Yeah, that should do the trick :) I'll report back when get a minute to do this. Thanks for your patience! Oh very cool! If you could also provide the software etc. that would be great. Thank you! Back to report my findings. Hope this helps anybody who wants to make a MIDI cable for their GoldLib …

I'm adding the photos here, since they vanish from eBay after some time. None of these looks complicated, I guess the "interface" pins of the AdLib Gold are just a subset of ISA pins, probably the only thing Adlib is doing is managing resources. There were sound cards that had a socket for an NCR …

I have the "Midi Pak" cable for Adlib Gold, documentation (1993) and floppies. Apart from destroying the cable, is there any way to check which pins lead to which holes? Electrical continuity tester maybe? Yeah, that should do the trick :) I'll report back when get a minute to do this. Thanks for …

What about the MIDI cable? Is a special "Adlib" MIDI cable needed for the Joystick port? Because I've seen videos reporting problems with a typical Joystick-Midi cable. Yes, a special „AdLib“ MIDI cable is needed. It’s the very same implementation as the original card. But the pinout of that cable …

Amazing work, definitely count me in! Would LOVE to play with this and review it 😀 Plus I need an additional surround module.

Seconding to keep the soothing color palette (at the amount of time I spend reading the forum, it helps) Otherwise, any need for us to backup anything?

Thanks for everyone's input. It seems option 1 and 4 are the most popular, but divisive. Cropping if possible, black bars if not. The other options are distracting and unprofessional (despite widespread use). Cropping is horrible as it removes a good chunk of the picture. It's going to be a question …

Also, looking for opinions on this small dilemma : The doc's aspect ratio (horizontal to vertical) is most likely going to be 2:1 for different reasons. The cinematic 2.35 is WAY too wide for interviews, and the standard 1.77 (aka 16:9) looks like a TV program or youtube video. 2:1 is a new and …

Ah, some things I forgot : I've found an existing instrumental soundtrack , paid the usage rights, and contacted the composer for new, additional music for the project. Check him out, I think his music is pretty cool! https://alexmckechnie.bandcamp.com/album/degrees-of-latitude a4229965453_16.jpg …

they seem to be floating above the ground because their animation speed and stride, doesn't match the actual movement speed (so, their feet slide) so it gives a figurine/toy effect this said, visually the upscale is very pleasing

Just a quick update, lots of stuff has moved forward since last year. Editing - Editing of the first interview has reached a critical point where all the fluff has been cut out, discussions over a similar subject matter have been grouped, and now I'm left with ~80 morsels of interview (of 1 to 6 …

Threads like these make my day. Glad you finally found it! I think H.C. lended me some floppies with the demo on it. I'll check which version of Paul is inside.
