I'd give up on this as the Pi3 doesn't have enough juice to give the cycles Daggerfall wants (which would be something like 60000-230000 AT LEAST). and considering there is no dynarec on the Dosbox for Pi.... I have not tried daggerfall so im not sure of how well it will hold up but if you compile …

If you have the LM386's handy still theres a good article here on getting the best out of them https://hackaday.com/2016/12/07/you-can-have-my-lm386s-when-you-pry-them-from-my-cold-dead-hands/ I am working on a raspberry pi audio project of similar scale and was recently checking out what i could …

no bassmidi but you can happily install fluidsynth on a Pi though and run it as a server, its in the default repositories and so is as easy as "sudo apt-get install fluidsynth" at the command line also with the new audio driver the default analog audio out of the pi is muuuuuuch better than it used …

Hopefully I’m wrong but I don’t think you can use the OPL4 chipset to override a sound cards crappy FM implementation via the wave table header, for games anyway, because they expect FM to be @220. I believe that is correct, if the opl4 chip was directly on the sound card like some of the opl4 …

Yamaha YM724 cards like the waveforce 192xg are pre year 2000 and do directsound 3d, eax and have nice OPL3 and midi support. might be worth checking out

in addition to the Dos TSR a dosbox patch that would pass the data through would mean the ability to get non emulated adlib on very new machines. If I'm not mistaken, very new machines don't seem to have parallel ports anymore. I guess "very" is a relative term :p Certainly there is a crossover of …

i believe you are correct they are just packaging dosbox. the trick on a pi is to edit the .conf file and change usescancodes to false. it should fix the keyboard in dosbox if you are not running it from X from memory it should be in /home/pi/.dosbox

IDE to SATA adapters are things I have not tried, but it really depends on the throughput of the adapter. It will still be limited to that 133mbps (around 16 megabytes per second) speed, even with a good drive. You are a touch off on this one :) The number in a UDMA mode refers to Megabytes per …

As much as a Yamaha branded Yamaha card is appealing to me the i would say the extra features of the 744 chip are probably worth it.
