Okay. I figured this out. The issue was a windows update last year that interferes with the Coolsoft midi mapper program I'm using in Windows 10 to replace the old midi mapper from windows 7 and previous. There is an updated CoolSoft v1.1 that was released last year to address it and now everything …

Hello all, I'm still having trouble with this. The issue *seems* to be that the music plays too fast, regardless of whether or not I use munt. It's the general Midi files that are playing fast (as apparently there is no MT-32) According to this site: http://vgmpf.com/Wiki/index.php/The_Incredible_ …

TIM3 is a Windows CD with CDA tracks. I am unaware of any floppy with MIDI version. Did you mean TIM2 or the Incredible Toon Machine? Hi Collector! It's the Windows CD. I never had any issue with it before. Actually, I think I probably originally used the installer from your website to install it …

Hello there, I'm having some weird issues with TIM3 music in windows, using munt. For some reason, the sounds are all bunched up and on top of each other. It used to work fine, honest. It also did this at one point in the past, and then it just started working again correctly when I restarted it or …

Wow sorry for being slow 7F20, I've been trying to come up with something but think I'm out of ideas... My only theory goes back to some compatibility issue with the card. From what I've read any CF card should support PIO, which should work on the 486. Is the card significantly larger than the HDD …

Have you tried auto-detect in the BIOS? the bios has no options for hdd. if there is something there that can see, it shows it. no auto or setup or anything like that. on your desktop you are using a 44 pin to 40 pin IDE + power adapter to connect to the CF adapter? yes. the molex connector to the …

Does the laptop BIOS see the drive at all? No. And yes. When I turn it on, it sees something , but it says that it's an invalid hard drive. Whether that means it knows it's a hard drive or not I cannot say. It probable that it detects something connected but doesn't know that it's a hard drive, …

I was able to clone my HDD onto my CF card using clonezilla live disk. Unfortunately, my laptop isn't recognizing my CF card. (or maybe the adapter?) My windows 10 pc can see the CF card and the adapter just fine. It's a 2GB CF card (verbatim brand), so I though it would work fine in my 486. Sigh, …

On second thought, can you make a bootable floppy with something like WD lifeguard on it, and then use a $4 PCMCIA to CompactFlash adapter card to do it all from your laptop? I can get that adapter, but the programs I have been looking at to transfer the OS from the HDD to the CF card all require a …

It will NOT write an image to CF card if your card has the removeable bit set; it has to show up as an 'internal' drive - queue the search for SiliconDrive cards and other 'industrial' CFs... I don't understand "removable bit set." I'd like to explore this option, but I can't make sense out of your …

I know they are having trouble with the pixel perfect patch, maybe the openglpp option is tied to that and it will be missing until they reintroduce it.

7F20, if you have an analog CRT PC monitor, can you try driving it a higher resolution than 240p? It's a CGA monitor, so it can't really increase the vertical that high. I have pushed it up to the ~260 line range for some console emulation stuff using modelines, but it can't do 400 vertical. …
