Thanks for the pointers. I got Zdoom, Quake, Quake 2, and Hexen 2 working very well indeed with PCI audio on one of my "modern" laptops (i7 5600, with 16GB RAM and Intel 5500 onboard graphics, which supports *both* VGA and LFC write combining caching with your MTRRLFBE utility). Anything more "modern" than 5th Gen core i3/i5/i7 doesn't work... with either PCI sound *or* lfb write-combining. The onboard Realtech IDH sound is fantastic! That pcisnd.d3x wrapper is pure gold. It was a blast from the past playing these games on a modern, fast system with high resolutions and perfect audio after 25 years.
A 10th Gen i5 gets a ridiculous *9 mb/sec* in VESA modes, while not supporting any DOS resolutions below 640x480x8. So, no 320x200 or anything else. Terrible and awful castration of DOS and legacy video mode compatibility. While the i7-5600 above gets something like 3000 mb / sec in VESA modes and runs Quake 2 in DOS with LFC write-cache combining at 1920x1080 at something beyond 120 fps because of write-combining caching.
I found other Doom DOS wrappers such as MBF, VaVoom, Vanilla Doom, Boom, and Excelsion which appear much more advanced than the 1999 DOS Zdoom v. 1.17c but of course no PCI audio wrapper DOS compiles by Ruslan! Zdoom ver. 2.17 works with HX and 2.17PCI audio patch, however.
It is a pity that no system beyond 5th Gen supports writeback combining. Is this also your experience, RayeR? I've tested 7 or 8 such systems now and none of them work with your MTRRLFBE utility. Perhaps some manual settings will work, but I do not know how to figure them out. The system just freezes when I execute "mtrrlfbe lfb wc" and has hard lock-up with only system reset getting control back. This system freeze on anything greater than 5th Gen, including i7-7820HQ, i7 6600, i5-8250, i5-10210U).
