4231 has no internal FM at all - maybe the info assumes an external FM chip (so as to have a cs4231+fm "full" WSS compatible card) AFAIK internal FM started with the broken implementation in the CS4235 chip, it was fixed in CS4236 and carried over to CS4237 and CS4238 - beyond these I have no …

nice to see this got figured out :) the X2 is indeed very capable and the good thing is that the soundbanks are updateable - there is always work done on them , slow but steady! the download section of the X2 has some more tools and even a high quality piano bank: http://serdaco.com/downloads/X2/? …

Hey Tom! glad you enjoy the cards :) I have no experience with the software you mention but I can tell you about the OUT ports :) PCMIDI is a 16-channel interface so everything is accessed from port330 in your case hardware-wise the midi-out signal gets multiplied and sent to: a. wavetable header b. …

thanks for the kind words and support jasa1063! wish you many hours of enjoyment out of it :) @Hezus 1. I have not tested with a 8bit slot but keep in mind you need at least a 286 to use the sound card portion of Orpheus 2. the PCMIDI part of the card is standalone so you can just use it without …

CSMPU does not need softmpu *unless* you want it to work with Intelligent Mode games (effectively emulating a roland intelligent mode mpu) but you don't care about that since you have PCMIDI part of the card doing that intelligent mode thing on it's hardware so for your setup CSMPU at port300 will …

Is it possible to do the same (Sysex) for the equalizer? Currently using the Yucatan Presets. I checked the SAM9793 user guide (can't find the 9733 one) but I'm not able to figure out the logic. IIRC on the Yucatan page there are some midi files to download that do exactly this: eq setup These …

there are 2 solutions on fixing the BIOS hdd limit: - drive overlay like OnTrack Disk Manager - XT-IDE bios loaded from a NIC or dedicated rom card I use a 8GB CF with my megapc and Disk Manager, works perfectly but deducts some ~6kb from the conventional memory pool

yes there are 😀 also I experimented with attributes, currently file selector needs NO atttributes at all to show the files: all my mods/dirs had the "archive" attribute - this needed to be cleared so the selector can show them

Hi Keropi, While writing another software, I checked the Mod Master code for file scan, and I saw it has a filter on the file attributes. Then, some different attributes may be present on the folder/Files not detected. I already removed the filters in the current rev I have, but as I did not add …
