Re: Analog Devices ECHO based soundcard, any info on this?

AD Echo based cards have low quality MIDI engine. There are plenty of them by different manufacturers. Probably the most well-known among them is Orchid SoundWave 32.

Define 'correct'. If you mean 'are all the 630 MobyGames records correctly depict PAS support', then I don't know. What I do know though, is that Audio Interfrace Library and its heir Miles Sound System both support 8-bit PAS, and while AIL appeared circa 1991, the DOS version of MSS was maintaned …

Re: EMU Proteus/1 support for Sierra games?
Posted on 2020-04-01, 12:31
I don't think you can force Proteus/1 to be GM compatible simply by altering its patch map. It has an ability to renumber its patches, but this doesn't apply to drum sets. And while Proteus/1 has several drum sets, none of them are GM compatible. Windows 3.1 drivers solve this problem by …

Re: Is there a MIDI to HMI converter program ?
Posted on 2020-03-03, 15:22
Another option to try is selecting a MIDI output that technically works (so that SOS engine won't return an error or crash), but produces no sound. Like a MPU-401 interface with no MIDI module connected to it. If everything else fails, here's HMI loader of foo_midi plugin: https://g.losno.co/chris/ …

you need to have "DEVDRV.INI" in the folder where the midi files reside no matter what or if anything is in the .ini PX will then look for the GTL in this directory else it falls back to c:\ (as i noticed).[/b] It's DEFDRV.INI, not DEVRV.INI.
