Very exciting news! How do SF2 banks translate to Dream banks size wise with this new way of conversion?

X2GS has a LED, that's why I asked. Did you try toggling the joystick option in the BIOS?

Does the S2 have a power or activity LED btw? Any sign that it is getting power?

The ECS board I had did have a MPU port setting in the BIOS and a joystick port. I think it should work, at least when I installed Creative drivers for the MediaGX it passed all the tests. My Advantech doesn't have a joystick port and I think the MPU setting isn't available in the BIOS as well.
Testing Turtle Beach Rio revisions 2.0 and 3.0
Posted on 2024-01-26, 20:01
The Turtle Beach Rio has a number of revisions that seem to deal with noise: https://www.os2museum.com/wp/tahiti-rio-monterey/ I started comparing my unmodded 2.0 and 3.0 Rio's to see what is the difference. I've noticed that the Rio 2.0 has indeed noise in the signal and capacitors that whine as …

Thank you! So it's around half of the X16 (rated at 400 mA with 2x the DSP cores).

Does anybody know the power consumption of the X2GS?

I unchecked it and now the MIDI file plays (Y4002_01.MID), so it seems to be the case. Thanks for this excellent piece of software btw!

Are those Insertion FX compatible with those on the SC-88 Pro? As in a MIDI file that uses Insertion FX targeted at a SC-88 Pro will work on the X16GS?

Happy new year everybody! About those "F5 nn" messages, I'm I correct to assume those don't get transferred correctly when using an USB to MIDI adapter? I use a Lekato USB to MIDI adapter in combination with a ChiLL III board and an X2GS but Falcosoft MidiPlayer hangs at an attempt to play a 32 ch. …

I've used mine through MIDI (with an USB-MIDI cable + CHiLL board) and at other times directy through USB on Windows 10 systems. Both ways work perfectly with Falcosoft MIDI player, DosBox, MIDI-OX and various MIDI editors.

Did you replace the battery with something else? If not that might be the problem.

Is the keyboard controller perhaps near the place the Varta battery was? And does it do this only in the BIOS?

Glad to read you got it working. So, if I'm not mistaken, the on-board memory died and caused all these issues?

What was the issue with the Tropez Plus? Those are rare but one of the greatest cards, at least on paper.
Re: Turtle Beach Maui "thinks" it's playing sound
Posted on 2023-12-12, 08:27
The output shows that volume has a correct value. Setting an illegal value can happen but isn't the case. I'm confused however by "Number of samples". I can't recall what I had with the Tropez/Maui but it seems an odd number. WaveFront does 512 samples max. and uses ~350 samples in ROM if I'm not …

Can setwf143 see the card? You can also set the volume with that tool. What MOS file are you loading?

The readme that came with dlsread.exe (which converts DLS files to 94i Dream instruments) makes me think Hoontech ever had some sort of XG compatible firmware available. https://m.blog.naver.com/PostView.naver?isHtt … &logNo=55230060

You could try NOLFB for Screamer 2. By the way, both games support 3DFX if I'm not mistaken. Are these Voodoo 1/2 only titles?
