Hello everyone,
I'm a happy owner of a STB Ultrasound 32 Pro (Compaq Interwave sound card) and thanks to the work of our friend cyclone3d I have it working perfectly as a GUS PNP clone.
I have it installed on a Slot 1 440BX platform with a Pentium II 450Mhz, 128MB of RAM, Windows 98 and I manage to make it run side by side with a SB16 CT2772 with no conflicts.
I ran the original GUS PNP CD install to have the 1MB and 4MB patches and I also installed Pro patches lite 1.61
I love the way the MIDI sounds with PPL 1.61 on DOS games that natively supports Ultrasound, it really is a game changer compared to the default 1MB sound bank.
What I want now is to use it on games that doesn't natively support Ultrasound but supports General MIDI and MT32, I was able to make it work using MegaEM 3.11, but megaEM only supports the onboard 1MB ROM bank.
I have been researching all over Vogons and the internet about Ultramid, since allegedly it can also provide GM to the GUS PNP but using patches instead of the onboard ROM, but I can't make it work and there is no user guide anywhere.
When I ran Ultramid it doesn't give me any error, but also doesn't work.
Can someone please give me step by step instructions on to make it work? How do I assign a GM port (300,330, etc) with Ultramid?
Thanks in advance.
