It most certainly looks like it is. The board layout fits, and there's still a part of the "NOT FOR RESALE" sticker on the back. Seems you were very lucky with that purchase 😀

Posted on 2022-04-27, 13:37
I can understand the usefulness of this for a General MIDI device, but the CM-32L is based on the MT-32, which has a known polyphony. What is an examples are there where the composer wrote music for the MT-32 without taking this into consideration? I'm not aware, and I'm just doing it for the fun …

The X2GS is great for listening to old video game music and playing games because of it's 81-voice polyphony and HQ soundbank, which makes it perfect for retro gaming builds with these "new soundcards". Those of us on modern systems with no soundcard rely on the VSTis, but what really baffles me …
DOSBox normal4x, normal5x & normal6x again (patch for revision 4473)
Posted on 2022-04-13, 07:31
Hi there, I know, we've had it many times in the past. However, I wanted to fiddle around a little and as a result, I added the scalers normal4x, normal5x and normal6x to the current DOSBox SVN revision 4473, and compiled DOSBox SVN for myself. A little experiment, I want to look into normal3x/ …

Yeah, really great news, the best in weeks!!! Now, I need a retail release to make it perfect... I want a nice new box to put right next to the old ones :) MI:3 is a good game but doesn't count as far as Ron Gilbert is concerned. Yeah, that's what he posted in his blog, almost 10 years ago. But his …

Those are some nice systems and a great source of information for my builds. Thanks! You're welcome.

Replacing some of my older PSU has been a to-do item for quite some time. I just never did it, for various reasons, well, excuses 😉 Recently, when I finally was able to play through of Grim Fandango on my Voodoo5 6000, I decided to just replace them all. I chose Seasonic's Focus GX 550W unit for all …

Yesterday saw the grand reconfiguration of my MIDI setup! First, a little background. Roughly five years ago, I read about Cloudschatze's interesting setup, which includes a split channel configuration of 2x CM-64 (2x32 voice=64 voice polyphony) and 2x SC-55 (2x24 voice=48 voice polyphony), here and …
