Perhaps I have time this weekend. To be honest I haven't tried this conversion yet myself.

If you still have the XMI file you can use this: PX Player: play MID and XMI files under DOS You'll need a DOS enviroment though, be it hardware, virtual or DOSbox. The Adlib option should provide you the sound you're after.

Space Hulk supports Adlib. Comment out any SET BLASTER / Sound Blaster related configuration. It will probably just poll the Adlib port and give you music and no SFX. Otherwise try to misconfigure the DMA channel temporarily. It should point to a DMA not in use though.

It might work with Analog Devices drivers for the AD18.... chip it has on there, I think it does Sound Blaster Pro/Windows Sound System and crappy OPL3. Looks like you need a break-out cable though and info on the DSP and the DIP-switches. Videoquip Research seems to be still around, so you might …

Edit: Here is a version based on GM.DLS, for the earlier one I used GS.DLS that comes with QuickTime. I used the first 127 instruments and the standard drum kit, the rest has been omitted. Based on the original ULTRAMID.INI. You need to add BLANK.PAT from the original set. I don't have that project …

Maybe your CF card is wearing out. I have one industrial card that I destroyed when using a CF->SATA adapter on a SIL controller. This card is now permanently slow, no matter how I format it.

Were these cards hooked up to the same screen? I've seen some sparks come of VGA cables connected to projectors and such. Make sure your screen is grounded and doesn't leak any voltage through the cable.

Atlantis: The Lost Tales is know for disk access woes. Also the symptoms when running Virtua Cop makes me think it's an disk access problem somehow. Are there any DMA settings in 95 you can check?

You might be able to squeeze more performance out of your S3 card with this: S3VBEFIX - PC\MS-DOS TSR fix for S3 VESA 2.0 video BIOS

There are some members here that own the Compaq card which has an Interwave AKC. Hopefully they can help out.

Getting the revision data is not enough in this case right? Because Impulse Tracker displays the revision data. From the Impulse Tracker source: IWID DB "AMD Interwave, Revision " RevisionLetter DB " ", 13 DB "Port ", 0FDh, "Xh, ", 0FDh, "Dk Memory", 0 IWID2 DB "AMD Interwave, Revision " …

That config file belongs to another game, my bad. I landed on that page through a search engine, assuming it was the correct title. When I check the manual I see this: "Some sound cards may be advertised as being 100% Sound Blastercompatible but still may not work with The Last Express. This is …
Re: What's the status of "TweakBios" from 1999?
Posted on 2021-02-17, 07:57
There are no signs or labels anywhere? If you have a dump of the BIOS you can use a hexeditor to look for strings. Different BIOSes use different tools I'm afraid. I only have a bit of experience with Award BIOSes where some features are disabled by the OEM.

According to Moby Games it supports Sound Blaster 16 and Sound Blaster Pro but I see lots of mentions of audio trouble with people running the GOG version. Review pages mention "Sound Blaster 16 or 100% 16-bit compatible. On DOSBox.com I saw a snippet of the config file: [DIGITAL] DeviceName = Sound …

ModBin could be an alternative for Award BIOS systems. This can enable options in the BIOS where as TweakBIOS writes to chipset registers.

An update for those who might stumble upon this thread with similar problems: I switched disks and it fixed some of the problems for a short time. But the crackling came back upon restart a day later. I've now switched PSU's and the crackling in Tyrian 2000 is completely gone. ROTT sound effects …

Used a new disk in my setup and the symptoms changed. The GUS now sounds ok but the system hangs. My CF cards seem to be all damaged.
