Hi Everyone,
As the title says, I am looking to have the most compatibility for sound options in my retro system.
It is a Compaq 486/66, and use it to play PC games from the early 80's to the mid 90's.
I have recently acquired an Orpheus II soundcard (absolute beast of a sound card), giving me compatibility with:
- Adlib
- Sound Blaster Pro
- Gravis Ultrasound
- Midi MPU-401 (to interface with my Roland MT-32 and SC55-MKII)
- Midi through the internal header (I am not using it)
This does an amazing job at covering the majority of the games I want to play, but for the earlier ones, I was considering options that would allow my system to be compatible with a Covox Speech Thing, Disney Sound Source and/or Tandy.
I've been looking into the CVX-4 and TNDLPT, but I'm not sure if these are the best options. How is the tandy compatility if using the CXV-4 and TEMU?
Any other options? Or are these even a good option?
Also, I tend to choose the best available sound option for each game. Would adding compatibility for these systems improve the number of games I can run with a better sound, or does the majority of games that support these also support Adlib/Soundblaster?
Thanks.
Cheers,
NightShadowPT
