Re: PicoGUS: ISA sound card emulator with Raspberry Pi Pico (Gravis Ultrasound, AdLib, MPU-401, Tandy, CMS)

I also had some from Ali with a totally different pinout... Just curious, is the situation in some countries w/re availability of Pi Picos bad enough that AliExpress Picos would be cheaper? Over here in the Netherlands, I pay about four bucks per Pico from an authorized RPi dealer who has loads of …

Re: Why no Dual-OPL3 soundcards?

Doesn't mean unfixable, but the firmware …

Re: I de-CQMed my AWE32 PnP CT3990...!

I'm currently looking to de-CQM a few cards, just seems like the YMF289's are becoming less available. Sellers now want $30-40 per chip, making this far less appealing to do vs. buying a different SB16 with true OPL. If I had to guess, the big new sound cards coming out that use it increased the …
