Re: SoundBlaster 128 PCI in pure dos(detection fails)

As one of the admins would no doubt write: search is your friend . The link I had to my own uploaded file there no longer works, but if I get the chance I'll put some up again at some point. The previous poster is also possibly right regarding IRQs - I had a swine of a time getting mine to decide …

Said I'd get around to it ;) I figured it needed testing most in full screen, so I stuck to that. Unfortunately I had zero joy with OpenGlide (using 009rc5), it just exited on me after the intro vids with no apparent error. eVoodoo didn't even get that far, giving an error in the renderer when I …

Meh, well for those who are interested: Unfortunately, the information you require is confidential. I'm told that the reason for this is that when Ensoniq purchased the format, the rights to create and editor (or allow anyone to do so) were not part of the deal. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Kind …

I really like the new look, but then I have a penchant for purple so that's probably what sells me on it. I like the logo particularly... looks... chocolatey... :) The squarish "new" button needs to be styled in the same way as the true round buttons, i.e. with the raised bit around the outside as …

I didn't know you could convert soundfonts to DLS, but I wouldn't be surprised as it seems to be more widely-supported. For the record, the Fluid soundfont that Snover mentioned is on the order of 150MB, but there are good GM/GS soundfonts in the 32-64MB range (such as GeneralUser, AnotherGS, …

2. ecw files. AFAIK these are still used in the DOS-drivers of the Live/Audigy series of Creative. There are 4MB, 8MB and 16 MB sets. I downloaded them somewhere ages ago and you can use them to replace the default.ecw in the dos drivers (probabyl useable in Win9x as well), either through the ini …

I'm wondering whether I might have the wrong end of the stick here, but am I right in thinking Timidity++ would be a good recommendation in the software synth department? Also, is there any software available to edit/create/convert to an Ensoniq Waveset (.ecw)? I was trying to find the file format …

No, Snover's right, I'm evidently blathering. The NT install does put a start menu link to SBLegacy.exe there regardless, mind, which is a bit daft. The dos drivers should be included in the zip file - I just packed up everything in the drivers dir together (tested them as well, as best I could, and …

K, I've uploaded the drivers I have here for any who want them, but please don't hammer it cos it's only a slow site. This is a combined set of the 9x and NT drivers, it should detect which to use automatically. Unfortunately the NT one doesn't bother with the Legacy stuff, so you might well end up …

Just walked into this one while browsing, since I have no interest in the game at this time, but what I do have is a Creative PCI 128 driver CD, the Legacy drivers from which have served me valiantly in the past. If anyone's interested I'll package em up and make them available.

Defiance is there insofar as Independence War (I-War) is listed - I know, because IIRC I was the one who added it. Since the list is regarding Glide compatibility and the same updated engine is used for Defiance as for the patched I-War, there's little point listing it twice since the same things …

Voila, c'est pourquoi je deviendrai riche en traduisant les telles choses en anglais ;) And no doubt I made a mistake in there somewhere that will make me look utterly foolish... Anyhow, I had a (very) quick look at this last night and with the possible exception of any of the .com files that litter …

Originally posted by Zorbid the solution is (95% of the time): a) Use DOSBox/VDMS b) Use Shinobi's boot disk (A french only boot disk, with a 1337 .bat driven menu. It can load DOS sound drivers as modules (very nice), but since it's MS DOS based, and French only, I never spoke of it here At all …

Bleurgh, I know it's an old thread but it's either that or start a new one... I don't know whether anyone else tried to get these to compile, but I had all sorts of problems and so did a couple of other people I railed in to try it, because the old instructions didn't seem to apply any more. In any …

I know everyone else slates it, but I picked up an SB PCI 128 about 4 years ago and I've never had a problem with the legacy drivers I got with it. The quality's probably not the best around, but hell, it works, and I'll take that...

http://amiga.supergamez.hu/EngIntroSet.html This webpage has been around for donkeys, incidentally, it's a pretty good source for, well, what it provides 😉 i.e. Kick Roms, selected games, tools and stuff. I highly recommend it.
