I would love SoftMPU to support Jemm386 too. I'm currently using a combination of XMGR and Jemm386 and its too good to ignore.
Re: The comprehensive list of all modern reproductions of vintage sound cards

YM2151 is OPM and has nothing to do with OPL. It is very similar to OPN though but nothing on PC can use it. IBM Music Feature card does have 2151 as a MIDI device but this card won't be compatible since it isn't exposing it as a MIDI device but a direct access part. Some emulation or VGM playback …

I found what caused Cycles to freeze. It was caused by FreeDOS. All games that use that same engine will not work on FreeDOS. I personally reported that Alone in the Dark (Floppy version) does not work on the Facebook group, some other user reported Grand Prix Circuit, and despite the FreeDOS …

Do the ISA Yamaha cards like the YMF719 have the same issue? Thinking I might grab one of those and use that instead if it would be more compatible. :S Sorry for the time it took to answer; no the YMF-719 cards do not suffer from this. I would love to see this issue sorted since the AIL games are …

A little off topic, but i would love to test one of these dual OPL2 blocks of yours with a PAS16 and see if i could eventually simulate a dual OPL2 original PAS card. It would involve muting the OPL3 on the PAS16 of course, but i feel like i could pull this off.

@Cloudschatze That's the most beautiful sound card close up picture that i've ever seen! The card looks absolutely pristine, and it seems it just came out of the production line. 😀

Two pickups Sound Blaster CT1920 WaveTable upgrade. Never had one of those so only now I realised it doesn't have any audio jack, just a proprietary header. Need to find out how to connect it. You can solder a 3.5mm jack or you can use a cd cable. However i think the ground pin on the card is …
Re: Lands of Lore (CD version) General MIDI port changer

A lot of refinements made, probably last version of the tool. It is now (hopefully) completely dummy proof. Invalid characters will be denied, and only 3 actual characters are possible to input. Some code optimization made too, with much better multiplication. Not that a simple tool needed it, but …

Ok new version now available, now user can type port instead of a pre made selection. The old version is still available if someone prefers the older one. This new version also does A-F hex digits, for those cards that have options for weird ports.

I wrote an 8086 asm version which allows you to enter the two digits of the address: https://16-bits.org/etc/lvmusprt.zip Please note that I am new to x86 asm coding, and as such the included code is not the best.

I uploaded the diagram for the address-switches I'm aware of the ports the SCC-1 uses, Tyrian is a game that supports all those on purpose, because of an SCC-1. I've made a revised version of the program real fast to make port 336h available. I've uploaded it on my previous post. This program was …

I don't mind making it more robust. Granted, the SCC-1 is probably the only card that has those weird ports. I'll update the program with user input. EDIT: In the meantime here's a revised version to accomodate you for port 336h. Filename LVPORT.exe File size 1.87 KiB Downloads 10 downloads

Don't think so, the game might be using 16bit samples. What i don't understand is why they didn't add other 16bit cards as options, instead locking it out to only SB16.

Among those the OTI-087 and the Trident 8900D are the better ones. Check them both for output quality and speed.
