Knights of Xentar ran best on SB Pro 2 afaik. Or any OPL synth. No music output for fancy MIDI cards 😒

Nice site, thanks! I know about the midi-out to midi-in way, I read it here ten years ago. I did not know of the winamp convert the tunes; I will have to try it 😀
Extracting MIDI from an old game
Posted on 2016-03-18, 11:45
Hi guys, long time no see :cool: I know there was talk about this somewhere around here, but as I was not really around for a while, I forgot where things are. What I'd like to do is to extract and remaster the midi files from an old game, Knights of Xentar. Does any one have an idea how to do this? …
Re: P2/P3 VS K6-3+ - A Great Battle Commences
Posted on 2013-10-11, 20:19
I dont want to be a nagging diva here, but I must warn you not to expect wonders. Especially since an intel equivalent to K6 2/3 is actually a P233 MMX and not a P2, let alone P3! Comparing a P3 450Mhz to a K6/3 @ 600Mhz (overclocked like hell) would be like comparing a Ferrari to a Dacia in a drag …

As long as I have DMX 6 fire, I will also continue to stick to 32-bit Windows XP. And thats about it. For everything else, new Ubuntu and Windows 7 do just fine.

Easy enough to fix though. More then a few people on vogons did that already very successfully on their mobos.

Badmofo: I was considering a Geforce 4 ti4200 128MB Maybe a Geforce 2 or 3 is more period specific. If V5 is out of the question, then ti4200 is a good choice. GF 3 even better. But avoid GF2 - its a gamble to find a GF2 with good quality output. Virtually all GF3 are decently made and ti4200/4600/ …

-Using kx drivers means almost no game API support. But by switching the rear jack to front you transform Live's audio quality, and the kx DSP stuff is neato. I personally never really cared much for positional audio in games, but what I did enjoy is the good old pure stereo MP3 output (99% of the …

Here's why: SB Pro 2 will take care of mostly anything too old for AWE64 to handle natively (16-bit) …
Re: VIRGE DX vs Matrox Millenium I
Posted on 2013-05-26, 10:28
Matrox is supposed to have better output, but virge is much more compatible. Depends on what you will use it for, and what games you would play. If you are certain you will not meet any incompatibilities, go for matrox. Otherwise virge 😀
