Nothing at all? :D Did not expect such lack of interest Or did I miss something? I'm always interested in such efforts. Money to actually buy the finished product, on the other hand, is an entirely different matter. :D So, some (hopefully helpful) questions: Do you have a command that allows you to …

I concur, really neat design and features, well done. (also - and slightly off topic - that's insanely cool what they're doing with Adlib Tracker these days - my OPL3 music didn't usually sound like that in the 90's!!) BTW these youtube videos I filmed for suzb3ro (the creator of Adlib Tracker) and …

Hi! Is this different from RetroWave OPL3 Express (previously the RetroWave OPL3) ? DosBox-X already have support for it too... Thanks for the info, didn't know about it.. I made a research about something similar when started the OPi and there was no such thing Strange that it looks ridiculously …

Hello there! This is a new design I've been working on for quite some time. OPi is an external USB sound device that allows games and other software running in DOSBox to use an original OPL3 chip for music playback. Additionally it has a line audio input for mixing PCM sound from a computer with …

How did you designed this blasterboard PCB to have quiet output vs the noisy original? Cheers, I did not improve the original schematic, it is designed from scratch How I designed it: First - I build a prototype which was noisy as aphex twin's ventolin :) Then studied all I could find on power …

I wonder where do the providers pull them from in such quantities. Seems like they have an infinite flow of old adlibs, sound blasters and cheap pianos. Taking a random bunch from the last order - all chips are used and have different manufacturing stamps, so they are originals I assume. An infinite …

Hi! I'm planning my 386 build and this card matches it perfectly. Hope to order it soon (if there will be no war, for sure :(). Is it possible to get it in yellow PCB?

...Replaced the inductor and the IC out of caution... Glad you made it As mkarcher said the inductor indeed acted as a fuse and kept the opamp from burning I was wondering, is it possible to use an OPL-3 chip instead? OPL3 chip needs a YAC512 DAC, which needs the schematics to be modified, so …

Glad to announce that thanks to your support today I shipped the 100th BlasterBoard! Was totally not expecting this when started the project back in summer of 2018. The community is growing and hope it will grow even more. Kind regards and gratitude to everyone!
