the other one was this CoolSoft_VirtualMIDISynth_2.12.4 win10.exe, is this reliable? Last time I tried... - it worked - didn't have any ads, I think (but please download from CoolSoft's official site, not from some generic sofware download site) - it sounded noticeably different and inferior to …
Re: PS2 keybord is not recognised but usable.

but how would a Ps2 port detect a "special" keyboard? It's a bidirectional data port so both ends are capable of sending arbitrary non-standard commands.

Okay thanks, i am leaning toward the SB AWE64 CT4520. Do you know if this play MIDI music for games that support it? AWE64 supports FM synth of the older Sound Blasters as well as Adlib, though it doesn't exactly sound the same as the original OPL2/OPL3 chip. Most DOS games that use MIDI support …

Posted on 2022-01-18, 20:39
For DOS games you should look for ISA sound cards. DOS games do not have native support for PCI sound cards, partly because such cards only became common (and ISA slots started to disappear) roughly at the same time when DOS was slowly becoming a thing of the past. Some PCI soundcards came with a …

On ebay there are only few PCI riva TNT's available and all are well over 120€ while you can get an AGP version for les then 10€.

Re: Is it possible to have nearest neighbour upscaling without the scanline filter?
Posted on 2022-01-16, 12:03
I can get a perfect integer scale with the pixels showing as 2 x 2 or 4 x 4 for a single pixel. I think perfect integer scaling is overrated. It gives you an absurdly sharp, blocky image, something that CRT does not. CRT image is always blurred to a greater or lesser degree. Integer scaling …

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 (don't …

Usually it means that DOS doesn't recognize the file as an .exe file (the MZ header is missing) while it cannot possibly be a renamed .com file because it is bigger than 64k. Corrupted file it is. (this also means that DOS will happily attempt - and probably crash - to execute any corrupted .exe …
