@ElBrunze N-Play uses the routines from Digitrakker as stated in the readme. Digitrakker uses hardware mixing (from the manual): This list contains all output-frequencys for every number of active channels. This list can't be edited, when GUS is choosen as sound-device. But to test it I should try …

Yes, I made a bat to unload CuteMouse on start of Windows 3.11 to circumvent this issue. With CuteMouse loaded it wouldn't start or would start without a mouse.

Note that I'm deliberately using the bloated Microsoft mouse driver v9 because of this issue with my BIOS, but MEMMAKER somehow manages to load it high. I came here for memory tricks but ended up with a new mouse driver. The Microsoft mouse driver v9 fixes a few things on my Cyrix MediaGX1 system. …

I use a bunch of players as there are a lot of tracker formats and not all players do every format well. Also hardware support is a thing with DOS players. Currently I use (with a GUS GF1): - XTC Player for XM as it can load files > 1MB (and FT2 doesn't work correctly on my machine); - Inertia …

Can you easily slow down one of the boards on which the Aureal doesn't work? I wonder if it's a speed sensitivity issue.

Does this card and the drivers allow you to work with protected mode games? Nope, real mode games only. The screenshots and executables seem to hint on protected mode being supported with this version (4.8) and it's newer than the version shown in the LGR video (1.1 AFAIK). From https://forums. …

I guess AudioStation was made by Voyetra, and sold with various cards with OEM branding. With ESS cards, there was AudioRack - probably ESS's own work. And there was similar software provided with GUS, not sure what exactly... Sound Impression? For the GUS PnP there was WinDecks. Don't know if …

Make sure you use ULTRINIT 2.26 if you want to use the -DJ option. This switch only works with 2.26 and otherwise you'll run into a joystick port conflict. Using ULTRINIT v2.26a with the -DJ parameter only applies to the GUS ACE because that one lacks the gameport. ;) The ACE just lacks the …

You could try these: http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1461 These are for another ES688 card but it contains ENMPU which you need to enable the MPU/Waveblaster. ESFM isn't integrated in the ES688, so they all rely on an OPL clone for FM. Games with late Miles Audio drivers you can get 16- …
