Re: Necroware's GamePort to USB adapter for analogue and digital joysticks
Posted on Today, 02:51
I’m confused. RadioShack made adapters like this. I’ve got two of them. Radio Shack did make adapters. They were not like this and would only work with simple analog joysticks. What brand/model joysticks are you trying to use? I use my RadioShack adapter with an Interact Magnum 6. I also use a …

Re: Calcification on definition of abandoneware on Vogons.
Posted on 2023-06-04, 15:22
If a piece of software was only available with hardware and NEVER sold separately, is it ok to let people know where to get it if they ask? I think the nuance here has been missed by the replies. A recent thread was closed on abandonware grounds because someone asked about a utility that to my …

Wow, 8 months make a difference huh? Now seems like Ark weren't so bad for midrange and are available at decent price, among other things. Yep. Me then: Yep, not only did the Arc cards sell out instantly (or, only go up for preorder in Australia) I'm hardly finding any chatter around the web from …

Can you identify the sound chip on the motherboard? Get photos of all the chips if you're unsure? It may be something worth persisting with if you can get some specific advice on it.

It'll help you greatly to know what sound card you have! But without knowing that, one of the plain "Sound Blaster" entries is probably going to be a safe bet.

Just to add, since I've been playing with old Debian installs in recent weeks: If you're doing a net install and you're prompted to manually provide a mirror during that process, simply enter in the two fields: archive.debian.org /debian/ Then you can make the full changes to sources.list afterwards …
Can DXX-Rebirth use an external MIDI module under Linux?
Posted on 2023-05-29, 00:18
I'm running Lubuntu 16 on an old laptop, with a Roland SC-D70 connected. This setup works (eg. I can route MIDI to the device from Rosegarden) but I can't get DXX to use anything but the internal software synth. I have raised an issue here: https://github.com/dxx-rebirth/dxx-rebirth/issues/719 The …
