Well interests shift overtime and you get burned out messing with the same stuff all the time... I can't say I am interest much in xp-era systems but I can certainly understand Phil as I too take breaks and mess with other stuff like consoles or jamma boards or other home computers like Amiga, cpc, …

@Nitroraptor53 Eletro Body/Man (made freeware in 2006) plays samples through adlib, try it you'll be impressed - there are a couple of more games that do that but I don't remember them atm https://www.classicdosgames.com/game/Electro_Man.html

Re: Antivirus software for DOS ?

F-PROT 3.16f and 2009 virus definitions, when the old F-PROT forums were online and the original author active I asked about it and he gave me these DOS definitions and he told me they were free to use. Just start the program with the .BAT file to bypass date check of definition files. http://www. …

Color copiers made it to market in the late 70's and were widely in use in even the 1980's. They weren't comnon things in my childhood and certainly not the kind of stuff you could get game manuals etc. photocopied on pocket allowance which was barely enough to get a couple pirated games every …

Re: Dreamblaster X2 Loader on Windows 98 not working
Posted on 2020-02-15, 16:27
interesting then, I just assumed that it wanted all USB audio functions to work since the same chip powers the X3MA as well anyways looking forward to see if it works in ME or not
Re: Dreamblaster X2 Loader on Windows 98 not working
Posted on 2020-02-15, 09:36
programming effects and soundbanks is not the same usage as plugging the board in a wavetable header - sure it would be convenient to do it with 9x but sadly Dream built their chip adhering to microsoft's specs for usb audio - that is why it needs no driver in newer windows. It's not a thing Serdaco …
Re: Roland Sc-55 vs Roland Sc-55 MKii - Which one is the best one?
Posted on 2020-02-14, 21:20
Do not overthink it - both are a great choice. Personally I prefer the MK1 sound but both will work just fine in doom/duke3d just get the one with the better price 😉
Re: What's the current status on decoding read-protected registered PAL chips?
Posted on 2020-02-13, 21:55
yeah the CMS decoding derived from understanding what the card does and how it should work and then recreated with the help of what derSammler wrote... because of that the new code is actually better than the creative one and it works with all SB2.0s the method quicknick linked still assumes you …
Re: What game are you playing now?

I play witcher3 again , finished it once when it was new but with all that witcher publicity I started it again :D it is nice because after a couple of years I totally forgot most of the stuff ... looking forward to go to DLC areas because surprisingly I remember even less about them even though …
Re: What's the current status on decoding read-protected registered PAL chips?
Posted on 2020-02-13, 20:07
if you find a "company" nowdays that can do this prepare to pay something like 2k $/chip .... I have no idea who can do this nowdays or who you can trust... also keep in mind you might need more than 1 pal of each type since accidents are most likely to happen :\ in the past more people could do it …
Re: What's the current status on decoding read-protected registered PAL chips?
Posted on 2020-02-13, 19:56
From what I have seen PALs that have part numbers printed on them are almost always read-protected... you can certainly try reading them but keep in mind you need a good programmer that supports the model exactly else you will get weird results...
Re: What's the current status on decoding read-protected registered PAL chips?
Posted on 2020-02-13, 19:35
you are looking into reverse engineering that aplleII hardware emulator card right? It was kinda disappointing seeing it has 8 PALs... it makes no sense sending them for cracking it will be too expensive for this many chips 🙁
Re: BIOS for Diamond Stealth VRAM (S3 P86C911) needed

very nice! glad I could help! burn another one and enable 16bit access 😁 most likely the orchid bios has vram settings that are not compatible with the chips on the diamond, this is my guess

I just tried it in dosbox, although it does support tandy video mode the sound is the 1000 SL/TL one and it's samples like a soundblaster, certainly not the SN tone generator sounds... https://i.imgur.com/dMIQN5N.png
