Re: Roland Sound Canvas Prices

Posted on 2021-06-25, 22:24

Are you searching the US eBay? I'm looking at sold listings, and I'm seeing a few that sold for $130-150 after shipping within the last 30 days. Just setup a watch and get a deal, within the last year I got a SC-50 for $100, and a MU-500 for $136. The only one I feel I slurged on was a SC-D70 for $ …

Re: Would you be interested in an x86-based alternative to the Raspberry Pi, optimized for retro gaming?

Posted on 2021-06-19, 13:36

Wouldn't an FPGA-based solution be a better way to go? Basically take the MiSTer port of the ao486 core and enhance it to add the features on your list that it still lacks? I know that in order to run at the performance of a Pentium or better, and to provide 3D hardware acceleration, more powerful …

Re: VST Midi Driver Midi Mapper

Posted on 2021-05-28, 11:51

I am just listening to the S-YXG50 plugin through Midi Player and have to wonder how great it would be to have this as a default Windows 10 MIDI device again... just like in old times. Before the VST MIDI Driver broke and nobody was around to fix it. I dunno if it's just a matter of updating the …

in DOS
At least some Quake shareware CDs contained an encrypted copy of the game you could purchase an unlock for. They also contained other iD games as well. Those might be rarer as they were cracked pretty quickly.

Re: MT32-Pi and Sound Blaster setup?

Posted on 2021-05-18, 15:36

Some old game may need SoftMPU, anything listed with "Intelligent Mode" would need SoftMPU. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_MT-32-compatible_computer_games#Table_of_compatible_games Games would not load a soundfont on an MT32-Pi. You can use MIDI SysEx commands to switch sound fonts, or to …

Re: WP32 McCake : MT32 compatible waveblaster board

Sure, I understand that, and as I said: this project is great as it is. I'm just imagining this one step further: instead of hooking up the Raspberry Pi to a wavetable header of an ISA soundcard and make it the MIDI synthesizer, why not go further and hook up the Raspberry directly to the ISA bus? …

Re: WP32 McCake : MT32 compatible waveblaster board

This project amuses me to no end, it's fantastic. :D But since we're already putting an SoC into the host machine that would equate to a SciFi supercomputer in the 90s, why don't we go one step further and connect the Raspi directly to the ISA bus, either with an adapter board for GPIO or via USB? …
