Why would anyone go through all that work to get Monkey Island to play in DOS when you can just use ScummVM? I can't fathom why anyone would ask this kind of question, but let's see if we can close the gap of 'not understanding' here. (Sorry for replying to an old post, but probably as much as the …

When I saw this topic, I thought it's some kind of comedy thread. People here are SERIOUS when they say a Macintosh version is better? Really? I have played quite many versions of many of those games on the list, and I would say it's at least _HIGHLY_ (!) debatable, whether Mac versions of some of …

Hello, all. I noticed a locked thread about this problem, written in 2007 or so - I wanted to reply to that thread, but since it's locked, I can't. I can't figure out how anyone has ever been able to make the music work in that game. I even watched two separate videos, and neither had any music (the …

I skimmed this thread through, but couldn't quite make out what kind of FM chip this thing has. Haven't watched the LGR video as of yet. There is so much talk about 'emulation' in this thread, it's a bit confusing - does this mean emulation of OPL2, or does the hardware have an actual, real Yamaha …

The term "FM" only refers to the Yamaha OPx chips, at least on PCs. Tandy 3-voice, CMS and SID are not "FM". You are right, I've used incorrect terminology. Let me rephrase that. All of those are frequency synths with different types of modulations. Some have primitive amplitude modulation (for …

Good work, it's always good to have more ways to map the compatibility of these magnificent devices. However, if I am permitted to present small corrections; It's 'convenient', not 'convienient'. There should be a comma before the word 'Digger' (and if it's a name, it should be written with an …

This reminds me of the Sierra Amiga conversions, that are similarly missing two horizontal lines (or was it more?), because the graphics conform to the Amiga's GUI bar, that's larger than the DOS version's (probably proprietary) GUI bar. So you get less graphics and fewer pixels for the money..

"..software-based emulation finally became better in almost all cases" Um, how can -emulation- be better than the thing that's being emulated? I can understand it in the cases like Amiga's 68060 CPU being faster than a real Mac's 68040, so emulating Mac on that would be better, because it's faster …

As to OPL3 functionality, you have a few different options. These are a few that are well tested, commonly available, and inexpensive: The excellent OPL3LPT should also be mentioned, when talking about OPL3. It goes to the LPT port and has a real YMF262 soundchip in it, and it sounds great. …

thanks for the deep analysis, You welcome. don't look at the waveforms, purely judge by your ears. Well, I am a visual (as well as aural) individual, I need to always see everything in detail. So I'll always be looking to get more information. I had to record these sounds to wavs to be able to …

> Hi all, Hi! > Can you listen and compare the 3 tracks in this playlist ? Affirmative. > Which track sounds best, and why ? The differences are quite subtle. I'd say B sounds like OPL2 instead of OPL3, and A and C sound very similar to each other. B also looks different from the others, while also …
