It runs dos, can play mp3s and has a Supaplex save where I beat all the levels except for two. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) Nice, does it have a sound card, if so what kind? Also I would definitely recommend getting an IDE to CF or an IDE to SD adapter and backing up the hard drive to an SD/CF card so you don't lose that data. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) I'm pretty sure it's an old Soundblaster. ...and one thing I neglected to mention is that I no longer have an old enough monitor to go with it, so it's been a while since I made sure it's still runnning. Might be gone by now =/ permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Draconic_NEO@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Oh I see, yeah if it hasn't been turned on in a while it might be gone, typically it's stiction from not moving for a while that kills the drives. Also pretty sure most VGA monitors will work, I use my 486 (also my Pentium 2) on a modern VGA monitor (actually a small LCD TV with a VGA input). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Klear@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago I haven't had a monitor with a vga port for a long time now (ever since I decided the old crt one I had connected to this old monster was just too bulky). I'm keeping the PC though. It's my first one (Theseus approved). Haven't looked to see if any sort of convertor to vga input is remotely viable and it's not really a priority. permalink fedilink source parent
