Here are the banks that i could find. I was going to try the GM_MAUI.WFB. Im still also trying tone out some of the pins to see where they go to on the ICS chip. That with the datasheet might help explain some of the settings. It would be awesome to see if you get the loader linked earlier to work …

maybe you could include it but keep off by default and allow these extra features to be enabled by command line?

So what can you run from the sim memory slots? Im just confused is the memory for GUS or for AWE32 functions? Seems like it would be 2 mb for GUS soundbanks? Definitely they are not to load samples in .wav form as in other WaveFront synts, you should look where the simm slot traces go, my bet these …

so i bought this card and like to give my findings so far. there are 2 apps in that driver sf32av and wflite, both seems to work. The wflite has an option to change the mpu address but i dont think it will have any effect since it seems the vibra chip can only do 330. I couldnt get diagnose to …

your right you cant short the two signals together. what you really need is a line in on one of the cards and connect the line out from the other then the built in mixer can handle it. I do this with a audigy 2 and a vortex. i think for external hw using two analog to digital converters and then you …

@pc-sound-legacy in one of the previous links was a tool to upload WFB files to the ram. Have you happen to have tried anything in regards to the memory simms? Seems it should support 8mb, but reading through the other thread seems there was a struggle to convert soundfonts to the WFB format. I did …

most affordable and capable solution is the mt32pi, it will do all soundfonts and mt32 emulation.

do you have other pci cards installed, maybe theres some conflict? i had issues with my voodoo 3 in my compaq presario (i think its a pci bridge device causing issues), i ended up with a asus socket 7 for it.

Right now I only have 2 systems with agp that are via chipsets. It was pretty unstable in the older system but as i said earlier it showed the same bad performance. But your right it could be something with the VIA chipset. even if it was some lower end 7XXX part i dont think the performance would …

well i think i solved my problem ;-) I was able to get a ATI X800 Pro and i think its better performing than the 7300 GT would have been. Im getting 260 fps in quake 3, rough numbers for sdmark: 18k in 2000 19k 2001 8k in 2003. I dont think ive seen nature in 2001 run so well. I appreciate all the …

So i saw the gpuz tool can dump the bios and i found one of the web for the 7300 GT. I then ran a diff in beyond compare and came up with these diffs. I think the 0x0D should be ascii carriage returns. But is odd is these arnt in the card's bios and you can see theres 4 bytes missing from the total …

I would also look into any eeprom chips as well if any. I have a card (not ess) that flakes out and i have to rewrite the eeprom to fix it.

Originally i was using 307.83 which was released on 2013.2.26 for the 6200. I initially just did a swap for the 7300 which should also be supported by 307.83. But it showed the bad performance. Then is was suggested to use an older driver which i tried 93.71, with same results. So im guessing part …

checked in multiple locations and the aperture agp memory is 256 mb. Ive messed around with the bios settings and nothing helps there either. its a shuttle sk21g, so the page below says VIA K8M800CE + VT8237R+ https://global.shuttle.com/products/productsS … ec?productId=85
