Has anyone got any experience with this? Since my Vortex 2 card stopped working on me I never had the opportunity to try out Unreal 1 with the Aureal A3D hardware sound enabled. I'm wondering what version of the game I should play since overtime the audio subsystem that Unreal uses has gotten either …

I just thought I might share this with anyone who still plays these games. Also I apologize if this is the wrong forum to post this topic in... but I figured this is about running Windows games I thought I'd post it here. It is possible to get much better audio quality out of both games, to do so …

Ah okay, thanks... And well done with making MUNT actually sound as close as possible to the MT-32. I have nightmares still of what MUNT used to sound like..

I just installed this and now it's complaining it can't find the ROM's yet I had them in the folder the last time I installed. Where is it expecting the ROM's now? The INI says C:\WINDOWS like I told it too and the ROM's are there... I don't understand what's going on. EDIT: copied it into SysWOW64 …

I was going to hit archive.org but I was spending a majority of the search on textfiles.com skimming through all the relevant BBS archives. One of the developers I was looking for was "Just For Me Software" which produced RRR - Renegade Robot Retaliation (a crappy wolf3d clone) but funnily enough I …

I've been trying to look for something to fix it myself to no avail, the problem is some of the percussion patches have improper loop points. Snare drums will occasionally get stuck playing over and over again without stopping unless I reset the entire sound system. Some melodic sounds like flutes, …

Interesting... this must be a problem with MikMod then? Thanks for pointing this out! Also I think the reason why there's no stereo panning in GUS is because it's a protracker module, there's no panning information aside from "hard left" and "hard right" which were the Amiga Paula limitations.

Tested on both DosBOX 0.74 and even VituralBox running MS-DOS 6.22. I don't know why, I used to run this on really old computers before and I don't remember it doing this. Also the game appears to hang the dynamic core so it must be run as "core=normal" and on a fixed cycle count. (I think it was …

I've notice on some machines, namely ones with integrated audio hardware, will play in "slow motion" if the playback rate in the application is beyond 48 kHz. But I've only known this to happen on faulty AC 97's. Sometimes it might even rely on 44.1 kHz and going higher than that results in "slow …

The clock runs slower than real time in lower cycle counts when drawing many objects on screen at one time, and starts to get faster when nothing is on screen almost. It seems the time updates are based on how fast it can display the scene. My flickering problem is gone now, so thanks for the …

Yeah the clock runs too fast when on faster processors, which makes Action mode nearly unplayable. Also movement get's very erratic which makes the platforming very tricky to perform. What kind of display does the Tandy use? Because everytime the machine is set to Tandy I get no flicker. So I assume …

I might just try that. Also interesting to note that Wikipedia says that the requirements is a 10 MHz processor, is this really true? This game seems way to detailed for it's time to have a requirement as low as that.

That's if I run it in a non Tandy environment, the moment I switch machine to Tandy the video is fluid and not seizure inducing flickering. (Tandy 3-voice is very nostalgic) I tried machine=vgaonly and even machine=ega and it still flickers. Cycles are fixed at 3000. Any ideas? Or is this SUPPOSED …

@sklawz I'm tempted to just try that should I find a replacement mainboard for my system. Thanks. Which sysinternals application are you referring to though?

I've gotten Blood II: The Chosen, which is very similar to Shogo: Mobile Armor Division to work on x64 Windows through simply copying the files over from the drive.

Happens on anything that uses the synth, games and MIDI music in general. I'm not liking the signs of this seeing you apparently have virtually the same specs as me. Could my card be defective at this point? Hell I can't even load the SF2 that Doom64 EX uses without it crackling once everytime …

I'm skeptical that Creative's support would offer any assistance. My card is refurbished and not only that, no matter which driver I use it results in the same popping sound. It even happens on the CT2MGM.SF2 file which loads as default, the only time I NEVER experience the popping sound is with …
