Hello, all.

Is a definitive list of games supporting stereo YM3812 via the original Sound Blaster Pro (CT-1330) available? I recently popped this card into my favorite 486 and would like to enjoy it to the max.

Thanks in advance.

Good luck finding a definitive list. In the meantime, here are some relevant pages:

ripsaw8080 beat me to it.

I must have used Cloudschatze's Quest Studios post because I list the same games as he did. I did touch up the language on the list. I had no idea there was some kind of Wayback Machine archive of the Quest Studios' forum. So much was lost when that forum went down, so I'm pleased to see it hasn't all disappeared.

I think following Ancient DOS Games episode on the Sound Blasters i indicated some games that weren't listed, on the episode discussion here at the show's thread. Looking at your blog you did include some of them, like Formula One Grand Prix or F-15 Strike Eagle III. Fleet Defender is still missing, it supports Sound Blaster Pro (old) and (new), including as well the dual OPL2 Pro Audio Spectrum.

I would advise to take a look into into Microprose games of that era.

EDIT: I also have been wondering about Ultima Underworld, since it uses .ADV Miles drivers, if both Ultima Underworld games could be made to support the Pro Audio Spectrum drivers as well.

Thanks, guys. I had the list from Great Hierophant's very helpful, very informative blog. But it's nice to have a few more to add to the list, courtesy the Quest Studios thread.
