I handmade a clear acrylic case for a super socket 7 build, very happy with it, considering I'm not the most skilled at crafting. Filename IMG_20210613_154355~2.jpg File size 1.17 MiB Views 1577 views

Trawling through the internet, and I've found nothing about Sound Galaxy cards and Miles WSS mode. Looks like it's a dead end, and I have to stick with SBP mode when Miles is involved.

Interesting stuff for sure. I tried setting port 534 for the Miles games, but no luck. A couple of quick quiet static pops in the left & right channels, followed by an error that the card could not be found.

You're quite right, I'm going to modify my post, and thank them too. Unfortunately there are so many posts there about it, and I was focused on testing the drivers, that I didn't see others were involved.

I listed them on the original post, but now it's: GTA Broken Sword 1 and now Warcraft 2 They have the drivers, they just don't initialize the card.

I looked at that, but wasn't sure about the different parameters, and it didn't work, so I either got it wrong or Miles hates something about my setup.

Great news, the fix drivers modified by 640K!enough made the Sierra games work! Thanks to 640K!enough for his work there, and to Keropi & Cloudschatze for supplying the originals. Also thanks for you guys for getting me to try them. Next step is to find some Miles drivers that will work, as I only …

Good point, Oetker. I have been reading that thread (I also own an Orpheus, great card), and was considering trying the fix drivers, but I think it mentions they only effect port 534, leaving the other standard WSS ports to the original driver implementation, and the Sound Galaxy won't let me …

I have an Aztech Sound Galaxy card, and WSS works in some DOS games, but not others, and I would love to know why.

Just a bit more clarification: In the music test, under options, I can go through the different tracks, and usually they play ok, then a track will just play back with wrong percussion instruments, then try a different track and it will play ok, go back to the one that was wrong previously, and now …

I've been playing more, and it's very strange, most of the time the music will be fine, then one round will start and the drums are wrong, and then it'll go back to normal the following fight. So it seems it's quite random. Weird.

Anyone using a DreamBlaster X2 with one of these cards? I've got one connected to a Nova 16 Extra 2, and it works great, but with the exception of a single game, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, and I'm trying to debug the reason. If anyone can help test, I've made a post about it under software: …

Hmm, I will see if I can try and find some documentation about the header on this card, but I can say that it plays every other game I've tried, without issue, such as Doom and Duke 3D, and without needing softmpu. Now that's got me thinking, SSF2T is set to MPU-401 in its settings, as it doesn't …

Stable at 315, nice one. I stopped trying to push my system, after your tips let me get it stable with OK timings, but it's fun to see what you are managing.
