For some reason, codeconvert.ai is doing a better(?) job today. Here's a much better partial translation. It's got the structures and the code looks like C without jumps and register references. It also seems to somehow know the variable names, like version, minorversion and build. Maybe they've …

CGL Load translation complete. Doesn't appear to load correctly. It tries to allocate a massive amount of memory because I think some of the registers aren't setup properly. At least it's not crashing anymore.

Got my problem solved on an i865 mobo with an Audigy 2zs. Needed sata controllers and USB disabled. Thanks for your awesome setup guide. I have to say the open source sbemu has better fm than creative. Official creative drivers remind me of the midi downgrade I noticed going from an awe64 to sb pci …

I left channels at default. I doubt there's a point, I don't think this game ever relies on a huge number of simultaneously played sounds. The bugchecks are a bit of a showstopper though. That was actually kind of a thing for some games back in the day, though most of the ones I was into weren't …

Oh the messed up first journal entry also occurs on the X-Fi as well. Someone was complaining about it online a few years back and the random BSODs during map transitions.

You wrote you didn't have problems, but your sound is definitely glitchy, you're not supposed to hear all that static when the game begins. Actually, I've noticed that when playing Interstate '76 through ALchemy, some sound would occasionally play distorted. But Amnesia really pronounces the …

IDA (per screenshot). I might try to take some time this weekend and look at it a little bit more. I've got half of it translated to c++, still working on the rest. Once the translation is complete. The data structures can be properly decoded. I forgot all about ida. Didn't realise it could handle …

I figured I'd try to give a boost to the 3DB work - I've been messing around with different versions of the Creative CGL SDK for a little while. I got hold of an early version of the SDK (where the CGL driver for GiGi is linked instead of hot-loaded) from some folks who made a demoscene demo that …

Furan , do you have any idea what arg_7 is? For VRIT CGL files it's always 0x54 (84), gpuType is 0x10 (16)and version is 0xAA (170). Version and GPU type can be set to 0. Unless my manual correction is wrong. Setting it to 0 causes a failure. I've hardcoded 0x54 for now. int cdl_load(const char* …

I wouldn't know about those presets...did Sound Blaster PCI 128 have them? At least that's probably the most interesting card that some of today's PC emulators can emulate. BTW, @KainXVIII and others, can you check what EXE file opens that Audio Control Panel on the screenshot in the post above? …
