Re: Making a new soundfont for the AWE 64

I've tested the soundfont on some midi files (I have SB Audigy) and must say that I'm impressed. Many of them sound really nice. Some sound a bit unbalanced though, the percussion being just a bit too loud. The worst however are HIDNSEEK.MID (from GUS driver pack) - the main melody instrument ( …

This project is looking really cool so far. I seen that you can script commands to switch iso's using terminal connection on the usb port over a emulated serial port. Would it be possible for a future revision that just has the serial port header directly on the pcb? Sending commands over a standard …

Yeah with the volume levels the Orchestra addon gets a little unwieldy. I've placed in a shitton of instrument samples and reverb effects to make it try and simulate a real orchestra with the same sort of harmonic reverberations you'd hear in a concert hall, but it can do really weird things at …

I've tested it a lot with DK3D and SW but not with RotT yet. That's probably why I didn't know about that bug until now. Which songs exactly are you having issues with? I might be able to tweak the offending instrument's frequency or fadeoff or something to bring it back in line with GM standards. …

There already exists a few options for software ODE for DOS, but none support audio. I have a bunch of DOS games that use the audio output of the CD-ROM drive and I hate having to burn discs and swap them out all the time. A physical ODE with audio support would be worth alot to me. For a modern …

Yeah it's a confusing mess right now. I'll post a tutorial on how to get it working once I get a good process going. Also there's been some big updates today so hopefully the XP version is working now.

For the PS1, GC and Dreamcast ODEs they just have a physical button that you press to swap to the next disk. It's suggest doing that and also put on a header that will let you plug in your case's reset switch or something. Bluetooth would be pretty cool though. And several esp32 modules now have …

There's a Yamaha XG vst floating around the net that works really well with FSMP. I suggest you check that out. It's probably better than the SoundFont you're using.

The windows 7 version of DSOAL apparently works with KOTOR, but I haven't tried it yet so I don't know yet. Here's a list of Directsound games and different methods to get the EAX/A3D support working on them... keep in mind that the people who made this list only tested with Win7 https://docs.google …

You're probably better off using Windows 7 and DSOAL This is the most compatible EAX emulation solution I've messed with so far. https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65094 There is a Windows XP version of DSOAL but it's not very good yet. https://github.com/pachuco/dsoal-XP

Apparently there's a XP fork of DSOAL https://github.com/pachuco/dsoal-XP/tree/master/release I'm testing it now to see how usable it is. It seams to work, seems to work pretty well so far for me but more testing is required. Looks like it's gonna be a fun next couple of days. 😉

I've been trying to get a Windows XP vm up and running to play games on. Using KVM-QEMU I've been able to get gpu acceleration and basically everything works perfectly except for sound. Sound works, but it's very limited and hollow sounding without proper EAX support. Does anyone have any good tips …

This is complete rumor BS, but I noticed that a dude named Phill in australia is dumping a bunch of retro hardware that Phill covered at one point or another in his videos. You think he's dumping his old stock? https://www.ebay.ca/sch/phillat0/m.html?_nkw= … =1&_ipg=&_from=

For those that are curious, I'm working on a custom distro of FreeDOS that will include some autodetection/setup scripts for PCI and ISA soundcards, CD-ROMs, NICs, etc... I also plan on integrating some GUI elements but that's pretty low priority at the moment. I'll make an official announcement …

Does anyone know of a MS-DOS tool that can list the device and vendor IDs of all attached PNP compatible hardware? Open source would be preferred as I'm working on a project that will need me to pull that info.
