UniVBE would be a lot of love for VGA card

"There won't be Memory settings in the future, because they make no sense on the PC, there is no disadvantage in running the core with maximum memory all the time." You're wrong, there are some games (surely Aladdin is one of these) that doesn't works if pc has too much free ram (using EMS that is mandatory on this game), and need to be u...

i would love to one day be able to play some of the more popular DOS games (all the sierra stuff, maniac mansion, & secret of monkey island in particular) Most classic VGA (320x200) Sierra and Lucasfilm games mentioned already run perfectly well in the ao486 core. Early Sierra games tend to have issues on the faster 486 and Pentium CPUs anyway...

The clock option doesn't help in some cases, Wing Commander or parts of the CD version of X-Wing now run much to fast. I don't think it is because of the general performance of the core, but because some parts of the CPU now work much faster than anything back in the day. Try to set 15mhz clock and reset core.. It will become very very slow and ma...

Keep using original Ao486 no cached core for games like this?

tried to connect a VGA monitor directly to IO board VGA output?

please try these :
SET BLASTER = A220 I5 D1 H5 P330
in autoexec.bat

OPL3 in OSD?

Just tried ao486_Cache3.zip core that bbond007 posted earlier - great speed improvement over official core - Doom runs a lot better! However, I'm getting no music from the Sound Blaster for some reason, same VHD has SB music with official core. Anyone else had this issue? Thanks Do you have SET BLASTER string in Autoexec.bat? Something like this :...

However, if VGA will not gain VBE Bios compatibility and support, a lot of games will not works, like for example NFS, just tried yesterday..
It doen't works on 486 core while it's perfect on PCem and on VMWare Workstation too..
we really need an improvement on VGA support otherwise a very fast 486 cpu will be less useful

With previous (no cache) version, LM60 (Landmark System Speed Test 6.0) gives same speed of a 386 sx 25 mhz...
will try with last new test cached version

I've deleted all pacman and variants cores (RBF) in "_arcade\cores" folder and launched update_all.sh and now they all working and there is only one pacman RBF file

My God!! You are great!! After months i finally have Pacman working again!!
My deeper thankness to you mate!!

I love it!!

I've same issue, no pacman versions working and no other cores based on Pacman workings anymore...
I've lost about 20 different games , Nico24 did you solved your issue?

i have same issue here

WOW! It would be wonderfull core! Like PDPs and other great historical computers!!

Exists a 16 MB SDRAM module too?

I agree, other than 1571 and 1581 hardware implementing too

I would like it too but meanwhile i use EATXMS program that remove memory (how much i want) and permit to
play to some games like Aladdin that otherwise won't works

Me too!

me too using AR6 like Fast Loader on auto connection when boot C64 core, it's twice faster than Jiffydos, don't block TAPs loading and i saw that is more compatible
