Hi! I think the title is self-explanatory. Here is the thing: my Floppy 1 is damaged. I can't install the game anymore. My game is installed since 1996 but I changed soundcards and their IRQs, DMAs...So I ended up with a crappy soundblaster music and most of the sound effects are missing. I'd like …

I tried and it failed: you have to stick with DMA 1. The cards sounds just OK: better than a Soundblaster but doe not stand a chance against my Roland SCC1. Its main interest is to emulate both SB and General MIDI at the same time.

Also, I tested with the external cache disabled (via BIOS setting). No difference. And I consistently got the black screen, then time after the scene with the stone (before you even see the moongate). I even used the settings provided by the bootdisk. I can bypass the black screen problem by …

hi! I grabbed a Soundwave some times ago and I decided to install it. I read the manuel: "DMA must be 1 and can't be changed". Nevertheless I see a jumper (J4) on mine (and yours) stating "DMA, 1,3". I think Elianda and I own the same version. Is there someone who tried to change the DMA to 3? It …

My sound card (an AWE32) has LINE IN, MIC IN, SPKR OUT, and LINE OUT. I assume I plug the MT-32 into the LINE IN and my speakers to the LINE OUT. LINE IN for the MT-32 cables. If you have amplified speakers (i.e with their own power source) you can use the LINE OUT. If not, you should use the SPKR …

while playing X-wing: the SCC1 plays the music (with some different instruments). The MT-32 plays one hanging note (some kind of larsen). I know some games have hardcoded settings for soundcards (factory settings). Maybe that's it! You can't choose any setting in X-wing. What have you selected for …

Hi! The GUS setup is tricky: it changes the Blaster variable to allow the GUS's SoundBlaster emulation. Hence your real SoundBlaster card will be ignored. So the Blaster variable should be modified to fit with your physical SoundBlaster card: get it back to the previous values: I/0 220 d1 i5... …

Cyclone3D should be right: diagnose.exe is required to set up properly your card on every boot. Mixerset allows to set up the volume. Older SoundBlasters use jumpers and newer ones (less old) use diagnose.exe. It is not a driver and does not take conventional memory.

The SCC1 will always output sound when you send MIDI data to it's MPU401 - if you're using an MT-32 attached to it then you just have to ignore output from the SCC1 - i.e. mute it via your external mixer, unplug the cable from the RCA or headphone jacks. thanks you for your answer! Nevertheless I …

hi! I run a GUS "classic, 3,74" along with a SoundBlaster 16. there is no problem :lol: . If you don't mind about recording while playing, you can't duplicate GUS's IRQ & DMA. Hence the GUS will need only 1 I/O adress, 1 IRQ & 1 DMA. Check it out: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=14008 Note: …

ACPI is already disabled. I should tell I did run any program after SCC1 installation: CHKSCC.exe tells me an other card uses the same adresse (330h-331h).

Hi! I've got an old MT-32 that I plugged to my Roland SCC1 (IRQ 2 and MPU 330h-331h). When I start X-wing or Legend of Kyrandia (for example), the music plays through both devices (I can check that because I use an external mixer and can shut off 1 output). Then there is a hanging note (on the SCC1 …
