I have to add that Wolf3D doesn't have reversed stereo with this card. I also noticed that Magic Engine (DOS version 0.91 - TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine emulator) only reverses stereo sometimes and this is determined at the beginning of running the emulator. Stereo panning stays after the beginning and …

I experimented with the old non-Steam Megaman X4 Windows 9x CD-version using Windows 7 64-bit OS and had small issues first but made the game work properly in the end. There is absolutely no need to buy the new Steam version to play this game because the old one works perfectly with your new …

Hello, Lylat1an! I also made an adapter myself very recently. I made an LPT adapter for four SNES-controllers. I had issues first with europe-SNES controllers. My japan-controllers worked fine through diode-version of the LPT-adapter so I modified the adapter to have USB-power instead of diodes. …

Falcosof, sorry for the late reply, but the problem is that I am using Real MT-32 (old model) to play the midi file. I have been too busy to try to figure this thing but I am going to consult someone from midi music adventures website for this problem after I have the time. For the most part Larry3 …

Hi, I have recently added the ability to load accompanying .syx files together with midi files. So e.g. in case of Monkey Ireland 2 MT-32 midi files where the pairs are usually look like MI2_1.mid and MI2_1.syx the syx files are automatically loaded/sent before the midi file. My player also …

No there aren't any sadly. There are two versions v2.007 and v2.00B, but the difference between the two is negligible. The v2.00B added some checks for game titles like Quake and sets the driver up for protected mode to avoid certain crashes which can happen in the v2.007 driver. Otherwise they are …

Didn't notice this right away but was wondering why Doom sounds are panned weird. Then I ran Duke3D setup.exe SB Pro stereo test and unfortunately this test confirms that SB Pro emulation reverses channels with this card. My Aureal Vortex AU8810A1 PCI sound card plays SB Pro correctly. Tested also …
