Re: MT-32 Windows 98 / DOS Weirdness

I finally figured out my problem and it ultimately wasn't directly related to the MT-32. The problem turned out to be related to resource conflicts. Every time I started the PC, I believe IRQs were being assigned randomly and in certain cases, they conflicted with the Yamaha card. For some reason, …

Re: MT-32 Windows 98 / DOS Weirdness

I'm still at a loss here. Is anyone aware of any behavioral differences between restarting from Windows 98 into DOS mode the first time and starting in DOS mode subsequent restarts? I speculated there might be differences in when AUTOEXEC.BAT vs. DOSSTART.BAT gets run, but none of my testing has led …

Re: MT-32 Windows 98 / DOS Weirdness

I thought I found a lead when reading http://www.flaterco.com/kb/audio/ISA/index.html . Having jumped through that hoop, the YAMAHA SAx Setup Utility 2.20 (SETUPSA.EXE) does work, albeit with the inconvenient behavior of trashing AUTOEXEC.BAT each and every time the card is initialized. …

MT-32 Windows 98 / DOS Weirdness

I recently got the original MT-32 and have been tinkering with it. I'm using it with a Windows 98 computer that has a Yamaha Audician 32 Plus sound card (set to IRQ5). I am also using SoftMPU. If I first boot to Windows 98 and then restart in MS-DOS mode, run SoftMPU and then play a game (e.g.: Doom …

Re: VGA Capture Thread

It does rather well. I can make screenshots or a video from OBS for comparison if anyone wants. DOS text modes, VGA and SVGA work fine in titles that I've played, I didn't run any specialized test programs, don't know any, but if anyone can point out what to test with I'll give it a try. It seems …

Re: VGA Capture Thread

Currently I'm using Startech USB3HDCAP and Micomsoft XPC-4. Lack of translation in XPC-4 firmware makes things somewhat challenging to navigate but its picture quality is really great and its scaler tries best to keep pixels without turning them into blurry mess. It comes with seemingly quite thick …
