I found that Lemmings 2 accepts the Mortal Kombat 1 UltraTech/GOG Adlib and Roland drivers, as long as the drivers have their file extension renamed to BIN. In the Lemmings 2 music folder, just remove the old adlib.bin and roland.bin and copy over adlib.drv and roland.drv and rename the file ext. I …

According to Lemmings Music Player the decompressed file adlib.dat has both music and sounds. So, there is no indication of digital fx. I stumbled onto this program because it almost works with Mortal Kombat 1's adlib.drv, except only 1 sec of music plays.

In FSMP, is there a way to filter Controller 0 and Controller 32 but only on channel 10? I remapped the percussion banks from the "E-mu General MIDI.exb" banks from the X Producer CD in Proteus VX, but have to manually adjust channel 10 otherwise.

You need a receiver that supports Dolby Prologic II/IIx/IIz. Your PC sound card will connect to the receiver with 2 channel stereo, preferably SPDIF. The receiver will upmix the audio to your 5.1/7.1/9.1 speakers. You should be able to select gaming mode in the receiver for best results in terms of …

Copy the MID_DIR folder to the PX folder, and rename HULK_AD.MID to SAMPLE.OPL or SAMPLE.AD. Then, make sure there is a DEFDRV.INI file with sbp2fm or adlib. HULK_A.MID should sound exactly …
