Logging Memory Access

Hi, is there a possibility in DOSBox to record a log of all accesses of the running program to a predefined address range? So all reads/writes are recorded? Niko

Yes it is. That is sadly not the issue. I can try what @TubeTimeUS suggested and trace signals with an LA, but it feels pretty unlikely that all 3 boards have the same soldering issue 🙁

Hi, sorry for Hijacking this Post. I have the same issue. I soldered 3 of them (some friends wanted one, too) and the issue is the same with all of them. All parts are ordered from mouser, so I don't expect a broken chip. The controller is a AT89S51-24PU. I programmed it with the classic Xgecu T48 …

Any Idea where I can get the diskettes? There seems to be no download online for the CT1330A diskettes ...

So i stripped my config.sys and my autoexec.bat to the bare minimum. I added the SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T2 line as suggested. My SBPRO 1.0 is jumpered IO_SEL 22X, INT SELECTION IRQ5, DMA SELECTION DRQ1 DACK1, JYEN NC, PC SPK NC, RSPK EN jumpered, and AUDIO PWD is jumpered second and third from the …
Problems with SB Pro 1.0 CT1330A
Posted on 2023-10-08, 15:59
Hey guys, I recently bought a Sound Blaster Pro 1.0. I Installed it in my DOS 6.22 PC and tried it. I get the basic Adlib sound from games, but there is no digital playback and most games don't recognize a Sound Blaster at all, only an Adlib. There is no conflict with IO adresses, Interrupts or DMA …

Man thats harsh. I can offer you that I order PCBs for you and ship them to you from germany. I checked, PCBs are not on the list of things that are restricted from shipping to russia! I really want this card to happen and am willing to help. I would pay for the PCBs and shipping to you. The only …

Hey, just wanted to ask what happened to this project! Was Fagear so furious about this kompas-guy that he stopped to work on this project at all?

Thanks for the reply! Did you already correct the error on ZD1 in your schematic/board? What was the error? Interesting find with the delay loop. So they already knew this problem. Where did you find the 11.8MHz crystal? They seem impossible to find ... Oh, and where is this 3 pin filter capacitor …

Is there some github or something of this project? I would like to try to assemble one myself, even if there are some flaws in this version 😀
Re: Civilization 1 Intro Sound Blaster Issues
Posted on 2023-04-19, 18:27
I found that using the civ sound tool (that was not originally supplied with the game but released later) and changing the sound to the now available SB16 output gives the correct intro, although it sounds different from the Adlib/SoundBlaster-Option. It's more polyphonic and the clicking sounds are …
Re: Civilization 1 Intro Sound Blaster Issues
Posted on 2023-04-19, 13:14
Thanks for the long answer. Of course comparing an OPL-generated music to a MT-32 looks invalid, but my point is: from the MT-32 version you can derive if the high pitched notes at the start are the intended sound or not. My SB16 is a CT1740, DSP version 4.05, so real Hardware OPL, although OPL-3. I …
Civilization 1 Intro Sound Blaster Issues
Posted on 2023-04-19, 09:22
Hi Guys, I found some issues with the Intro (so the music directly after the start of the game) of Civ1. I remember the intro from my childhood and it's one of my favorite dos tunes. In the Sound Blaster version, most OPL playback devices seem to have an issue: The music begins with a high pitched, …

Hey guys, I'm trying to find the best DOS 2D graphics card and thanks to gona's fantastic list, I found that the S3 Trio64V2/DX is somehow the best option: highly compatible and VESA 2.0 capable. Now I bought such a card. It's manufactured by a company called Cardex. I chose that onr because it has …

Is the SCB-55 of any interest in this project? Sadly besides MT-32 and DB50XG the only midi device I could offer.
Re: List of popular DOS games and their optimal sound system
Posted on 2022-05-19, 07:15
But it still holds that every composer had certain hardware in mind and if you want to listen to the game music as it was intended, you should use this hardware. For example Dune 2. While you can argue it sounds best on the SC-55 (and Frank Klepacki used this device for the recording on his homepage …

Sadly, this is only for games with MT-32 support, and most of them dont have an entry in the synth-column 🙁 But a really good start!
List of popular DOS games and their optimal sound system
Posted on 2022-05-17, 07:53
Hey guys, we all know that there isn't the one best single sound card for DOS games. The music for each game was composed with a particular sound device in mind, so if you want the "correct" music, you need the appropriate device. Of course there is a huge number of sound cards/ midi devices etc., …
