Ultima 7 is a DOS game. I can't imagine a Windows 95 application being impacted by the "files" setting in the config.sys. Forgive my ignorance, but I assumed Windows 95 might be affected by this setting, being run on a foundation of DOS. However since 95 is a 32 bit extender of sorts, I guess it …

I believe the OP stated he has copy all files from cd to hdd, therfore it cannot be the cd causing the problem. I would perhaps try setting the *files* setting in config.sys to a higher level. I know for example Ultima 7 has an issue installing when *files* is set below a certain number.

Having listened to the new arrangements once through, I must say I really like them. I will say it's a somewhat darker take than the original, in that a believe there is a mild de-tuning of some of the instruments in many selections inducing a sort of 'otherness' vibe, but I think it works. For $15 …

I would have to say my favourite is Quest For Glory Shadows of Darkness. Haunting but powerful score. Of honourable mention is also Daggerfall, I loved a lot of the music from that game.

Hello all, I thought I'd just pass on something I found out about last week. Aubrey Hodges posted on one of my youtube videos(Shadows of Darkness music vid) that he'd recorded the entire Shadows of Darkness soundtrack recorded with real instruments on his website. It's available for as little as $15 …

Jazz Jackrabbit, Zone 66, there are a number of Epic Mega-games pinball games that took great advantage of the gus too. Unfortunately the number of games that have direct GUS support are not very many. If I'm not mistaken I believe the original Unreal also used tracker music so that may interest you …

The GUS is great for games that use the tracker format, it could mix the different voices in hardware and therefore sounded better than the Sound Blaster type cards of the era. It's midi quality while good, is inferior to what an external module like a SC-55 can deliver. Also the GUS is not MT32 …

I used to have a Turtle Beach Rio which uses the same ICSWavfront chip and I seem to recall there being a dos utility that allowed one to load patches. It's been so long that I could be mistaken though. I think it was called the wavefront utility or perhaps wfutil.exe for the file name. Sorry I …

It appears from discussion on this thread that the stated 44.1 on Wikipedia is a mistake, which of course makes sense to me now. I really like the sound of the 55 mk2, only I wish sometimes said sound would 'breathe' a little more. Ah well lol I can wish the stars start dancing in the night sky as …

The SCC-1 has a 44.1kHz output sample rate. This says nothing about the actual sound quality of the DAC. Until 2000, Roland intentionally made nearly all of their products output 32kHz, even if they were using DACs capable of sample rates of 96kHz. The instrument samples used by the SC-55 and …

Hello all, I'm new to the forum. I rather enjoy listening to old Sierra sountracks on my SC-55 Mk2 and MT-32 1st generation and playing the games, there's something about the sound that transfixes me. Now I that could finally afford these units I really appreciate it, as I only had a sb16 when …
