Re: BASSMIDI Soundfont MIDI Synthesiser Driver for Windows XP/Vista/7
Posted on 2016-04-09, 05:21
Are you sure the soundfont is loaded into BASSMIDI properly? When you open BASSMIDI Driver Configuration, is the soundfont listed in the program window under the correct tab? You could put it both on "SoundFonts (port A)" and "SoundFonts (port B)" to make sure (and remember to click "apply"). Which …
Re: What's the best FM music you've heard?
Posted on 2016-04-08, 14:12
Not a DOS game but a PC-98 one, but the soundtrack of YU-NO by Ryu Umemoto (with contributions from Ryu Takami and Kazuhiro Kanae) has not only great FM instrument synthesis but is also one of the very best videogame soundtracks I've ever heard, period.

Re: No CRT Emulation? Why!?

https://github.com/libretro/common-shaders/tree/master/crt/crt-royale This may be the most robust and sophisticated CRT shader ever created. The amount of options and settings it sports is nothing short of insane. So I recently tried out the DOSBox core in RetroArch 1.2.2, with the CRT Royale …

You can hex edit the game to fix the problem: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=31657#p260253 I got it working fine. On a real Tandy 1000, it is possible to play an unglitched version of Maniac Mansion with Tandy sound : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC8_eS4PA4c&list=UUbAMtlmtT7xVraTETqiNCDw …

I'm careful though since they are using bloody ScummVM in many games. Found out the hard way with 7th guest. A virtual door stopper so to speak :depressed: I take it that the main reason that you dislike ScummVM is that the executables, drivers, etc. have been stripped. I, too dislike when a game …

I used Ykhwong's build, which has the full core option... I didn't realize it wasn't in the official builds anymore. But yeah, I think the key factor was right speed. Full core, being slow, aparently slowed the setup enough to prevent the speed crash while still being fast enough to allow fullscreen …

I'll bump this, as I had the same problem with Torin's Passage but found the solution, which I'm posting here for all to see. It involved running the installation setup with core=full, so it wouldn't crash during the video speed test phase. Now the videos are in full screen! The resulting RESOURCE. …

Hey, you're one of my subscribers, thanks for that! =D Guess what I'm going to post next =P *reads PM* Ohhhh, so you're VengefulChip, from YouTube! :-D I remember reading that the guys who did the music for the special edition had to transcribe the extra tracks by ear (including all the additional …

I've noticed the same behaviour, CD audio still plays even when all relevant sound devices are disabled in DOSBox. But the sound effects do change. You get digitized samples when SoundBlaster is selected, OPL2 effects with AdLib etc. Just the music stays as CD audio. @Robin4: I'm only using this CD …

Re: Monkey Island 1 CD door closing sound
Posted on 2013-11-13, 06:20
Makes one wonder if this was used as intentional effect, to shave a few bytes off the sound file... I wonder why'd they do that in a CD where you have lots of space... Where exactly can I test this door sound? At what part of the game, hopefully early on without having to play too much :) I always …

I've managed to get a cleaner recording from the speakers now. Finally the answer has been revealed to us. No longer shall we live in doubt. Ladies and gentlemen... *drumroll* ...my phone recording must simply have been bad. The sound must've echoed in the room or something. While the sound does …
Re: Monkey Island 1 CD door closing sound

I checked the multi-language CD on all languages. They're all have the same door close sounds. After this very short SOU resource follows the ADL resource. There is no more sample data in the resources. I even checked the Sega version, which also has the same short sample. I wonder, is there a …
Re: Monkey Island 1 CD door closing sound
Posted on 2013-11-07, 13:58
I notice that the FM (AdLib/OPL2) sound effect for a closing door is something like "Ta-DUMM". Perhaps that has colored your memory. You can get FM sound effects in the CD version with settings of sbtype=none oplmode=opl2, or run MONKEY.EXE with an "a" parameter. Or, more likely, I was somewhat …

Which version of Dosbox? Can you try a svn build? Sorry that I forgot to mention, but it was a SVN build that I recorded in, r3841 from EmuCR. But the same issue is in 0.74 and Ykhwong's build. The closing sound, which I assume follows the opening sound, is very brief and barely audible in your …

Well what do you know, there actually was a Windows 98 machine that I could access fairly easily. There was one at the school my mother works in. Long story short, I quickly recorded the same thing but with my phone from the speakers. Despite the obviously poor quality, it sounds more natural and …
Re: Monkey Island 1 CD door closing sound
Posted on 2013-11-05, 14:48
No, it's definitely the exact same CD I used on a Windows 98 and 95. All the other sound effects play correctly as I remember them, it's just the door closing one that is jarringly different.
Monkey Island 1 CD door closing sound
Posted on 2013-11-05, 14:22
There's some weird bug with a sound effect in the CD version of The Secret of Monkey Island. Namely, the sound of a door closing sounds like a pop. I no longer have a real DOS-compatible machine, but I clearly remember that it's supposed to be more like a "Ta-DUMM" sound. Maybe it's cut off too …
