Huh, that sucks. Have you tried contacting the seller? I know that can be hit or miss, but they might be able to help if you show them pics or a video, maybe they'll give you a refund. If not, you could maybe try installing a different board. The seller was mostly unhelpful and suggested that “perhaps the backlight panel of the control board has b...

I purchased a VGA/HDMI board from AliExpress and the screen is very dim/dark. Side by side with a regular iPad: IMG_2300.jpeg It’s the same issue whether use a 5V or 12V PSU - so I don’t think power delivery is the issue. My board has an RTD2556 chip (photo below). My OSD menu does not allow me the adjust the backlight, and even with the regular br...

Or can I simply use an iPad charger to power it via the micro USB port(don’t know how many amps is needed)?

Positive centre

Just received mine. In landscape orientation, the display has a single pixel width vertical black line:


Any suggestions on how to fix this? I’m happy to get my hands dirty

I've tried booting a few "PC Booter" floppy images: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PC_booter_games

All that I've tried so far give me "Boot failed: not a bootable disk". Is this something we should expect to work on ao486 or no?

I'm interested if we can get these old PC Booters running

Haven't tried that game, but is the BLASTER environment variable set properly?

Yes - first thing I tried. Unfortunately makes no difference for me

I got C&C working but it was a bit odd. I don't know why exactly this works but rebind Game.dat using DOS32A (sb -r Game.dat) This will spit out a file named Game.exe. Rename that back to Game.dat and then launch the game using C&C.exe as usual. Depends on how you installed C&C is my thinking. If you just copied it over from an already...

I used a C&C rip found somewhere, ..., which was preinstalled and started it from within Win95. I didn't want to make ISO from my old CDs and install again and try lot of things just to test it short. Dos/4GW is known to have problems with the core, so either use Dos/32A or Windows to run these games. Same e.g. with Warcraft 2. I tried DOS/32A...
