AWE64 Legacy, Orpheus and many others also not a reproduction of any retro hardware. But they are in the list. I'd say these need to be removed rather than the dreamblaster cards be added, but.. touche. Out of curiosity, what is your definition of "reproduction"? Because, if you're looking for 1:1 …

I am surprised by this since it's mentioned in the thread, but the excellent Dreamblaster lineup of wavetable boards (X1, X2, X2GS and by extension the McFly module) is missing from the top post. They are in many ways superior boards to the Yucatan FX, which is listed instead. As excellent as they …

Now command EDIT stopped to work for me: bad command or file name. Ok, fixing path helped and command WIN runs Windows 3.11 no matter where I am. :D You probably messed up the existing PATH variable. Your autoexec.bat should already have had one, and if you simply added SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS at the …

When I did this It showed the following after I confirmed to let it process the startup device drivers: This driver is provided by Oak Technology, Inc.. OTI-91X ATAPI CD-ROM device driver, Rev D91XV352 (C)Copyright Oak Technology Inc. 1987-1997 Device Name: MSCD001 Transfer mode: Programmed I/O …

Post Mortem. Some games age like fine wine, but this one aged like milk. i always think that means the game was a bit off to begin with a game like Doom has aged very badly in some ways - you cant even jump for a start! anyway, despite it's apparent flaws and lack of features it somehow still plays …

Tiido, find me a known game, that ES1xxx cards can not handle. Rambo 3 doesn't play FM synth music on an ES1868F. There's a report about it here and I have since confirmed this on my own card as well. It's a fairly old game, so I'm guessing it expects Creative's Adlib/FM synth driver or some such. …

Sooo... After searching high and low, I'm considering this one. I really didn't find any with the LM386 amps as well as a dedicated oscillator I wouldn't get a sound card that doesn't have a dedicated oscillator. Relying on the ISA bus clock for that purpose can be problematic on certain …

Sooo... After searching high and low, I'm considering this one. I really didn't find any with the LM386 amps as well as a dedicated oscillator, but the amp on this one is an UTC2025; I can't make out the past number clearly, but to me it looks like it reads 7M156. Also, it has the preamp jumpers, …

Here's my review of the 1868F that I'm using. There's a lot of other useful info in that thread as well, if you haven't checked it already. It should also be noted that ESS cards have a native ESFM mode , which can sound pretty interesting in supported games. Yes! Your thread has been an invaluable …

You guys are awesome, thanks; it looks like I've made up my mind. I'll probably end up getting an ESS 1868, driving an externally mounted Waveblaster card. I really like that idea, plus I would end up with independent PCM and MIDI volumes from the ESS. I reckon I could even run with that notion to …

So, apparently the clicks and pops caused by high DMA are not the same as the ones originating from single cycle DMA, although the two problems compound each other. This was an interesting read, although the problem seems to be quite permanent: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=50071&hilit …

This is not exactly an answer to your question, but something else to consider: I've recently built a similar system and included a CT2230 and the biggest problem I have encountered with it is not the hanging note bug (actually I specifically chose the CT2230 because I thought it didn't have that …

Hello, I am finalizing a P3 retro PC for DOS and Win98 gaming; I am looking to roughly cover the time period between 1988 and late 90s. I am going for a dual ISA sound card setup, with the main one being a Sound Blaster 16 CT2230. the reason I chose it is because of the low noise output and for the …
