Yeah as you say there's a 12MHz crystal. That's the only real change. OK - Thanks a bunch. It sounds important so I'll order new PCBs, but the HASL-free front and back plates in black are $16 extra fee per side. :( I already have front/back plates but didn't order them in lead-free. I didn't think …

Have there been any changes to the PCB after the original design? I've built one quite a while ago (around May of 2023) but it was in storage during a long transition to a new house. I'm so happy to see the project continuing to be worked on but I want to make sure I'm using the "latest" PCB (if any …

Great video and really glad to see you are still working on the project!
Late 90s or 2000s games - CRT or flat panel (widescreen) ?
Posted on 2024-09-07, 01:48
I'm lucky enough to have both a CRT and a few flat panels (with Retrotink-4K and OSSC Pro) but I'm wondering what everybody thinks is the best way to play late 1990s and early 2000s games such as Unreal, Unreal Tournament, Quake 2, Quake 3, American McGee's Alice, Quake, Half-Life, Half-Life 2, etc. …
Re: Serdaco's X2GS (or X16GS) vs SC55 (or SC88) vs FluidSynth - What's the difference?
Posted on 2024-09-05, 14:39
Thanks for the reply and the information. How does the X2GS/X16GS compare to FluidSynth with the more popular SC55 sound fonts? As I mentioned I thought FluidSynth lacked support for certain sound canvas features? (and I'm not sure if the X2GS/X16GS supports them either?)
Re: PicoGUS: ISA sound card emulator with Raspberry Pi Pico (Gravis Ultrasound, AdLib, MPU-401, Tandy, CMS)

Is it possible to use the PicoGUS with Tandy/CMS + Wavetable + USB mouse? I'm lucky enough to have an Orpheus 2 and was going to pair it with a WP32 McCake but then use the PicoGUS for Tandy/CMS with an X2GS for General Midi (and USB mouse). Is this possible? That should provide basically everything …
Serdaco's X2GS (or X16GS) vs SC55 (or SC88) vs FluidSynth - What's the difference?
Posted on 2024-09-05, 13:24
Can anybody explain the difference between Serdaco's X2GS/X16GS, real SC55/SC88, and FluidSynth? I've read that FluidSynth (or the SF2 format more specifically) doesn't support enough information to fully replicate an SC55/SC88. I know there are sound fonts that are close but still not correct. Are …

you should really don't pay any real attention to the resources BIOSes allocate - they are most of the times the "wrong" ones and once drivers get loaded the desired good values are used BIOS just tries to enable all detected devices and allocate some combo of resources by reading the device tables …

Can somebody explain these PNP settings that were detected on my Orpheus 2? (full; non-lt) IMG_0785.jpeg I don't see the full list from the earlier post? WSS/SB makes sense since it's using IRQ 5 and DMA 1. (I'm assuming the "1,0" means the second DMA isn't assigned?) I'm not sure what MPU-401 is …

DFI K6XV3+/66 - BIOS mod/patch to disable ACPI IRQ (re: IRQ 2) ?
Posted on 2024-04-15, 12:14
Are there any BIOS mods or patches for the DFI K6XV3+/66 to release IRQ 2 from ACPI? The BIOS has an option to disable ACPI but according to MQDIAG (from PCMIDI), IRQ 2 is still not available. I've tried using ModBin to modify the BIOS but I don't even see the hidden option that I can enable. …

PCMIDI ideal settings are IRQ2 and address 330 (you might need to disable ACPI and revert to APM in the MVP3 mobo bios to get back control of IRQ2) Thanks so much for the help and explanation! Is there any disadvantage to disabling ACPI? (I think it just enables automatic poweroff when you shutdown …

Sorry for another question but can somebody explain the required IRQs and DMAs? SB/SBPRO/WSS (provided by CSS chip) - IRQ 5 and DMA 1 (can be changed using PNP via UNISOUND or ORPHINIT). GRAVIS ULTRASOUND - IRQ 7 and DMA 7 (required settings?) PCMIDI - IRQ # (can be changed using jumpers) Does that …

Sorry to post to this extremely old topic but does anybody have soggi's modified BIOS for the DFI K6XV3+/66 (rev B2) ? I'm hoping it allows disabling of ACPI to free IRQ 2 for PCMIDI/Orpheus 2. Also, what is the VIA 4-in-1 driver mentioned here?

Interesting and thanks again! I'm using something like the bottom picture (ie. motherboard doesn't have gameport or built-in sound) but it's working. Maybe someday I'll find a panel like the first one you listed (but with gameport/sound blocked). Thanks again! 😀

Thanks very much for the information! I found a spare I/O shield in my spare parts that matches (with a few extra/empty ports). I might pickup that one you mentioned though but we'll see.

I purchased a DFI K6XV3+/66 motherboard and it came with an I/O shield but it doesn't work with my case: IMG_0780.jpeg The I/O shield is also strange because it has an L-shaped bend which I haven't seen before: IMG_0782.jpeg Also, the case I'm using has an opening for the I/O shield that appears to …

That gives me a lot of hope, thanks! I'll be using a DFI K6XV3+/66 but it seems very similar to the HOT-591P.
