I have an idea for an upcoming version of ORPHINIT that makes creative use of some features of the CS4237 to give you what you want: a clean, purely-digital bitstream for OPL3 and PCM audio with no SRS or analogue noise. I can't tell you when that release will be ready, but be sure to watch this …

Hi, i recently got this card (Acer Magic S30) and i can't get it work properly. The synth part FM (220h) or daughterboard (330h) work as intended. The audio part is always failing with DMA part. IRQ is instable too, sometimes it's IRQ 5 or 7. Diagnose.exe from my SB16 always fail at the DMA …

Hi, Just received my TexElec SAAYM and did some testing with YM2151 tunes in my old 386. It's working great ! Is there anyway, maybe in future, to combine the SAAYM with a simple SoundBlaster in order to play both YM2151 and PCM parts (many YM2151 tunes uses SegaPCM/OKIM6295 for the PCM parts) ? …

Update: Flashed the card with Dell Flash tool C4502_C1.EXE didn't solved the issue. The card can't see anything above 512KB :( I've found an old CT3670 in my attic: no matter wich SIMM modules i put on it, DIAGNOSE always report 524 288 bytes max (i've tried every combination with 1mb, 2mb, 4mb and …

I've some troubles with the Flashback's rip . SBVGM version 1.14 MSDOS 6.22 386DX40 with real AdLib (original not clone) card (port 388). Logo and Introduction tunes are randomly out of tune/wrong speed/missing instruments. I've the game installed on the same machine to compare. Sometime the tune …
