Re: Reverse Engineering Sid Meier's Railroad Tycoon

This is all very interesting. I’m specially interested in how the sound drivers work. With MicroProse there seems to be an OPL2 which handles single and Dual OPL2 cards (ASOUND), an OPL3 driver (PSOUND), and a Roland driver (RSOUND). There’s also usually a digital driver. I’m very interesting in …

Meh, wake me up when the Kernel is on version 2.45. That one has the milestones that hopefully will fix the bugs with some games

Wow... it has been FIVE YEARS since my list post in this thread and over SIX since I started it. Kind of surprised there haven't been any more posts from people wandering in here after messing with a PAS16. Well i probably missed this thread, but in my case, and owning a Pro Audio Studio XL i admit …

It would actually be really cool to have this capable of handling ISO and BIN/CUE files.

Mind you there is no "current revision". Dreamblaster has indicated they have little time to make a new batch, and though we're all cheering them on, there's no guarantee there will ever be a new ISA card with this sound chip. I'm not sure what the "old" revision decoded. C0 should be safe for PC/ …

Hi! Does the current revision decode one of the 8bit ports, like 0E0h i suggested? I'd be keen on creating a new pack of patches that works on 0E0h. I also don't mind creating an additional pack for the OUT 0C0h method, provided that there's already a TSR that hooks the interrupt, so i can test …

On the PCM side, it is less flexible than most Crystal designs, and generally delivers lower playback quality. However, there may be ways to get interesting features out of it. I also found the ESS chipset, as far as playback quality, to be inferior to the Yamaha YMF 71x series. Compatibility wise, …

Re: Patched Alone in the Dark (CD version) DSS driver for Covox Speech Thing

Seems like Infogrames used the same driver for Alone in the Dark 2 (Floppy), Alone in the Dark 2 (CD version) and Alone in the Dark 3 (CD). So this patched driver will work in all. If you're wondering about Alone in the Dark 1 (Floppy), i can't do anything about it, sound routines for the various …

Hi there, it's amazing how much better the Covox Speech Thing sounds, compared to the Disney Sound Source. So i took a look into the driver and forced the driver to always be resident regardless of detection. This allows the sound routines to otherwise play on the Covox Speech Thing, with FAR FAR …

Hi there. I need some help from GoldLib users. Recently i found out that, unlike other sound libraries, my Goldlib plays PCM sound usually with one channel disabled (or sound on that channel extremely low), but that happens ONLY with HMI SOS sound library. Examples of games that use HMI are Abuse or …

The ETHFLOPD server version for DOS is fantastic. I'm using it in DOSBOX-X to serve my main DOS PC. It would be cool if ethflopd server could access sub-folders instead of only being able to see disk images on its main directory. This would allow to have disk images well organized. Other than that, …

Hmm how much does that code depend on the 6502 emulation? There's certainly no need to emulate that. I thought most stuff emulated on the PicoGUS came from DOSBox, seems like i'm a bit uninformed.

@polpo any plan to add more sound card support? Still plenty of stuff emulated on DOSBox (X and Staging) not yet on the PicoGUS. - IBM Music Feature; - Innovation SSI; - Covox Speech Thing; - Disney Sound Source;

Oh awesome. Thank you for pointing me to this. :D I wonder if something can be done with Simon, too. Simon already has MT32 + Speech. It's soundtrack probably won't sound too good in a general MIDI module, but if you have a SC-55 you can use the MT-32 mode on the SC-55 at least. Not sure if Simon …

Yeah, I suspected as much. It's a bit like BASS - I can't use the Roland sound canvas without losing the speech. It has to have the Sound Blaster option in order to get speech, music and SFX. I think before, when I used my onboard sound, I had the MT32 option enabled, and that was as close as I …
