Re: Thexder EGA vs TANDY/PCjr mode

Posted on 2010-12-15, 19:31

Yeah I've tried RGB2x and RGB3x and neither look the same (though, I can't try 3x because I don't have an older, smaller monitor hooked up that can do at least 1024x768 yet--the 15 inch that is hooked up only really does up to 640x480--it is _really_ old). You really need RGB3x to get close I …

Okay, here are some pictures. I must admit though, my camera took the pictures and got the colors drastically wrong--so, in the .arj file (yes, .arj for all you nostalgic ones he he, I even compressed it using the authentic arj 2.41 commandline that I have in my windows path--don't worry, winrar and …

I'll have to try and take a few pictures and post them tomorrow I hope. Maybe I'll take a few zoomed in too so you can see the difference up close (though it is more profound when you're a foot or two away as you traditionally would be when playing). The fact you can still see the rgb elements a …

Sorry to dig up an older topic but I had to add my two cents... :) I had a Tandy 1000 TX back in the day with a CM-5 RGB monitor. For those who have never gamed on an authentic RGB monitor with a Tandy--you're missing quite a lot. The difference is as noticeable as gaming in CGA on a EGA/VGA tube …

Re: Testing midi-out (to the PC) with MT-32

Posted on 2010-01-24, 00:40

Nevermind, I figured it out! :) I had to figure out what my MT-32's unit number it was set to. Apparently, in Cakewalk and other apps I was trying to download from Unit #1, whereas my MT-32 was set to a completely different Unit Number--number 17 to be exact. How did I figure this out? Well, when I …

Re: Star Trek Judgement Rites CD version with MT-32

Posted on 2010-01-23, 19:16

in DOS
Thanks for the directory list. To me, it looks like you have a cd of all the dos version of various countries and not the full speech/video version? It appeared to me to not take up nearly the amount of space that my version does. The CD alone is 500+ megs of data and every single line of text in it …

Testing midi-out (to the PC) with MT-32

Posted on 2010-01-23, 19:15

Does anyone know how to do this? What I'm trying to do is run my mt-32 through things such as cakewalk and dump the sysex banks to cakewalk. I know you can do this--as I'm interested in experimenting with creating my own instruments. The problem is, I don't know how, as I believe you have to …

Re: Star Trek Judgement Rites CD version with MT-32

Oh it definitely is installed properly. I am using Dosbox as well. The installer for sure is different from the original--this installer is high resolution and even the sound selection screen is high resolution with pretty super vga (well, 640x480) artwork. My fears are as worse as worse can be-- …

Re: Star Trek Judgement Rites CD version with MT-32

in DOS
It is definitely configured for MT-32 and I have the right port picked. The game refuses to upload instruments so I am stuck with defaults which sound horrible. My CD-ROM was printed in 1998 by Interplay, it is not the first CD-ROM version which came out in 1995. It has a graphical SVGA installation …

Re: Fraps and Dosbox

Posted on 2009-12-08, 06:40

Okay, digging up this thread. I want to share with the world the beauty of MT-32 music in some old games. I can get the ctrl+alt+f5 to record the video... but NOT the MT-32 audio that I'm hearing. How do I set up dosbox to do video and the audio from the mt-32? Note: I am using a real MT-32 and it …

Re: MT-32 vs Adlib/Soundblaster

Posted on 2009-12-04, 21:55

Thread resurrection alert! So I was looking through here and saw people comparing games with their adlib support versus their MT-32 support and which is better. I'd like to add my own cents to this old discussion. :) Zeliard - great Action RPG, I beat it back in the day as a kid and actually booted …

Star Trek Judgement Rites CD version with MT-32

Posted on 2009-11-30, 05:37

in DOS
Okay, I'm having a strange problem. I have a real MT-32 I also have the Floppy version of Star Trek Judgement Rites (25th anniversary sequel) and just picked up a copy of the CD-ROM version which has speech. The speech is great. The MT-32 support in the CD-ROM version is not! Or, so far that I have …

So I finally got an mt-32...

Posted on 2009-11-30, 01:47

It only took me 22 years. ;) Adlib and SB Music no more! (though, to be fair, in some games the fm synth does sound better). If I had heard an MT-32 in the 80's, it would have been bad because, well, I still wouldn't of been able to get one so it was all for the best. Anyways, my question is this: I …
