I recently built a U5S-SUPER33 system to play 1990-1992 games with, and just dropped in a Sound Blaster 16 CT2290 because I wanted to use a DreamBlaster S2 with it.
Reality check results:
1. SB16 in 1990-1992 games is almost nonexistent, so I was actually probably better served with a card with SB Pro compatibility
2. GM support in 1990-1992 games is almost nonexistent and although DreamBlaster S2 can emulate an MT-32 to some extent, I would be better served with using a MUNT-Pi through the Gameport.
So I'm thinking about replacing the CT2290 with something. I'm torn on what to pick. My options are below:
Avance Logic ALS007 OPL3
Avance Logic ALS100Plus+ ALSFM
C-Media CMI8830/A C-Media FM
Crystal CS4232/CS4289 CrystalFM
Crystal CX4236B CrystalFM
ESS ES688FC OPL3
ESS ES1868F ESFM
ESS ES1898F ESFM
OPTi/ADI 82C929/AD1846 OPL3
OPTi/ADI 82C931 OPTiFM
Yamaha YMF-719B-S OPL3
Yamaha YMF-719E-S OPL3
Opinions?
