My favorite variant of the mt32 pi is the wavetable version using pi zero w 2 https://github.com/scrapcomputing/WavetablePi They are cheap to build and easy to install. I have one paired with a picogus and and another on a Phil and chill adapter connected to awe64 gold with softmpu. I also built a …

I'm confused on how to go about getting some juicy MT-32 music easiest on my old PCs and Macs. I've owned an actual MT-32 and sold it like an idiot. I've read about MUNT, but honestly even though I have three capable PCs close to my retro setups to run it from it sounds like a lot of cable juggling. …

Fixed on at least the Voodoo 2 Dell! Just copy fxmemmap glide2x DLL and OVL files all to the game folder from windows / system folders after deleting the original files. Too bad controls on the game have NOT aged well haha.

Hey guys I have an original copy of Croc Legend of the Gobos that does not have the directX patch installed. I have tried running it on a Pentium 200MMX 64MB or RAM and a Innovission VooDoo Bamshee PCI with driver 1.03.04 I think it is (1999 driver). As well as a Dell T500 Dimension upgraded to a 1. …

Update! Booted off a Win 98 floppy and have working sound. Game launches if I use the s2_3dfx.exe and demo runs perfect but the menu renders at like 1/2 and FPS making it unusable. Do I need to do something specific for the banshee?

Hopefully someone chimes in. Just want to say that even trying to launch the normal version of the game in software mode gives the same error. So I don't think it's voodoo related.

I resorted to trying to replace Dos4GW with DOS32 after reading some things online and While I get farther I still get illegal operations and protection faults I believe they were. I am just having no luck.

Just to update I pasted the S23dfx.exe patch from Phil's site as well and still getting the same error. Do I need to fresh install the game and NOT install the normal patch and only the 3dfx one? I am just not sure if the 3dfx patch alone will contain the updated game from this other patch as well. …

Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up ordering a spare later revision motherboard and of course it was DOA. However, I did find a screw behind the motherboard between it and the case that someone has dropped at somepoint so maybe it was shorting something out. Since doing a full removal of all the …

Off the top of my head, UAE windows releases up to year 2005 should work good, and you should get decent performance (3 or 4 times A500 clockspeed) on that machine Thank you! In researching, it seems Amiga Forever is using the W-UAE emulator in their bundle and there is a older version that will …

Thank you all for the help. For whatever reason, completely removing the drivers for the 10th time and falling back to the 3.03 drivers seems to have worked perfectly. I doubt I'll miss out much on anything with the later driver anyway and I'm scared to screw it all up by upgrading again hah.
