Hi, I would like to ask a favor from Pentium 4 owners. 😀 Here you can find my benchmark that can run even on Win98 when at least Directx6 is installed (but of course it also works on Win2000/XP). https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=106949 Please, run the benchmark and upload the results.

...BTW, your Audigy Rx is listed as SB Audigy 5/Rx [DFC0], mine is SB Audigy 5/Rx [EC00]. Anyone knows the meaning of these labels? It's the starting I/O address used by your card. It's like the "220" typically used by classic Sound Blaster cards. It's not part of the card's type and can be …

I think this latest version of VSBHDASF is broken, at least on an HDA sound card. I've tried games like Charlie the Duck, Super Angelo, and Sint Nicolaas, but I can't get them to run with MPU-401 sound. I have just tested the new release with my Intel HDA/Realtek codec (Lenovo T430) and it works …

Hmm. According to new results it seems Zen 4 Ryzen is even slower on x87 FPU calculations than Zen 2... Ryzens_FPU.png @Edit: In case of Zen4 the FPU result is less then 1/2 of the ALU result, less than 1/4 of the SSE2 result, and less than 1/8 of the SSE/AVX result. In case of other non-Zen CPUs …

In Geekbench 2 there are also some FPU tasks which run faster on K8/K10 than they do on Steamroller or Zen. I suspect that this is true for all common FPU intensive tasks since the used instructions in the X87 FPU function are only additions, subtractions, multiplications and FPU stack manipulation …

Thanks @argh for your results! So far it seems Ryzen 5 3500X dominates the micro-architecture race except for x87 FPU performance. It seems on Ryzen the x87 FPU is not only 'not faster' but definitely slower compared to previous AMD/Intel CPU generations. This is somewhat understandable since in …

Dexed is VST3 only. Midi Player can only host VST2 plugins natively. But of course Midi Player can work with the Dexed 'standalone application' with the help of a virtual Midi cable. But you should not expect the Dexed plugin to play normal Midi files properly. The plugin is not GM/GS/XG compatible …

It's very easy. You can insert the command at any channels exactly at the point where you want the song to end. You should first type 'B' as the command and then the pattern position where you want the song to jump to. 00 means the 1st pattern , 01 the 2nd pattern and so on. HI, I've done this in …

In case of most module files it is very hard to determine where a song ends so where to insert the loop end point. You have to hear it real-time. The easiest solution is to insert a 'Position jump' command at the proper place in the MOD/XM/IT file itself. The mod2midi converter recoginzes this …

Sorry for bothering again. It would be possible when creating the midi from the MOD file, to loop the mod once to have the midi file longer? Some Mod should specify restart pattern for loop too (for example ironseed has the first track looping at the restart position 21 (info from openmpt) while …
