In my early Windows 95/98 days, I used to have CRT that couldn't handle 70Hz at a comfortably high resolution and worked at 60Hz. Could any monitor in the DOS era work at 70Hz? It depended on the resolution as far as I remember. The higher the resolution the lower the refresh rate was allowed. The …

Try the menu and in-game of Jazz Jackrabbit . On my machine, surfacepp with double buffering is much havier on the CPU than openglpp with vsync. Tested on the dial8 demo. Frankly, on my PC the difference is negligible to non-existant. Although, admittedly, I don't know how to measure it correctly …

I've tried several games (Duke3d, Shadow Warrior, Legend of Kyrandia, Kyrandia 2, Ultima VIII, Hocus Pocus, Dungeon Keeper) with openglpp and glfullvsync=true and false. Everything in fullscreen, of course. So far I've noticed zero visual or any other difference in behaviour between surfacepp with …

I agree with you, the sound of nuked OPL3 emulation core is more accurate than others. Here is prince of persia FLAC recorded from Sound Blaster 16 CT1740 (YMF262-M): http://hwm.us.to/famimusic/Upload/Prince%20of%20Persia%201989%20-%20Intro%20(YMF262).flac vs the nuked emu: http://hwm.us.to/ …

I added the SC-VA version but only the part where the bells are, they are there but quieter. Yes, quite a bit quieter actually, as if almost not there at all. I had to crank up the volume "to 11" to hear them. If you want the SC-55 sound, you get the SC-55 hardware. Nah, I think SC-VA emulates SC- …

sUPERtOTO009, Roland User, James-F, Falcosoft Thanks for your replies, guys! Much appreciated. Could someone confirm that in the attached midi (theme.mid) file between 1:41 and 1:56 Tubular bells (channels 14 and 15) are almost inaudible (in any mode, btw), even though it shows them as playing at a …

Hi! Could someone confirm that in the attached midi (theme.mid) file between 1:41 and 1:56 Tubular bells (channels 14 and 15) are almost inaudible (in any mode, btw), even though it shows them as playing at a high level? I was playing with SCVA yesterday and noticed this strange behaviour. I never …
