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- …

Can this be switched to MT32 mode like the SCB-55? Any plans to do a masked ROM GS bank only version of this?

The Sound Blaster 16 support built into the Cyrix MediaGX SOC is actually pretty good. It even initializes with UNISOUND just fine. OPL3 emulation is pretty good too as shown in this YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTv-ur2MR4g The Cyrix solution has pops and clicks in games like …

The line-in on the ACE can't be controlled by software, it's a pass through.

Thanks, I’m still not too happy with the HP designation on their website, I hope it’s not pulled from an HP desktop or something like that. They claim they are new old stocks. It just means that it's a (replacement) part for HP computers. HP and other brands give Intel parts an extra sticker/serial …

For the first card in the thread; did you use es968.com in config.sys? It performs some P&P tasks and enables the MPU. Needed it for my ES1688 +ES968 to get it going. For the Gold-16, have you tried toggling the software address jumper? And check if it's doing SB-MIDI through port 220.

I see this is based on the ESS1688. Is it possible to use the Eiger Labs/Fujitsu 16-bit Stereo Sound drivers instead? I believe ESS provided DMA-less drivers for PCMCIA cards and laptops like the OmniBook 600C.

Doom uses Mode Y. The Cyrix build I used to have with integrated video choked on everything Mode X/Y related. Doom didn't run well while Heretic and Hexen did. After that I read this: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/57861-h … rements/?page=2

The datasheet for the ALS007 is not available, but mine doesn't do high DMA. Reading the datasheet of the ALS100 makes me think the high DMA is being used for full duplex/recording only and not in the way the original SB16 uses it.

I created an equalizer preset for Yucatan FX! I tried to get a more balanced sound and avoid any clipping for max quality. In addition, i added a 'Low' version for very sensitive soundcards. It comes as Midi file you have to play before starting your game. Hope it helps someone! Yucatan FX Preset. …

Yes I have those currently in use. I checked the MIDs to see what Sysex was being used but MIDI events are used instead. I was hoping there would be a Sysex option for added flexibility and additional tools to use.

Is it possible to do the same (Sysex) for the equalizer? Currently using the Yucatan Presets. I checked the SAM9793 user guide (can't find the 9733 one) but I'm not able to figure out the logic.
