Re: MIDI to VGM translator

Updated. Now includes an XM-to-MIDI conversion tool (win32) where you choose a GM instrument number, volume level, and octave for each of up to 16 XM instruments. Supports volume and panning effects. Because some MIDIs hit a drum for a very short duration, eg. 8 milliseconds, a minimum key-on time …

Re: How to get a secondary monochrome monitor working in DOS and how to connect it to a modern display?

Forget it. All EGA/VGA cards that can "emulate mono" in varying degrees do not just use the mono I/O port range (3B0..3BF), but also the extended EGA I/O port range (3C0..3CF). In mono emulation mode, the cards do not use the CGA color I/O port range (3D0..3DF). You can only have one EGA/VGA type …

Re: How to get a secondary monochrome monitor working in DOS and how to connect it to a modern display?

Just to clarify, I am talking about having a second ISA card that supports the necessary switches/jumpers to run as a mono card, like this one: https://www.minuszerodegrees.net/manuals/video_seven_vega_vga_configuration.txt It's not clear whether it can run as a mono card and still output a VGA …

Re: How to get a secondary monochrome monitor working in DOS and how to connect it to a modern display?

I think parallel ports on MDA cards are at 0x3BC ? Whereas other parallel ports are usually at 0x278 or 0x378. Probably wouldn't be an issue. EGA/VGA cards can be configured through software to respond to the address ranges for either color or mono. Some cards also had dipswitches to choose the type …

Re: Nostalgia for old Graphics Programs?

I can barely remember using some graphics program for DOS. I thought it was Harvard Graphics, but then I looked through some ancient files salvaged from MFM drives and found I have a copy of HG 2.1. Looks different from what I remember. Maybe a different version. There was also a drawing program for …

Re: Why Does It Seems Like Japanese Ports of US Made Games From Late 80's/Early 90's Are More Advanced Than The US Versi

In terms of games and gaming hardware, it seems like the US had a wave of innovation and investment in the late '70s and early '80s. Then it died out and things stagnated. Japan essentially took the lead from the mid '80s. So the time period OP mentioned is one in which the US side didn't put a lot …

Re: SBVGM (DOS) VGM Player

I asked before about ESFM being added to the VGM spec, but receiving no answer I just filled out the header the same as OPL3 and then used the reserved 0xCF command for ESFM register writes. Now that ESFM is in Furnace and there are some compositions, hopefully they settle on a plan so VGMs can also …

Re: Anyone know of a card that only had an OpenGL 1.0 ICD?

in Milliways
It's a good idea - but my engine needs at least Windows 95 to run. I wonder if the original release of Windows 95 included the 1.0 software renderer ? This would've pre-dated the 1.1 spec. I'm going to try that out later tonight. Windows 95 didn't have one until MS released the OPENGL95.EXE addon, …

Re: Linux equivalent for Windows' "SYS.COM" tool

in Milliways
I missed this part of the mkfs.vfat man page: BUGS mkfs.fat can not create boot-able filesystems. This isn't as easy as you might think at first glance for var‐ ious reasons and has been discussed a lot already. mkfs.fat simply will not support it ;) The problem for a FOSS project is that bootable …
