Thanks! I finally got it to work. And it’s not hard at all.
1. I just edited line one of QII.cue from “Quake II.Bin” to “QII.BIN”
2. then mount .cue file to imgmount d: QII.cue -t iso

Then it works like a charm! But could you support GPU acceleration? e.g. Like Glide? The game is a bit choppy. But it only drops the frames on waters etc.. But still choppy 🙁

I would assume it would be something along the lines of this. The builds have support for MSCDEX, and all of that good fun.

Although the ogg file support is much quicker/easier TBH.

btw RayeR I pimped your Doom on 86duino on hackaday

I would do the same with Quake II DOS port, but HaD is mostly hardware oriented.

Yes I saw some PCIE risers but not that one I exactly needed: a x1 female on one side and x16 female on other side. I saw only male-female configuration. I soldered the connectors out from some old MB and use few thin wires… In this case PCIE is a piece of cake and it’s fine it can automatically configure to different number of lanes. I wouldn’t like to do that on classic 32b PCI or even PCIX 🙂

I’m not sure how the lanes are connected between slots on MB, maybe it could be possible to split one x16 slot to two x8 slots. I don’t know how REFCLK signal is wired to slots – if it’s just common or every slot has some driver chip.

vga card? least hassle is buying PCIE ribbon riser cable on ebay for $1.5 free shipping

Do you have a better shot of all the wires running to the card edge connector? I was always interested in doing that stuff. I’ve made a few adapters for a sega master system base converter for sega mega drive and that was like 30 or 40 wires and I used an old IDE cable, but man does it take a while to do it. I was triple checking the work as I did it.

If you’re a bit hardware/electronic skilled guy you could take hot air gun and rip off the damned LAN chip and then reuse free PCI-E lane to connect some normal x1 LAN card. I did something similar when I connected PCI-E VGA card to 86Duino zero miniboard – it was only 3 twisted pairs + power and reset…

Or maybe there it’s some better place to connect to unused PCI-E lane. Small MBs are good for connecting to TW and watch movies or so but for real work I prefer workstation with full size ATX board (and of course wits some PCI slots on it 🙂

The board has one slot. It’s occupied by the video card. The processor doesn’t have onboard video. So, DOS networking isn’t going to happen unless I write a driver. And that sounds like a lot of work… I’d probably just try to find some p4 throw away.
