Re: Gravis M/Sound

Indeed. Going by what these article describe, it looks like this company "Mountain Sound" had basically just produced an overpriced Covox Speech Thing clone. The "4 digital voices" was probably just in software, through a MOD player. Maybe they offered the promised Tandy sound compatibility through …

Re: SBEMU: Sound Blaster emulation on AC97

are there any plans to offer a sbemu win9x edition to get sound working in a dos-environment within win9x? That's what VDMSound is for. It would make more sense to resurrect that project and continue improving that than to extend SBEMU, which is really focused on providing legacy sound card …

Re: SBEMU: Sound Blaster emulation on AC97

I was just back to SBEMU recently, and there were a lot people helping with it. That's fantastic news! Are we seeing a new beta release anytime soon? Releases are coming out regularly. Often more than one per day. :smiley: Have a look: https://github.com/crazii/SBEMU/releases By all means, try it …

Re: What game are you playing now?

in Milliways
The PS3 was cool. Sadly sold my phat one to a colleague a few years ago. Many these consoles can run custom firmware if you are into that. I'm tempted to pick a slim console just to try it. Yeah, I researched that a little as well, but jailbreaking it is a bit of a tricky process. It should be …

Re: What game are you playing now?

in Milliways
Heh, I rarely do gaming these days, but earlier this week, I finally got around to dusting off my old PS3 after almost a decade since I last used it. I put in a newer and bigger SSD (I love how easily you can do that with this console), reinstalled the OS and popped in Diablo 3, one of the few games …

Re: When Microsoft has a go at Tetris...

Heya, something that made me smile today.. I recorded a small gameplay clip of Tetris for Windows from my 486, and had a funny observation in their Help file :) Hey, that's the version of Tetris that came with the first volume of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack for Windows, right? It's actually a …

Re: FastDoom. A new Doom port for DOS, optimized to be as fast as possible for 386/486 personal computers!

The new modes are native resolution VESA 2.0 modes. The video card decides if it uses double-scan or not. Right now these resolutions are available: - 320x200 - 320x240 - 512x384 - 640x400 - 640x480 - 800x600 - 1024x768 - 1280x1024 2.0? So with linear frame buffer support? Does it fall back to bank …

Re: Best CGA & Hercules monochrome games

Edit: Hercules maybe was common in the XT days, but Hercules does really start to shine on an AT class PC, btw. Say, an early 80386 PC from the mid-late 80s. Such a PC could better compensate for the slow and taxing 8-Bit i/o that Hercules uses. Especially if such a PC's system memory i/o is …

Re: Covox and Disney Sound Source from ESP32

It might be possible to add output support for the Disney Sound Source (and clones such as this one) to SBEMU . Not sure how well the performance would be on older CPUs, though. How efficient is emu8950? I know that for instanced Nuked-OPL3 has pretty demanding CPU requirements as a price for its " …

Re: Best CGA & Hercules monochrome games

It's really a shame that the Hercules Graphics Card didn't support a graphics mode that allowed for mixed high and low intensity pixels. As I understand it, it certainly had the video memory for it. That, combined with dithering, would have resulted in even more amazing high-res monochrome graphics …
