Re: Crazy Idea - MT32 WaveBlaster Card

The display is part of the experience too. Yeah, I thought that too. Maybe I'll make a WaveBlaster card, and then a custom enclosure the card can be inserted into to make it a standalone unit with MIDI interfaces and LCD..? So why not a display that fits in the tower (like a DVD or floppy drive) …

Can you try to boot up with only your video card in your computer? Start windows from the command prompt like that: in dos type this (without the ): win /D install the drivers when you are in Windows, keep your fingers crossed ;-) and reboot. If you can start in safe mode with the video card, you …

can you also see what video card you have and find the right drivers and install them in safe mode? IF you use the selective startup a lot of stuff won't work anyways, so you "should" always be able to start windows. is it windows 98 or 95?

Keropi, If you use the isa pins to add extra features won't you risk to create a mess with resource conflicts or driver issues? Is the argus project completed? last time I saw info about that it was kind off on hold.

Or to finally be able to have awe32 (or awe64) + roland + covox + midi daughterboard would be the ultimate experience in one system to rule them all

Hello, First I want to thank you for the amazing frontend, easy to use, and fun to have one place where you can have all your old games by the hand! I may have a suggestion, it would be nice to have a noption to look in subfolders to import games. Other than that, since a moment I have the program …

regarding the hanging note bug, I think I'm lucky that I didn't have to suffer from that with my cards, the only time I have that issue is when the game crashes, or when I "force quit" the game.

I understand, It makes a lot of sence, and I forgot that some cards didn't have the wavetable header ... There are a lot of good and "cheap" options for general midi, the dream blasters are amazing. Would you be able to use a midi daughterboard together with an external MT-32 for example?

this might be a stupid question, but what will the wavetable header provide if you are able to hook it up to a midi device?

A little update on my issue, I think it may be more a driver related issue than a settings issue, it's a PNP card, and everything is detected correctly, and I don't have any issues on Windows IRQ or DMA issue will more cause a "no sound" issue instead of "faint sound" There is something comming out …

Hi Frasco, Thank you for your reply, I started to have an irq conflict before but was able to address that by checking features in the bios. I don't have any conflicts anymore, and when dunning "diagnose" everything is detected the way it should, and don't have any "hanging notes" unless i "force …

This forum is for DOS games on modern systems. That does not come out of the forum's description "Getting old DOS games working" at all. In fact, the description is then utterly misleading.

Hello, I posted it in a wrong part of the forum, so here am I. I have a soundblaster awe32 (CT3980) and I'm having issues with midi. The volume of the midi is way to low when I select general midi, it seems muted. When selecting AWE32 everything works fine. I have no conflicts with IRQ, DMA, ... The …
