Re: AWE64 problems

Posted on 2012-05-23, 09:02

Well that wouldn't really solve the issue with the other games though.... would it? Might help if they are all DOOM engine game, and get confirmation of the keyboard and sound problems on other test PCs. What version of DOOM is having these problems you have described? Thanks for the information, …

If you wish, I could look at the DOOM problem for you. If you would be willing to ZIP up the entire installed DOOM sub-directory and upload the ZIP file to some hosting service, I could download and test on my two PCs with 8 and 16 bit Creative sound cards. The fact that the Sound Blaster Pro 2 did …

If you have access to a Sound Blaster Pro ISA card, you might want to try swapping out your AWE64 with the Pro as a test. I can not explain your 'slow' and 'key-swapped' keyboard, but the 'popping/static' from your SB16/AWE64 type 16-bit Creative Labs card is another matter. Keep the digital sound …

hwh, Thank you for the copy of your GTX-460 vBIOS. It appears that nVidia has changed the vBIOS from the original Weitek source code approach, so more disassembly will be required. If you can run some debugging tools for me on your WinXP (SP3) PC then I may be able to proceed. I know what the …

This is XP SP3. . . . If you have the time you might use the vBIOS utility NiBiTor v6.02 located here at the mvktech.net website and grab a copy of your vBIOS from the GTX-460 video adapter. Then post your GTX-460 vBIOS here as an attachment and I can take a look at the tables and code. May not …

Probably a Windows update has a bogus VGA.drv. Try searching for an older version of it and see if this resolves the issue. The VGA.DRV is used in the WinNT family for "Windows-On-Windows" in this case for Win31 apps running under the NTVDM/Win31 environment. The VGA.DRV (and dll files) do nothing …

[quote="hwh""] By the way...I did some testing and it seems that this only happens in 4 or 16 color games - 256 color dos programs don't have the problem. Therefore, it's happening in CGA and EGA but not VGA. [/quote] Any more information about what version of Windows and Service Pack you are using …

Since you are using the nVidia GTX-460 video adapter with the NTVDM of Windows, that implies the 32-bit version of Windows. Which version? And which Service Pack? Win2K WinXP Vista Win7 Go to this VOGONs post and download the CGA_TEST.ZIP file from user thothie that is named in that message. Extract …

Please see the original message in this thread for an updated version of the X-Wing IMS driver file - SBPRO_W.IMS, in a new file attachment. The name of the new attachment ZIP file is XWing_SBpro_fix.zip in the above first message. If you have already downloaded the previous driver in the now …

Here's something worth mentioning about the modified Adlib_w.ims file: the SoundBlaster Live! hates it. It works fine for the most part, but in-game, the music tends to slow down a lot and sometimes causes the game to stutter pretty badly. The SoundBlaster Live! works better with an unmodified …

Ace, Nice to see your many ISA and PCI audio cards are working with the Star Wars X-Wing (floppy) version of the game using the new SBPRO_W.IMS driver. Here's one thing you should know: the SoundBlaster AWE64 and any other Creative sound card with CQM do not output garbage when they're used to …

Ace, You could upload the ZIP file to a file hosting service and then PM me with the file location. As long as the directory structure will function while loaded under DOSBox, then I can use the debugger version and take a look. I think that might be easier than introducing you to the DOSBox …

Ace, No problem, test whenever you have time. :wink: The default delay value of TEST-SBP.EXE is 0x40. If you have access to a BIOS setup screen on your IBM 300PL, then you might want to check for the "8-bit IO Recovery time" value. If this is available on your VIA based chipset, might also help …

Ace, Here are the patch offsets for the TESTxSBP.EXE file. Feel free to hex edit the two file locations to play with the 8254 PIT values. The OPL3 write register delay is supposedly around 3.3 us (OPL2 around 26 us) and is usually done in-line with successive IO port reads. The 8254 PIT delays are …
