Also, should I be seeing the FM synth as a selectable midi device in Windows 98? The actual synth works fine in DOS games but I'm just curious as to why I only see DS-XG and the MPU401 as midi devices in the Control Panel... You can enable the FM Synth with YMF7x4Utilities, but then you will not be …

Found another EAX wrapper, but I haven't tried it because you have to compile the program. A DirectSound wrapper for OpenAL

Thanks for the reply. My Mac mini does have the ability to lock on to the SPDIF signal, but I don't know if it is bit-perfect and also I can only select 16, 20, and 24 bit for recording bit depth, so I will record at 20 bit / 44.1 kHz.

I read in this article AWE64 can do S/PDIF out! Creative said it's impossible! Read and jump in joy! that the SPDIF output on the AWE32/SB32/AWE64 is 18-bit. Am I correct that in order to get that HQ output you have to use a 24-bit software player with 24-bit sound card drivers? I am recording MIDI …

I hate to ask in this thread but can anyone provide the patches used in these software drivers as ".sb" files to use with ALSA's OPL3 driver? I have a working CMI OPL3 in hardware and the default sb and o3 that ships with ALSA is extremely ugly and was clearly made by someone who doesn't know about …

The mouse cursor stays stuck inside dosbox. After you close dosbox you cannot move the mouse cursor in Windows until you reboot. I used a PII 233 in Windows 98 SE to test.

I have 2 computers connected through with MIDI couplers. That is how I was able to record MIDI from Duke3d, Doom, Doom2, etc. Playback computer is Win98 SE with a Yamaha YMF-724 using its MIDI gameport and recording computer is Win10 with USB Roland UM-One with Midi-OX.

Windows 98 command.com cannot utilize the soundfont synth. It will use the Ensoniq based synth with only 3 official .ecw files. If you want to use soundfonts with Warcraft in Windows 98 you will have to use Dosbox.

I ended up using an Arduino pro micro as a keyboard emu with a build of MAME that writes VGM, because of the random sound card error while loading a level in Dosbox. Here is a sketch I created. #include const int SendKeyDownDelay = 200; // key is held down for 200 ms const int SendKeyDelay = 10; // …

I still need to tweak the script because at some point in the logging process either the sound card error re-occurred or key presses weren't recorded, because not all songs were recorded.

Switching Duke3d to Dos32a instead of Dos4/GW seems to have gotten rid of the random "Couldn't find selected sound card" error. I will try this script tomorrow and report back if it worked. AutoIT script #include ; SendKeyDelay and SendKeyDownDelay ; https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/ …
