I've tested these with the X2GS. I lack the Dream SDK so I have no idea what the quality is of the translation, I can only go by ear. The X16 has 1 Gb total, divided in slots. Not sure if it can handle the Crisis soundfont. And I think this is a complex soundfont that needs the SDK.

I received the Serdaco newsletter and read there is now a tool called DreamBankCompilerSE that allows Awave Studio users to create banks for the DreamBlasters. As I happen to own Awave Studio I wanted to share some quick conversions: 1) 4MB GMGSMT, the Creative/EMU 4 MB sound font with fixes by …

I think this card suffers from bad caps, but I've never seen a mixer reporting 1 channel only. Check this thread on info about the caps: Audio problem with Ensoniq S-2000

@Hummtaro: are you using the new Awave -> Dream SDK conversion method? Do you have to manually tweak a lot of things?

In the sound folder there are music files for different devices going by the extentions (mid, gvs, awe, lap, sbl). Replacing deadp.mid with deadp.gvs (Gravis, GF1 patchset has 1 drumkit) results in a different instrument selection for the level The Deadpool but the weird drumkit is still selected. …

Mortal Kombat II - Wrong drums with Yamaha DB50XG

I've noticed with Mortal Kombat II that when I use the DreamBlaster X2GS I get the power kit instead of the standard kit in-game. Using the DB50XG it defaults to the standard kit, even after a GS reset (GM mode doesn't do GS drum kits?). The power kit seems correct, going by the Sega Saturn music …

X2GS has a LED, that's why I asked. Did you try toggling the joystick option in the BIOS?

Does the S2 have a power or activity LED btw? Any sign that it is getting power?

The ECS board I had did have a MPU port setting in the BIOS and a joystick port. I think it should work, at least when I installed Creative drivers for the MediaGX it passed all the tests. My Advantech doesn't have a joystick port and I think the MPU setting isn't available in the BIOS as well.

I've noticed that the Rio 2.0 has indeed noise in the signal and capacitors that whine as …

Thank you! So it's around half of the X16 (rated at 400 mA with 2x the DSP cores).

I unchecked it and now the MIDI file plays (Y4002_01.MID), so it seems to be the case. Thanks for this excellent piece of software btw!

Are those Insertion FX compatible with those on the SC-88 Pro? As in a MIDI file that uses Insertion FX targeted at a SC-88 Pro will work on the X16GS?
