Does this port implement WASD + Mouse movement controls?

Re: UNISOUND - Universal ISA PnP Sound Card Driver for DOS v0.75b

First time for me testing out UNISOUND, let me say: excellent work! I do have some constructive criticism, but i'd rather do that by PM. OK so i do have a system with 8 sound cards. Yes 8. Only 3 of them are PnP, and everything has its own resources, no conflicts. So my PnP cards are: - Gravis …

Innovation SSI support may or may not happen. The programming model is relatively similar to Adlib and Planet X3's soundtrack only makes use of three voices, anyway. Conversion at run-time seems feasible. You might have noticed that I am building my own Innovation SSI replicas , so it's not …

While I don't have any MIDI hardware and will therefore not be working on that, you'll be delighted to hear that someone else is working on General MIDI and MT-32 support, and that it's reportedly already working, albeit probably in a prototypical stage. That's wonderful news. Its amazing so many …

Huh. Didn't know that existed for CMS patching to a different space. So use the MS DOS debug program to change the code from 220h to 210h and use the string for Secret of Monkey Island /g2x0 for the different address, correct? Yes, but i would recommend using a good hex editor, just makes things …

Hate to bring an old thread back from the dead here, but I have a question: how can I edit DRV files, like AUDBLAST.DRV, ADL.DRV, MTBLAST.DRV, or even BLASTER.DRV to get the Blaster hardware address changed from 220h to 240h? I have a SAAYM card (2x Philips 1099, 1x YM-2151 and YM-3012 DAC) set to …
Re: FMonster, the monster of sound synth
Posted on 2020-07-13, 15:36
Earlier DuoSID and FMonster had user-selectable port for each SID , but user could choose only one setting for each SID . So user could put both SID 's either on one address (to get full mono playback, but "wasting" one of the SID s) or on different addresses (to get true stereo playback, but …

I like this thread every now and then it gets bumped. I guess the last missing piece of the puzzle on my multi Sound card build is the AdLib Gold. IRQ 10 and DMA 0 are waiting for you, dear AdLib Gold.

Hi Fagear, i have a couple of questions. So in DuoSID both SID chips listen on the same base port? From what i can see there's only 1 base port selection which means both SID chips Will play the same thing. Wouldn't it be better to have a different base port for SID 1 and SID 2? That way maybe a …

Thank you. There's something there for AOTP. Unfortunately i've searched high and low, i don't think there's a frame rate limiter patch for AOTP and other Dynamix Sims. One for AOE and A-10 would be nice too.

I wonder if it would be possible to convert a 94B format soundbank into a DXB format one and load the resulting file into a DreamBlaster ? Well i thought about the same before and asked member dreamblaster about it. It is not that straight forward. @keropi Yeah i'm aware about SAM9733 and it being …

I've been a Red Baron fan for years. Played the heck out of it, and always was my favorite Dynamix flight simulator. Unfortunately 2 particular things always annoyed me. First is how weak Joystick support actually was, with no option for calibrating with dead zone settings and being buggy as hell, …

I absolutely agree with you that the GS ROM is not that similar to a Sound Canvas . I am starting to be tempted to get a SAM9407 base card with RAM just to test that soundbank you mention . Please let us know, when you get the chance, which 94B soundbank you are referring to . My guess is the …

AFAIK, the GS ROM Roland sued over isn't the exact same the one that came with the Cancun FX. It follows the GS standard but doesn't sound close because it had to be changed significantly. Any user with a card that has the SAM 9407 (EWS64, Guillemot) can try the 4MB soundfont, that sounds virtually …

The Yucatan FX (resurrected Cancun FX) mentioned earlier in this thread uses a Dream chip and the infamous GS ROM that Roland sued over and then licensed . I have a Monster MIDI which uses the same Dream chip and ROM, so sounds essentially the same as the Yucatan FX should . I do not find it that …

By upper memory i mean the A0000h up to FFFFFh, exactly between 640kb and 1MB. I assumed that when loading the packet driver with LOADHIGH it will only try to load on UMA and not on HMA, but correct me if i'm wrong to assume that. I can also check where in memory tha packet driver goes. Yeah its …

In my opinion, best soundfont that comes close to SC-55 is a 4MB one for the Dream SAM 9407. It was so close, or probably a perfect copy that Roland couldn't just let them go without a lawsuit: https://www.eetimes.com/atmel-and-crystal-semiconductor-settle-copyright-lawsuit-with-roland-corp-u-s/ I …
