Re: GOG WC1 on native DOS machine

Posted on 2023-06-06, 04:51

in DOS
It should work "out of the box" if you just want OPL FM sound/music. If you want MT-32 or something else you can edit WINGCMDR.CFG manually - I notice Phil (of Phil's Computer Lab) actually posted a guide to the options on the GOG forums here for that.

Argh I feel terrible about the wild goose chase I caused here, based on decades-old memories... I think it's more than fair to assume I'm just misremembering and/or delusional at this point about the digital effects in DOS - apologies! :( Best guess: I heard the Amiga (or SNES etc.) version …

I've found that nostalgia usually isn't a positive thing if you aren't experiencing it from a positive state of mind. Like drinking while depressed, seeking out nostalgia can just end up amplifying negative feelings, even if it's not immediately obvious... As for OP, to indulge in some bargain-bin …

Re: Show us your custom Physical mt32-pi Builds

I'm going for a slightly different custom approach, driven by two main factors: The only Raspberry Pi I could lay hands on easily when I started the project was the Model 3 A+ (right now I can't even get that :(). I wanted the install to be fully internal, and configured in software via SYSEX (using …

On Windows I run MSE for realtime scanning, mostly as a safety net. If there's something I'm suspicious of I manually scan it with ClamWin (open-source/free), which I've found to be reliable. I use Malwarebytes (free version) for the occasional malware/adware scan.

Don't know if it's helpful, but I have the version bundled with the SB Pro v2.0 and it's the same as the retail version, ie no digital effects. Thanks, that's certainly helpful. If the same version is bundled with the SB 2.0 and Pro 2.0, it does seem very unlikely that the SB Pro 1.0 or SB16 …

@Alltinker... did it have Adlib music or midi music in DOS? Definitely AdLib - the DOS versions I've found myself sound essentially identical music-wise to what I remember. I've since tried the Windows MIDI music (on vintage Windows) and I can safely say I've never heard it like that before. And …

It's actually the trapdoor creak sound I remember best, weirdly, followed by "Oh no!" from the million (give or take) times I nuked a level. Every time I hear the FM version I'm left shaking my head. The music, however, sounds nearly identical to how I remember - the only differences I'm putting …

Hardly conclusive, but here's one reference to it on this forum from 2003. I've found a few other references here and elsewhere around the net to a version bundled with the Sound Blaster Pro... Mine may have alternatively been bundled with a SB16 + CD-ROM combo pack; I still have most of the bits …
