I've somewhat ''patched'' the Jazz Jackrabbit problem. This card can play every game with a good configuration. It is a bit tricky. I think it would be wise to make a patched game archive. So how do i upload my modified driver to the vogons driver bank?

Good, so your other topic about Decompiling is no longer necessary? Yes please share this in vogonsdrivers or similar.

P.S. The game is Jazz Jackrabbit, not "Jazz Rabbit".

It could still be. It would be much easier to have a programe that dont need to detect you gus before patching the game ... to patch JAZZ JACKRABBIT i had to patch the eeprom of my CUS32PRO to GUSPNP ...use the software the right way (yes ... facepalm) and reflash the card to compaq rom. I dont think the card will like that often. So i can modify the software it would be great ... and if someone want to help me, it would be better!

Thx 😀 Corrected.

I just bought my first GUS and it happens to be also a Compaq Ultrasound 32.

Since I'm a new owner of a GUS, and I know that these cards can be tricky to set up, I've just briefly played around with the card.

I used the Compaq Ultrasound installation disk from Vogons drivers and installed it under Windows 95.
The disk seems to only contain the bare minimum (the mixer apps appears to be missing, despite the "readme" file stating that the files should be included).
Was there ever a full installation CD or set of disks released with this particular card?

Installation wasn't too painful and the Windows drivers installed successfully (I did have to point it to the installation files to install the drivers).
Aplications under DOS that directly support the GUS (like demos) seems to run fine.

I've started to struggle a bit in getting some games to run, using MEGAEM
Sound Blaster support appear to work fine (provided I run .bat files provided upon startup).

Should I rather use the GUS PNP driver installation disks/CD instead?

Looking forward to your driver package.

Jesolo, i used the compaq driver as a base. The mixer existe but only in windows 9x (usefull btw) but i think you could use the one that come with the gus pnp. The iw.ini should be moded a bit and it depend if you want to use it alongside another card (as the sound blaster emulation and the megaem isnt so great) my IW.ini file is modified a these place.

[setup 0]
SynthBase=240
CodecBase=34c
CDBase=0
ATAPIBase=0
MpuBase=0
AdlibBase=0
GamePort=0
IRQ1=7
IRQ2=0
CDIRQ=0
MPUIRQ=0
SBIRQ=0
DMA1=6
DMA2=7

I suggest you make a backup of your ini file. What is important is the SynthBase, CodeBase, IRQ1, DMA1 and DMA2. And a little bit above there is a place where you can chance pnp for legacy. This way you're configuration will stay.

In my Autoexec.bat ...

@REM ===== Gravis initialization (1.3) =====
@SET INTERWAVE=C:\IW\IW.INI
@SET IWDIR=C:\IW
@C:\IW\APPS\IWINIT.EXE
@C:\IW\APPS\GETIWENV.EXE > C:\IW\APPS\SETIWENV.BAT
@C:\IW\APPS\TEA6330.EXE
@CALL C:\IW\APPS\SETIWENV.BAT
@SET ULTRADIR=C:\IW
@REM ===== Gravis initialization ends =====

After that you should be able to use game that is compatible with gus. I you still want to use the SB emulation and megaem you will have to customize my setting. But i thing it should give you a good head start. IF you add simm to your card, there is a jumper next to the 512k of ram ... use it to disable the 512k ... or it will sound like garbage. For the rest of the file i've used i some from the gus pnp cd. PM and i will send you what i've done if you're interested in testing it.

Thank you.
Let me play around a bit and see how it goes.
I found another set of files from this location: http://www.geocities.ws/presariohelp2000/comp … vers_oct00.html
Just search for "Interwave" on the webpage.

These files appears to be the files that are copied over after installation, but might help as it also contains a DOS mixer util, but I haven't tried it yet.
