How the Hercules Graphics Card Works
🕑 Added 2025-10-19 23:51:54 +0000 UTCUPDATE 10-21-2025: Several minor mistakes were discovered in the video, so I made a few edits before releasing to the whole world. It's probably not worth re-watching for them for most of you. However, if you made comments on the actual youtube video, you might want to go re-make those comments on the new one.

Interesting.. I found the setting to disable that for future videos. I am not sure how to disable it for existing ones.. or maybe it did both.

Some request unrelated to the video: If I play the videos in the Patreon app, your voice is automatically translated to my language but I want to hear your original audio and I can’t find a setting to prevent YouTube from doing this. I learned that there is an option for you as creator to stop them from translating automatically, may I ask you to set it?

I cut my PC teeth on an NCR PC6, with its strange more-than-CGA-but-not-quite-EGA video adapter back in the late 80's. These games and the mention of MDA really bring back memories. Thanks for the great video!

We had an IBM XT with an MDA card not realizing it didn't have graphics built-in. Granted we used the PC for handling mailing lists for my parents printing business, so it wasn't a big issue. Then we were able to get one of those ATI Solutions cards and I used the heck out of it for Hercules emulation. I've never been able to find what card it was we used until this video ... Thanks again for the nostalgia hit from my younger years!
