Help with Mon-Arc Plus, Voodoo3, and XM2960 (Move if needed)
« on: December 28, 2015, 01:04:27 am »
So, I've found that for a good number of DOS games, using MonArc's TSR for the Voodoo3 card works quite fantastic (playing Tyrian and OMF with real scanlines is a blast).  However, there's still quite a bit of gaming and non-gaming software I can't get to work right with my NEC XM2960 at 15.75KHz.  Games that use proper VESA modelines (Turrican II and the Digital Illusions pinball games are some examples of this), or are just slightly off-spec for proper VGA (during stages in Jazz Jackrabbit, or the fullscreen modes in JROK's conversions of Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man), or EGA resolutions (Aldo's Adventure, or Zeliard in EGA mode, which my monitor can do the 31KHz 400p mode, but not the 24KHz).  I've been wracking my brain for the past few days to try and figure out what modelines I need, and how to keep memory usage by teh TSR low enough so I can have a minimum of 570K conventional memory for Turrican.

If there's any other Voodoo3 users out there that have more knowledge of the TSR out there, I could really use the help.
It doesn't matter how bad things are, it'll work out in the end.
