Re: Making a new soundfont for the AWE 64

Posted on 2022-01-12, 20:39

Just wanted to give some feedback: For around 28MB it is in many ways a higher fidelity soundfont than my benchmark for this size, Masterpiece. In many ways it sounds incredibly similar to Musyng Kite, and that is a 1GB SF2 - so congratulations. However, I need to report something that I think is a …

So now I am nearing the 100 hour mark (and probably 2/3 of the game) with Pathfinder: Kingmaker and I have to say it has gone from being a mediocre experience to moderately enjoyable. My main gripes with the game are still boring companions and a boring kitchen sink setting but the game mechanically …

Re: ForteMedia FM801 FM Synthesis

My FM801 is currently in my Socket A system, I'm pretty sure I can boot some kind of Linux and let you know - but not until the weekend. My CFG801.EXE does not enable Line In as far as I can remember. I will check the version and let you know about that as well.

The one and only issue I have with this card in DOS is that it does not seem to have a mixer and the Line In is muted by default, so using it with an external Synth and mixing that to the audio out is impossible to do on the card itself. If anyone knows how to change mixer settings for FM801 in DOS …

Finished the Terminiator: Resistance 'Annihilation Line' DLC. Shorter than the main campaign, but imo it packs more punch. Some serious Hollywood studio backlot moments. Anyway, if anyone is interested I have kept a bug and optimization log over at GOG's forums with some videos attached. Messaged …

OK I checked out my 386SX. It has this card installed, jumpered as shown in photo: https://i.postimg.cc/dtL0LCfT/Edison-Gold-16-D.jpg Here is the system configuration for DOS: https://i.postimg.cc/G80BHsh3/ES688-AUTOEXEC.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/JDbsJ4GN/ES688-CONFIG.jpg Here is the ESSCFG output: …

Re: ESS Solo-1 DOS IRQ Problem

Posted on 2021-12-28, 14:54

I have had no issues with the ESS Solo-1, at least on P2/3 boards. And it features GM wavetable in Dos as wel, l if I remember correctly. FM801 sure also is a good choice but they are not so easy to find I guess. Yeah, the issues with Solo-1 seem to get out of hand with ICH and later southbridges …

Hey Joseph_Joestar, Did you play Sands of Time with a controller or M/KB? I only ask because I've tried playing this game multiple times on different systems over the years and have always found the mouse handling in this game to be terrible no matter what mouse I used. It's like the game doesn't …
