Those Yamaha sound cards don't cease to amaze me. Too bad PCI slots are going the way of the ISA (and Dodo) on modern hardware. I wonder is DSDMA would work through a PCIe/PCI bridge. Might just get one of those adapters from ebay to give it a try. Keep us updated if you do and if anyone has …

^^ Are you using DSDMA? I think I tried this on an Nforce 3 board a while ago, but no sound. I didn't try many games though. Yes. If it doesn't work at first then try to change FIRSTTRY= to 1 in DS.INI and rerun LOADTSR.BAT so that it reconfigure your INTAIRQ= (think this is the PCI IRQ of the card …

Some results with Intel GMA 900 and SiS 630 posted in the 3DMark01 Mega Thread. Increased score to 524 3Dmarks, 39% faster than the first run at 377 3DMarks. :cool: Removed one stick of RAM, now only running 256MB. (This is the reason for most of the increase.) Made a few other BIOS tweaks. Changed …

YAMAHA YMF7xx The one I had was a YMF744. It has a genuine OPL3 FM chip on board. However, it doesn't seem to have a known chipset-independent workaround, and the settings were locked to "Port=220, IRQ=INTA#(5), DMA=1 using DDMA at 8000" for most motherboards. It was said such settings can be …

Found out how to use 1GB of RAM and more with the YMF. I used JEMMEX with the "MAXEXT=" switch to reduce available extended memory and "NOVME" or games using DOS extenders wouldn't run. So I decided to test out the YMF744 on my main rig with the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R motherboard (Intel X58 chipset), …

Keep the ES1371 and CT4700. Looks like the CT4700 uses the Creative 5507 chip that are the same as Ensoniq 1370, which means it's native sampling frequency is 44,1KHz.

Tried another P965 board with succsess, the Asus P5B. Also reserved IRQ5 in the BIOS. First I installed the YMF744 in PCI slot 3. With 4GB of RAM SETUPDS refused to load complaning about too little free memory. Then I reduced the RAM to 1GB and SETUPDS loaded, but DSDMA didn't load. Loading DSDMA …

Excellent! Many will find this useful. When you say YMF744 card, what card is it exactly? It's an Xwave Typhoon "sandwich" card. Does the BIOS allowing you to reserve IRQ 5? Mine doesn't maybe that's why DSDMA causes my computer to reboot. Yes, I reserved IRQ 5 in the BIOS. If I don't, DSDMA …
