@datajake1999: That's great news. At least it is within the realm of possibility then that we could someday see a Linux version of this great synth. BTW, you may want to give Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop a try. It is the closest Linux version to being like Windows and it is very intuitive …

@schlang: I'm not anti-Windows. I'm anti privacy invasion and I'm also anti corporate-assisted government spying. Both of which, Microsoft have been discovered to have been guilty of doing and are currently, at this very moment, guilty of doing. There is a huge difference. Also as Digger kindly …

@datajake1999: Do you have a Linux version planned? Munt has a Linux version and since your project is based on Munt, I though it might not be too difficult to do a port to Linux. I'm sure there would be many people such as myself that would appreciate a way of running this great synth on Linux. As …

@datajake1999: Many thanks for updating your Github Wiki page. The more details, the better. :) I enjoy studying the history of how these programs come about and to have a better understanding of their internal workings. The better I understand their internal workings, the better use I can make of …

@datajake1999: I love the work that you've done with this project so far. I've already spent several happy hours today playing around with this synth. If you don't mind me asking, how did you do the Apogee version of this synth? It sounds totally different than the stock "Windows OPL3 Synth" version …

@nukeykt: Thanks for the link to OPL3EMU. That's very cool what they've been able to do with your awesome OPL3 driver. This will keep me entertained for hours! 🤣. BTW, I'm a huge fan of your work. Thank you for freely sharing your work with the world. 😀

@ik777: You may want to check out the guide that I just wrote on getting a Yamaha YMF7x4 series sound card working on a modern motherboard with modern Windows. The Yamaha cards have a true OPL3 in them instead of the imperfect OPL3 clone that is in these CMI8738 cards. I got one of the CMI8738 cards …

DOSBox Guide To OPL3 Passthrough Using Yamaha YMF7x4 Sound Cards In this guide I intend to lay out the steps necessary to get a Yamaha YMF7x4 series sound card to output legacy OPL3 FM modulation and pass that through to DOSBox in order to replace the poor quality built in OPL3 emulation in DOSBox. …

Bingo! I finally found a working link to the very elusive YMF7x4 Utilities 1.0 AKA "Yamaha Utilities"! :) http://www23.tok2.com/home/muvosquare/test/y7x4util10.lzh The only problem is that it is half in English and half in Japanese. Do we have any members here that can translate the Japanese parts …

@Stretch: I tried the method that you suggested and posted the results on the "Yamaha YMF7x4 Guide" thread. I didn't want to hijack this thread too badly. I've also since read on other threads on VOGONS that this CMI8738 doesn't even have a real OPL3 anyway. It is only a clone and not a perfect one …

@Stretch: I just spent the last several hours trying the method that you posted and I've come closer with it than I have by any other method so far; however, I still can't seem to get the ports opened up for FM passthrough to DOSBox. Everything else is working flawlessly under Windows 7 32bit. I'm …

I managed to get a C-Media CMI8738 PCI SX to work using the Peek/Poke method described in this thread, but the sound that it made was terribly distorted. I'm not sure if I got a defective card or if the version of the card that I got off of eBay is too new and doesn't have a real OPL3 in it. …

I've got a Yamaha Audician 32 Plus that this would be perfect for, assuming the price is right. It's great to see that MIDI daughterboards are still being produced this day and time. They are almost a must for getting the best out of old 90's era games and the old period-correct boards are getting …

Try Uniflash next time. I use it on most boards, from 486 machines to socket A stuff. Thanks for the tip. I've never used Uniflash before. I'll have to look into it. It seems every time I try to get one of these old motherboards up and running, it requires many hours of painstaking research and …

@pojo: Thank you very much for your solution! I just had the same exact problem with an ABIT BH6 board. I got the same exact error message and everything when using AWDFLASH version 8.99. Like you, I also read through the entire manual looking for the solution to find no answers at all. I just …
