Thanks for the thoughts guys. I didn't think there were much, if any.

Wasn't quite sure where to post this one.. but can any of you think of any games that untilized both 3dfx exclusive (glide only) AND had a *native* MT32 sound option? (ie. not just a GM remap). I can't seem to think of any.

thanks for the link and the performance report. I'll take a look at it, but I think I'll probably end up trying to get the original hardware working on my older system.

Hey all, I've been working on building a do-it-all retro gaming PC and it's proved to be more difficult than I thought. I think I finally have my sound issues worked out, my next challenge is 3Dfx/glide games. I am basing this system off of a Pentium 3 800, using DOSbox for older titles, and running …

I'm a little unsure where to post this question, but I thought I'd try here since some of you may have similar setups. I've put together a vintage gaming PC using DOSbox connected to a Roland CM-32l over a usb to midi cable. Everythings seems to work great (sound wise) with games that use "MT-32", …

Has anyone gotten this game working 100% WITHOUT using a voodoo 1 or 2? This game was a pack-in with my old Orchid Righteous 3d card (voodoo1). I seem to remember that it also worked when I upgraded to a voodoo2, but after that - voodoo3, voodoo5 - the game did NOT work. I spent hours trying to get …

Yeah, I might do that. I just wanted a CM-32 because of the "extra" sounds they had. That, and because it was basically what I am familiar with (LAPC-I). - I know how it sounds, and how compatible it is, just wanted to keep things the same. But, yes the MT-32's are MUCH easier to come by.

Uhg.. Sounds like I need a CM-32 to really make this happen the way I would want. My LAPC-I ties me to the ISA bus limiting my options. Thats why I don't just play the old games on my current system. (AMD FX-60) That is, unless DOSbox MT32 emulation suddenly improves drastically, but I don't see …

Everyone, thanks all for your thoughts on this. Part of the problem is that I don't know what games will or will not work if I built a retro PC. I am still really torn about it. I had never considered building a semi-vintage PC before. That is, playing some of the games nativly, and some through …

Hey all... I'm thinking on building a vintage gaming PC and have a question about sound hardware. I'd like to have in my system... -LAPC-I for music and "Roland" games. -Sound Blaster 16 (or similar) with SCB-55 daughtercard attached for General MIDI soundtracks. -OR- SoundBlaster 16 with SCB-55 …

Hi all, for the longest time I've been wanting to build a retro gaming PC to play old games on, but recently have been overwhelmed learning about other options like DOSbox, emulators and wrappers. Okay here is my retro gaming box goals: -Play OLD games (like sierra, origin, etc.) with original MT32 …
