Hi there, Already posted this on twitter a while ago, but i thought bringing it to the attention of the folks here might be a good idea too: I made a Windows 98 Second Edition update disk that only contains the officially released updates by Microsoft back in the day, since I always had problems …

I skimmed the thread, so apologies if this has already been covered: what's everyone's favorite 2nd (more modern) soundcard to pair with the Orpheus II? I suppose this depends on what you mean by 'more modern'. For DOS gaming, it pairs nicely with a Creative Labs AWE64. This adds native SB16 and …

I had plenty issues personally with VIA based USB cards on older systems (pre-Slot 1). I switched to an ALi based one and that ran without issues.

I have a weird bug. When using Ultramid I sometimes get hanging notes in Tyrian 2000. is that normal? I haven't had this so far - but ofcourse Tyrian sound system is so weird it would not surprise me to have more issues than we already know maybe it worths to test a different ram stick on your gus …

Thanks. That might a good idea. I will test a few things and if that does not give me my desired result i will rewire to make the GUS the primary card. What about Orphinit? Batch or executable? EDIT: PC Speaker seems to have polarity though. Had to connect + to the side that is to the CD connector …

Speaker has no polarity on orpheus so connect any way you want Wt, FM and Gus are all considered "music/synth" so they are all controlled by the FMVol setting If X2GS is too loud then connect it to a modern pc via usb and with the serdashop tools for it lower it's volume: the setting will be saved …

I played around with it a little now but i need a bit of help with Orphinit. I’m in SB mode and the GUS (which comes through line in) is a little too quiet while the wavetable (X2GS-SE) is nearly blowing out my ears. It’s routed through PC-MIDI. Which values do I need to adjust exactly since inputs …

WSS/SB makes sense since it's using IRQ 5 and DMA 1. (I'm assuming the "1,0" means the second DMA isn't assigned?) DMA0 exists. Is used for WSS sound by Tyrian for example. If no DMA is assigned it shows “NA” . What type of BIOS is in the machine. The "full list" seen above is from an Award Modular …

[...] Btw I found a way to permanently unmute the Crystal line-in in Windows DOS-Boxes (in order to get the GUS PnP working in my case). You can put the CWDMIX.EXE into the Windows AUTOEXEC.bat with a couple paramenters. Then it's active for all DOS windows that get started. Tried that with Impulse …

ah OK - then it is some BIOS/PnP naming strangeness... as long as it works who cares what the names are :) CS-MPU does not really use any IRQ - under DOS just disable with orpheus.ini and under windows just disable the device - IRQ11 will be free anyways ESFM is getting installed with the Crystal …

I already had all that stuff disabled due to using an AWE64 before. That not all the stuff is listed is just the weird way it displays things in the ISA column. And I was already using the Gravis part of your driver pack before since the default drivers are just a big headache. That’s btw also the …

That’s a GUS PnP (clone). Looks like this: Filename IMG_9644.jpeg File size 1.54 MiB Views 910 views File license Public domain

Got mine today. Great card. Filename IMG_9833.jpeg File size 1.91 MiB Views 485 views File license Public domain Had to fiddle with the DMAs and IRQs for a while. The final settings somehow work and I don’t quite understand why (with all these devices being on IRQ 3). Filename IMG_9837.jpeg File …

That should be around my birthday day then. Perfect! Thanks for the answer.

Hey guys, You’ll probably get this question often but is there any timetable on when the Orpheus II LT will be available again? I already have a GUS PnP clone and therefore don’t need the GUS part of the Orpheus II.
