Hmm, has anyone ever done any video comparisons between the two? Also, is it possible to directly access the SC-55's synth engine and program sounds that don't use samples?

I've long wondered, was the SC-55 actually a synthesizer, or simply a ROMpler with a distinctive instrument set? I know it uses samples to an extent, but what does it do with them that distinguishes it from the Roland MIDI synth built into Windows?

It would definitely be interesting to see. I mean, seeing full motion video on a 5150 with SoundBlaster audio is impressive enough, but I think it would be really cool if there were a way to do something similar on completely stock hardware. I think making the code compatible with newer machines …

I like the specs of your build, though if you really want to give it that early-mid 2000s flair, I'd suggest putting it in a really cheesy looking case with custom fan grills, cold cathode lighting, led fans, chrome detailing... ;) But then again, there's something to be said for sleeper rigs, …

If you want a small form factor with a peppier CPU but with full ISA support, try and find a D845GECL. There are some on still ebay. The following photo is SIMILAR to my board. There are a number of listings on ebay of 845GL/854GL, etc. Some have winbond chips some do not. They all appear to be …

Rockstar never really got the hang of working with high framerates until the PC version of GTA V was released. :P Compared to the travesty that was the PC version of GTA IV, GTA V is surprisingly well optimized. The in game VRAM meter is a lying POS though. I can play quite well at around an average …

That's too bad. Truthfully it's been a long time since I've actually messed with vintage hardware, but if Wikipedia is anything to go by, the CQM doesn't sound very good in comparison to a real OPL3. 🤣

DosBox is made for running games, not mission-critical equipment, and as such its emulation is imperfect. To be honest, I wouldn't even trust vDOS if accurate calculations are essential. I'd set up a dedicated machine running an actual copy of MS-DOS or at the very least FreeDOS instead.
