Got a SC88 last week and decided to open it up for cleaning. Battery had a thin layer of crust - just a matter of cleaning the battery holder with a brush and put a new fresh battery. My experience is that some tend to leak some don't. Might have to do with usage and probably heat and humidity.

Hello everyone. Recently I got a box of soundcards and in them an OPTi with modem interface. Almost 35cm long o_O My google searches to identify the card haven't been fruitful and my experience with OPTi cards unfortunately is close to zero. Attached some pics of the card. https://i.imgur.com/ …

Did some more testing with the SoundBlaster Pro 2.0 (CT1600) . In intelligent mode SC88 works just fine but whenever a game requires UART nothing. Will not detect MPU-401. I guess I'm stuck.

Hey all... I've been using softmpu with a ROLAND MT32 hooked up to a SoundBlaster Pro 2.0 (CT1600) quite successfully. /OUTPUT:SBMIDI at address 330. Most of the games I've used this setup with work well always under pure DOS. Recently I got my hands on a ROLAND SC-88 in order to play later DOS …

hmmm that changes things drastically since CT1600 uses the "SBMIDI" interface (and NOT a mpu-401 one) then you need softmpu always loaded to get MPU functionality out of this setup. (you are using this switch right? /OUTPUT:SBMIDI ) maybe a good solution for you is use the CT1600 with a PCMIDI …

Games that use the SC-88 do not need softmpu so maybe that is the issue? The Orpheus /w pcmidi option has a pcmidi onboard so it does Roland/uart modes in hardware, if one choses the simpler version then crystal mpu is used so you will need softmpu for mt32 games (SC-88 ones will not need it , just …

Hello! I got an MT32 and SC-88 and was wondering if the card is compatible with these Roland devices as I'm struggling with softmpu. It does the job to some good extent with the MT32 but with the SC88 I've been having only issues so I'm looking for a more bulletproof solution. Thanks for the awesome …
