OK, thank you all. Sorry for stupid question 😀

@SW-SSG > DAC quality is one spec you could compare, but so are other things like amount of voices/channels of polyphony and the maximum bit-width of supported output (AD)PCM sample data. Agreed -- complex comparisons are much move objective (and therefore better). @keenmaster486 > For example, …

Here I tried to arrange some sound cards and sound devices from worse (in the top of list) to better ones (in the bottom). Do you agree with it? Please correct me. By the words "worse" and "better" I assume the quality of sound. * AdLib series (1988) * The Creative Music System / Game Blaster * …

@SirNickity Thank you very much -- very thorough answer. I never assumed that such "simple" things are actually so complex.

@jheronimus Thank you very much, very simple and thorough answer. I'm trying to create a database of my favorite games, and it should be like this: "The Secret of Monkey Island" versions (DOS) | | Colors | Resolution | Sound | Media type | Release date …

@LunarG Well, from what you said it seems that this version is the most accurate: Monkey Island versions | Graphics | Sound ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Floppy disk EGA version | 16 colors, 320 × 200 | AdLib and compatible | | to it sound cards …

Thanks again. Well, here is the comparison table of "The Secret of Monkey Island" versions: Monkey Island versions | Graphics | Sound | Release date --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Floppy disk EGA version | 16 colors, 320 × 200 | AdLib | 1990 Floppy …

Thanks. Well, but what is the proper way to refer to the "sound implementation" in games? One game is intended to work with "Roland MT-32". Could we say that this game have MIDI music? Another game is intended to work with "AdLib" sound card. Could we say that this game have "FM synthesized" sound? …

I'm trying to understand how "FM synthesis" and "MIDI synthesis" are relative to each other. For example, in one article that I found on the Internet ( here it is ) it is said that... > the process by which sounds cards produce audio output from MIDI input is called synthesis. There are three …

Thank you very much. Indeed, it works correctly now.

Hmm. Not sure I completely understand. > The drive letters of the host OS don't really matter to the drive letters in DOSBox But in my case it will not work with anything except j. Here is the complete way: 1. I create Games directory in C:\ 2. I run this: mount c c:\games imgmount x "c:\users\john\ …

I have some game which requires to have CD inserted in CD drive. Of course, I haven't this CD (I have lost it long ago). But I have this game in BIN/CUE format. Here is the dosbox.conf which I use for this game: [cpu] cycles=20000 [autoexec] imgmount j "c:\users\john\downloads\games\this game\game. …
