Hello,
I'm looking for some advice on the Adlipt 0.6.0 TSR. I'm having trouble getting it to work. I've got the opl2lpt unit installed on lpt1 set to 378 on dos 6.22 on my 386, also running the version of emm386 that came with dos 6.22. Opl2test works and plays the tune. I also used adpatch to patch doom and it works fine.
But trying an unpatched game, like Tyrian or a second install of doom(unpatched), nothing. Because the patched version and test program work, i guess the parallel port is fine etc.
I've tried adlipt with and without the nopatch parameter, also tried version 0.3.0, still nothing.
Not sure where to go from here.
Thank you.

hi,
doom runs in protected mode, and will only work when patched.
The TSR does not work with protected mode games, so doom will never work unpatched.
I'm not sure about Tyrian, it could be this uses protected mode as well.

Where to go from here :
Could you try the TSR in combination with adlib jukebox, to see if it basically works.

If adlib jukebox works with the TSR, then the TSR works on your pc.

If Tyrian is a protected mode game, it is a candidate to be supported by the patcher.
