  1. Made a new video: Setting up an NEC PC-9821 Ce2 with a fresh hard disk and DOS 5.0A-H (using a very large IDE hard drive). Also CD-ROM drive setup.

    As usual correct me if I'm utterly wrong about something.

    Well, at least unlike IBM clones these boards can be installed and removed from the back without opening the case. (shrug)
    Am curious what IRQ or address conflicts I might have, since literally every other game seems to deal with it fine (shrug again). #pc9801 #pc98 #c_lab #rusty
  3. hrmmmm, i think maybe i did something to my pc98. it seems to be playing touhou 5 much faster than normal today... but i thought i clocked the GDC down. and maybe did some BIOS-level CPU modifier thing for 8 vs. 10 MHz system clock? Probably dropping it to 8? … Trying to figure out how slowing the GDC and maybe CPU multiplier down would make the game run faster. I can sort of imagine it, but it's wild to me that i'm just now realizing this after over a year of owning this thing. Could also just be that i'm sleepy right now and therefore playing much, much worse than usual, but it genuinely seems faster. IDK how it measures "slowdown."
