Depending on you're computer speed.. Kaminari coughed right 😀.. I have a Piv 1.7 (not a fast one, 133 fsb dram e.d.) and I can barely run it. Find it on sourceforge and download it from the north american mirror (others seem broken a.t.m.)

This yamaha software synthesizer was also available for download (free) on the Yamaha webpage a long time ago, they've gone commercial later on. There's also a roland software synth around which sounds alot like the dx 9 synth. I don't know if it's the very same as the one microsoft uses, the …

Well.. I'm guessing you're not content with the "default" mpu-401 device (soft or hardware). Soundfonts are nothing more then samples which u can load into the system (or soundcard) to replace the "default" samples. So if the standard samples samples sound like crap, you can update them. (Game wise, …

The "old" Toshiba models are sturdy laptops.. (not unbreakble.. but the plastic look is more scratch resistant then the shiny/metallic counterpart). Never get (cheap) metallic laptops... Yes they seem prettier, but get dirty earlier, scratch sooner. There isn't really a "The best" laptop, just make …

I know of that patch, but now it works without any 3d party "improvements". Also, with the patch there's no more mt-32 support.. What's the fun in that?

Thanks!! There was this scsi controller that ate up to many UMB's. Now i've got EMS again. Dune SFX work now.. tedious.. I think there is just one channel for SFX in dune2, and when it's in use it will use the FM synth for sfx. (Game related) X-wing now has SFX too.. I'm still wondering why SFX …

I tried dune 2 / transport tycoon / dott / x-wing and willy beamish.. (The only games that I have here at the moment.. sorry,) Dune 2 doesn't seem to play digitized effects.. odd, this maybe my bad.. never played that game with sfx. (It loads gunsounds in the mt-32.. not as cool as digitized, but I …

You are misinformed about the HD-DVD format. It isn't DVD Video, it is MPEG-4 Windows Media 9 Format video in true high-definition 1440i that, Microsoft is hoping, will be an additional data track. I'm confused :(, though I'm almost sure M$ is marketing their new mediaplayertrack as DVD-HD.. ( …

By all means, test it. Just understand that this is an experimental Alpha program. It will not perform anywhere near the level on the NT version. Don't scare him.. the 98 VDMsound runs 'near' perfect on my machine. Though I only use the midimapper output module to map midi through there, It runs …

VDMsound works like a charm here.. it acts the way it does in XP (quits willy beamish.. $%$##$) and fixes midi timing with most games.. (no worries though, willy does just fine in dosbox) I think they fixed some bugs, and added some legecy emulation.. it's my guess. Still haven't found any "features …

I'm baffled... Micr$oft has done something with dos support on their new os. It has mpu-401 support out of the box, in msdos boxes. Kinda dope.

Unless you try to fetch things like the link referrer (to avoid leeching), which IE / Netscape supplies.. probably just a small bug in the script.. Nice of revolution to freeware their game... I hope more companies wil follow 😀

I've always used the MT-32 for most GM games, knowingly it sounds cheesy most of the time, expecially if no custom sounds are used. I've read in numerous threads that most of u guys use customized soundfonts like fluid (rev3), synergi and the microsoft DLS font. (Also downloadable as sf2 somewhere). …
