That's an interesting idea, what led you to that theory? I'm not even sure the percussion has loop points defined or sustain enabled. That is something I will have to look into in greater detail. I am working on other related software for now, and will share the details of that effort shortly. I …

A little more searching revealed some other interesting details. First, a question Beegle might be able to answer: what was the relationship between Les Editions AdLib and AdLib Inc.? Was that an earlier name? It appears the Quebec government was trying to keep AdLib afloat. A loan was approved in …

My antivirus software even blocks images on Vogons for some reason. I suspect that's related to images that are linked as HTTPS, without a perfect certificate in place. I think the problem with the EXE files is that they are DOS EXE files? It hasn't complained about my own local file server, and …

And yes, what IS that anti-virus software??? And why no specific info about that warning? As others have suggested, it is BitDefender. I didn't provide any additional details because I don't have any; it summarily blocked access to the site without further information. I can't find any details in …

It doesn't seem to be as simple as that; many sites I visit host executable files, and I've never seen that warning before. It's almost like it detected something specific, but didn't provide any information about the nature of the warning. I can bypass the warning, but now I'm wondering if that's …

The included software does indeed make use of "message files"; files that contain messages that are to be displayed by the software. In some releases, they are in a languages sub-directory of the installation path, and have an MLS extension. They are likely to be different, depending on the version …

I tried to visit vogonsdrivers.com a few minutes ago, only to have my anti-virus software block the page with a red malware warning. It didn't elaborate, so I chose not to ignore the warning. Has anyone else had the same warning? Is there any information about why this warning was issued?

Apparently the plot thickens. I wasn't aware of the fact that the German company re-sold it, apparently to a Taiwanese company, a few years later. Peklop's findings with the FCC IDs are also rather intriguing. Somewhat unrelated, but if the AudioTrix Pro was the only ID registered to MediaTrix …

I have some doubts about percussion on begginig of doom intro... something is wrong with it like wrong tunes. On some of my daughterboards it sound similar. Thanks for your feedback. More ears would be welcome. Those are files I found and downloaded long ago. There is a note in the file that says …

They were German-engineered? It seems strange that, from what you're saying, they used off-the-shelf parts for those cards, yet they made quite a big deal about "AdLib Semiconductor" and their video chipsets. Do you happen to have the dual-bus monster in your possession? Are you ever planning to …

After AdLib went bankrupt, their assets were purchased by a Germany company, and it was re-named AdLib Multimedia. It was my understanding that they retained the office on Grande Allée Est, for a while, at least, but dismissed most of the original engineering team. Some time after the AdLib Gold, …

Just a shot in the dark: have you tried changing the "Plug and Play OS" BIOS setting (if your system has one)? On some systems, only devices necessary to boot will be initialised when it is set to Yes, leaving everything else to the operating system.

Is it possible to generate a custom ROM that works with Megaem ? From shock__'s previous comments, it seems that it can be made to work, however it seems to be quite sensitive to the content of the particular ROM. Figuring out exactly what is required for it to work may be rather tedious, as the …

For the curious, there has been some progress. Since collecting the list of instruments for Doom 2, I have sent a few ROM files to shock__, and the earlier versions didn't exactly produce satisfactory results. I suspect that we either have an early version of the ROMMAKER, or they massaged their …

I would opt for better quality too, but it's not my project. Some people really jump at the chance for instant gratification, even if they live to regret it later.
