Re: Rant "Requires Windows"

Check the release date of the game or software (version) and see which versions of Windows were still supported by Microsoft at that time. Unless specifically stated, assume it only works on those versions. It sucks, but I think the reason is many devs don't maintain or have access to historical …

It's basically an ultra low latency audio protocol. For games you'll be just fine. If you were using Nuked-SC55 in place of a real MIDI module to create music with MIDI instruments. You might want it so the sounds play back more quickly. But for emulation you're unlikely to notice a difference. …

Can someone explain what ASIO support adds, or specifically if it adds something for emulation? Tried Googling it, didn't give me a clear answer. People here seem to be quite happy with it though, so was wondering if I'm missing out on something.

I also have an Acer LCD panel with an IPS panel that I once believed might be the same as the one in the Philips (not that sure anymore). The Acer has that textured look on a specific light blue gradient, but only, AFAICR, starting at 55ish Hz refresh rate and going upward (I experimented). I …

The Philips 252B9 might be an option, but I believe the panel use FRC and has an oddly textured look on some uniform color areas when running at native resolution AND >60Hz. Its scaler can force any resolution to display pillarboxed as 4:3, even non square pixel ones. AFAICR, it displays 16:9 …

Windows 11. The main reason is I can no longer trust my operating system to still function the same way it did last time the next time it boots, and the whole concept of forced updates (I know you can prevent these to some extent) just rubs me the wrong way. I need to be able to trust in my PC …

Thanks for the info. So it's not related to floppy images (or IndyDesk?) specifically, but it is to the version of Win3, DOSBox or the combination of both? As I mentioned Staging did work, but a different version of Win3 might work with SVN as well?

Hi, I tried installing Indiana Jones and his Desktop Adventures from an imaged floppy with 'imgmount a [theimage] -t floppy' and initially didn't get it to work.

Re: Are multiple MT-32 (and CM-32) BIOSes useful for emulation?

in MT-32 General

By the way, does MUNT emulate / replicate the MT-32 'old' buffer overflow behaviour, or is this an advantage it has over real hardware? Not sure if there would be any benefit to accurately replicating it, but perhaps it comes as a side effect of using the 1.0x BIOS. If I would be keeping an MT-32 ' …

The CM-32L bios should be avoided when not needed, as it changes the panning to the incorrect panning used by that device (it is off slightly from "correct" panning that the MT-32 uses and therefore messes with the stereo image as intended, particularly with panned sound effects). MT-32 old or new …

Are multiple MT-32 (and CM-32) BIOSes useful for emulation?

Recently seeing how many different BIOS versions are supported by MUNT in ScummVM and DOSBox forks, I was wondering if there is any value in switching between them if all you are doing is game emulation. My understanding was that just a CM-32 BIOS should be good for most uses (though very few games …

Hi, I recently discovered and obtained 4D Driving for FM Towns, but noticed a 're-release' specifically for the Marty also exists. I am not really familiar with the Marty. Does anyone know what or if there are any differences between these two releases of 'Stunts'? Controller support, better (or …
