Re: Jurassic-Park (OCEAN) no Sound Effects on AWE32 or compatible

Finally found a fix to this. As the game needs EMS(expanded memory) which is not that common, i though it must be related to EMM386. I replaced emm386 with Jemm386 (Jemmex also works) and the game now plays all digital SFX with soundblaster selected. First game I have come across since using Dos in …

I've found out the bug affects PIO mode 4 and MWDMA-2. It's safe to use PIO modes 0-3.

Bump with exactly the same problem and no solution after searching. The game runs fine with music but no SFX with sound blaster selected. You start the game with a tazer gun and it should make a digital sfx when firing. The setup install.exe lets you select music and SFX separately, the only …

I noticed when I run Speedsys in dos or any PCI ID information utility in Win95 on my new built Asus P54TP4 motherboard I get the following warning message: "82338/82371FB PIIX PCI EIDE Controller (Faulty BusMastering!!)" This is the first time I've used a 430fx chipset but I can't find anything …

After weeks of fighting with various configurations and just not being totally happy with anything I think I've finally landed on what is, for me, just about perfect, and just thought id share! I'm running 2 sound cards plus a Roland SC-88vl. Not the simplest setup lol, but this is how it's cobbled …

Installed sbw9xup.exe dated [4 November 1998] SDR-95UPD-1-US (Revision 16) These appear to be the latest from creative but are older than the drivers in Win98. It fixes a full duplex issue recording and playing music. I tried it recording from line in when playing sound on a game and it is working …

I started using a SB16 (CT2800 ISA model) in Win98se and it seems to be working. Are the built in Win98 drivers the best drivers to use, or is it better practice to install the latest drivers from Creative's website.

I can't find any search results on vogons about umbpci specifically causing games not to run, only posts saying it works. After running around 10 different games I've come across a game that doesn't work with umbpci .sys loaded. 'Cadaver - the payoff'. With umbpci loaded the game goes to the …

The previous 'Batman the caped crusader' from 1989 says on the box it supported at least tandy sound (3 pc speaker). Batman the movie is definitely only pc speaker, Ocean cheaped out. I completed it around 1992 in cga mode. One thing that bugged me with the game, the joystick calibration routine is …

Any disk cache software in DOS tends to cause more problems than they are worth when dos crashes. With ultra fast cf/sd/ssd hard drives I skip smartdrv because it can cause data loss/corruption and just wastes conventional or upper memory. I never had issues with disk cache software in DOS, BUFFERS …

AKA DOS mode, or how ever it's called. No advanced features that would result in better speed if OS had drivers to talk "native" language. Maybe it's combination of SSD and the card. So far I didn't manage to get more than 10 MB/s without drivers. If I install XP and then drivers it goes over 100 …

So I should be installing DOS 7.1 and not 6.22? This also explains why my Windows Workgroups 3.11 can't see the 32GB disk? Yes, Dos7.1 adds support for fat32, int13 extensions and partitions and disk sizes up to 2TB. The limit is dependent on the motherboard bios. If the bios supports 48bit lba , …

Is this just a drawback of any card that use a genuine OPL3 v creative CQM chips (which appear not to be speed sensitive). I have only used my Vibra (with real OPL3) on a Pentium MMX 166 and it had no speed issues there. However, I did test a (PCI) Yamaha YMF744 on an AthlonXP 1700+ system at full …
