500.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111528.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111721.jpg?400|}} {{:blog:pentium:latitude_x1:img20250814111802.jpg?400|}} ^ Test ^ Base Config ^ | 3DBench 1.0c | 140.1 | | Chris 3D Bench | 142.5 fps | | Chris 3D Bench SVGA | VESA error | | PC Player VGA | 143.3 fps | | PC Player SVGA | 63.7 fps | | Doom (low detail) | 238 realtics | | Doom (high detail) | 1304 realtics | | Quake (320x200) | 116 fps | | Quake (360x480) | 47.0 fps | | Quake (640x480) | 41.0 fps | | Norton SI | 1063 | | Landmark CPU | 12950 MHz | | Landmark FPU | 24000 MHz | | Landmark Video | 7336 chr/sec | ===== Game Testing ===== ^ Drive ^ Directory ^ Game ^ Variant or version ^ Sound config ^ Blaster ^ Runs ^ vsbhda ^ vsbhda16 ^ FM ^ Digital ^ MIDI ^ Retest Reason ^ Notes ^ | D | ACTION | Alien Carnage | | Soundblaster | A220 I7 D1 H5 T6 P330 | Yes | | Yes | | Yes | | | No FM in this game – it’s all digital FX with tracker music. | | D | ACTION | Another World | Soundblaster 10KHz | Soundblaster | A220 I7 D1 H5 T6 P330 | Yes | | Yes | | Yes | | | | | D | ACTION | Bargon Attack | | Soundblaster | A220 I7 D1 H5 T6 P330 | Yes | | Yes | | Yes | | | No apparent FM in this game. | | D | ACTION | Commander Keen 4 | | Soundblaster | A220 I7 D1 H5 T6 P330 | Yes | | Yes | Yes | | | | Detects Soundblaster in startup.
