Hello there!
I'm pretty sure other threads about these specific sound devices already exist, but i wanna focus on these sound devices as far as knowing which games supported them and to document how we can get them to work.
I'm not gonna give the details and backstory into these devices, it's been documented all aound.
Anyway, the point is game support for these devices, specially for the FB-01 since it is so much easier and certainly cheaper to acquire than an IMFC.
The following pic, courtesy of Cloudschatze are very good to determine Sierra games support for sound devices, including the FB-01 and the IMFC:
Now for those owning a FB-01 (like me) there is still need for MPU-401. Using SoftMPU is therefore essential for those who don't own a real MPU-401 hardware interface. There was a problem with some Sierra games giving a dump/error message on the FB-01, so better support through SoftMPU and sierra FB-01 driver investigation has followed and came to culmination here:
*START HERE* SoftMPU 1.91 - Software Intelligent MPU-401 Emulator
Ripsaw8080 managed to do his magic on the Sierra drivers and figured out the problem on the FB01 Sierra drivers, that were causing dump errors on the FB-01 sound module.
So for starters i would like to use this thread to document game testing, not only for Sierra games but others as well that might support the FB-01 and IMFC.
