There is some software for CH products here on Vogonsdrivers. Not sure if that's what you need, but it might be worth checking out. For anybody in the future looking, the file linked here does contain the Windows 95 Combatstick drivers in the "Combat" folder. My Gameport Combatstick is showing all …

Anybody have the Windows 95 driver for the CH Combatstick? The CH website doesn't seem to have it anywhere. https://jeffpar.github.io/kbarchive/kb/178/Q178488/ According to this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article the Combatstick, Flightstick Pro, and a couple other CH devices needed an extra driver for …

I've seen some Y-splitter cables for connecting two drives to a single sound card. Can that cable be connected backwards to get the CD signal into two cards? Surprisingly I managed to get an AWE64 and an Orpheus to totally cooperate with each other in the same system, I'd be nice if both could play …

Amazing. I'm embarrassed that it didn't occur to me to check for that. Thanks again.

IDE to USB adapter is an interesting idea, thanks. Maybe an older 1999ish USB optical drive would be pre-sata too, then it wouldn't need a big enclosure and power.

Disabling the L1 cache with SetMul fixed my Ultimate Talkie Monkey Island OPL3 issue. Thanks for the advice! For some reason the MT-32 music sounds wrong, like different instruments or something. Every other game I've tried sounds totally fine, even vanilla Monkey Island, so I'm sure it's not a card …

Thank you for the info! It also might be something specific to the Ultimate Talkie Edition, a copy of the normal version of MONKEY 1 isn't glitched sounding. I should have checked that first.

I hope this is the right place to ask, I'm having trouble getting the Orpheus I to cooperate with Monkey Island 1 and 2 (Ultimate Talkie Edition) with "FMMode=OPL3" enabled. With the Crystal chip enabled instead it works fine, and every other game I've tried the OPL3 works perfectly. In the Monkey …

Duse and or usbcd.sys https://www.bootdisk.com/usb.htm The cdrom interface is kind of an attache' in dos ecosystems, and always requires a driver. Bios level usb support either emulates a ps2 mouse controller, or hooks in13 interface. It does not emulate ide controller. This is why vide.sys doesnt …

I have an HP T5740 I'm running DOS 6.22 on that has BIOS level USB support where USB keyboards, mice (with ctmouse), floppy drives, and flash drives (formatted to FAT16, interpreted as second hard drive) "just work" in DOS. I'd like to get an external CD drive working, but am not having any success. …

I used this very helpful guide (https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=1156979) to get the GUS working. I tried both the manual installation and copying the files from ULTRASND411 to C:\ULTRASND. The music sounds clear and similar to youtube videos of GUS music, but the sound effects sound very low …

I've got a thinclient running FREEDOS with a PCI Yamaha OPL soundcard as a "real hardware" gaming PC. The BIOS can recognize USB devices pretty well. Even in MS-DOS 6.22 without any special drivers a USB keyboard and mouse and floppy drive work fine. I'm having trouble with the CD drive, however. If …

You can always use a Windows 98SE boot disk and do a sys a: c: command to make it use the Windows 98SE version of DOS and FAT32 will work. This is probably the simplest solution and there isn't really a downside. If running Windows 3.1, you will need to run a patch if you want to run Windows 3.1 …

Pretty sure the original drive is using a 44-pin IDE connector. The same connector used in older laptops. The DSXGDOS installer, which is the one that includes DSDMA is supposed to be installed from within Windows and it should set everything up properly. I can always run the installer from a …

It would make sense if that flash card was just an IDE I guess, it'd make it easy to copy stuff if I needed to. I'll try setting the YMFDOS folder as PATH and letting the autoexec run everything it as it boots. I also found a 512 ram stick on eBay, so I can just use a size that doesn't freak it out …

I've tried it both ways, running SETUPDS before SETUPDS /S and vice versa in messing around with it, same result. I hope it's not just some general incompatibility with FREEDOS, there's no floppy or CD drive on the thing and the storage is some weird flash card that I've never seen before. If I had …

I feel like I'm so close to this working. It's been a whole thing to get this far, read through a lot of threads, but I've learned a lot about DOS. I got an HP thinclient T5740, trying to use it as a DOS gaming PC with FREEDOS. I've disabled in the BIOS the networking, serial and parallel stuff, and …
