A Voodoo2 is worth it (or not worth it, POV-dependent) in the same way that a Gravis Ultrasound is. It's a niche product and so are the reasons for wanting one. Still perfectly valid.

I've got a couple of Voodoo cards, a 1 and a 2 (and a). I'm new to 3dfx so I don't know the waters. Tried Carmageddon, but the multi patching complexity means I can't be *100.00% certain* if any error is hardware, or software. So I need a simple compatible-out-of-the-box reliable software to test …

This is good info to add to the collective knowledge, thanks. I have read that it is tough to nail down the *exact* characteristics of FM chips without a complex database of fourier comparisons across many different cards. That is, to truly isolate what is the FM chip, and what is "the rest of the …

@Shreddoc I'm sorry, I've been busy these days. Anyway, that OPL4 info has nothing to do with this. Your YMF704C is a totally different chip, it has builtin MIDI interpreter. MIDI signal can be directly fed to pin 35 (RXD). That is what is used on your card. The point is in the digital sound …

Re: OPL4 cards such as mine. Quoted below, which may or may not be relevant to the development work, is peripheral information from the page: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/44-voice-midi-on-yamaha-opl4/ " MPU-401 Compatibility: For MIDI playback it’s important whether a card has a “real” MPU-401 …

I just wanted to remind you about this, in case there was anything you could do in future. Basically, the ability to switch between the Internal MPU (which is the card's own MIDI chip) and External MPU (Joystick Port out), if possible. Unfortunately the workaround of muting FM does not affect the …

Routing it through sound card can be useful. I bet we have all suffered that "funny moment" when you accidentally have your amplifier switched on and volume up high... then the PC boots up... ***BEEP!!!!!!!!*** *instant tinnitus

Just a suggestion, doing it manually in a batch file could be one method. e.g. PLAY3X.BAT Copy code to clipboard 1 DOSMID SONG.MID 2 DOSMID SONG.MID 3 DOSMID SONG.MID FOREVER.BAT Copy code to clipboard 1 :START 2 DOSMID SONG.MID 3 GOTO START

ADDED: I noticed that music had a strange polyphony / discordance. Suddenly realised, all port 330 GM played through the card, is simultaneously playing through the joystick port MPU *and* the card's internal GM (a Yamaha YMF704C). Maybe I'm doing something wrong there? I can work around it by …

I'm so happy. This latest release seems to have my AD1816 based Gallant SC-70P PLUS operating perfectly under DOS now. Until now, working DOS drivers were no longer available anywhere online (only Windows), so this has been huge. Currently enjoying some premium Realmode DOS gaming tests, with the …

Super cool. Really enjoying your work, and following the project closely.

Not sure if this is a good question. I was just wondering why the Yamaha YMF7 0 4 family doesn't seem to fall under the "Yamaha YMF7x4" umbrella? my It fits the naming mask. But perhaps it is a completely different sub architecture. The YMF704 is the OPL4 synth chip and has top be paired with other …

Hi there! I am new user of this forum. I read it over the years but I thought I had nothing to contribute, until now (I hope) . I made a DOS tool for my own use some months ago, but now I decided to release it, because I think it may be useful for someone else, so here it is: It is called "Unisound …
