Really surprised to see the game being discussed here. Gave up the game 25 years ago after a long, long maze in the latter part of the game. :sweatdrop: The maze... Yeah, I see. But now it is OK, I guess, since we have so many guide articles. Now the Steam version contains the orignal DOS version …

Thank you very much for your lengthy explanations, PalMusicFan. The depth of analysis is very much appreciated. This goes a long way into explaining why an English translation of the DOS version, running in DOS, has not been done yet! According to your #4 above, a new English bit-mapped (8x15) font …

Where, if known, are the offsets in the DOS executable for the hard-coded Japanese language Kanji? And, would it even be possible to hard-code English text directly into the DOS executable? Probably not, or next to impossible, correct? Let me explain as follows: 1. The font is NOT hard-coded in PAL …

It really does need to be made clear somewhere that you cannot play the DOS version in English in DOS , only using the SDLPal binary within Windows. It needs a matrix of versions and platform binaries to show what is possible, because frankly, it's about as clear as mud! :D If we could have an SDL …

Hello there. I think I need to clarify a few things. 1. The English patch and SDLPal are two separate projects that have intersected in recent years, but have different origins and different purposes. As far as I know, the English Patch is made from Win9X version, because Win9X version uses Windows' …

Does it happen instantaneously on the real chip? Or still takes some measurable time? I was coding a mod player and had problems with popping on certain mods where a looped sample would stop abruptly. I did try a simple low-pass filter with averaging consecutive samples together which helped a …

Wow! It sounds great! Thanks so much! So... how do we start experimenting?

One thing that is possible in emulation is to lowpass filter the phase output, so that sudden changes such as what produces the clicks will get smoothed out. The filter will need to take account the phase increment, otherwise you're gonna destroy higher freq sounds but overall I think the idea …

There are always some audible "clicks" at the start of certain notes when playing OPL2/3 music tracks. Please read this issue for details: https://github.com/adplug/adplug/issues/54 I did a test in the OPL2/3 emulator core of woodyopl and found why these "clicks" exist. The following is my summary: …

@kodi, is it an analog output problem or a digital output problem?

In that case, there are bettter thread for that, this is about digital sound output. Both games are working for me on Yamaha 7x4 for me, for details look at this list: https://docs.zoho.com/sheet/published.do?rid=8mn7n8efd4da1b3034db1a04bf92a9209e034 Sorry, got it. I could get pretty good digital …

It seems DOOM and WARCRAFT work well with TSR loaded, but DISNEY’s LionKing and TOMB RAIDER don’t work even if there is setupds loaded only. Is there any solution? Its working fine with analog? I don’t think so. It seems the problem has no relationship with YMF7xx. After DOS4GW information being …

The CMI8738 really suffers in game compatibility on most chipsets, try getting hold of an YMF based PCI card with SPDIF instead. I am using a DATALAND YMF 724 card with SPDIF support. It works well with SPDIF enabled by the tool of YMF7xx. The sound is pretty different if I use the analog output ( …

Is there anyway to set the FM output via SPDIF as close as it comes out from the YMF289 unit?

Hi, I finally had some time to finish my YMF7XX tool. Now it has commandline options that allows you to enable SPDIF (even with line-in ADC input - for dreamblaster mixing) and you can read/write MMIO registers for experimenting. If you want to write a mixer setting, then you must use 16-bit write …
