The EMU8K for MIDI emulation is more useful on Windows 9x environment than DOS since it works with protected mode games and you can use SF2 soundfonts. Gmlbv286, you are one of the first who learned this is no longer true...If SF2 soundfonts are so important than most likely I could implement that …

he fell for the "you have to initialize the AWE hardware with AWEUTIL /S" therefore AWEUTIL is loaded meme He also thought that SoftMPU could work with AWEUTIL . XD My first impression from SoftMPU (1.91) is too bad -- it is not compatible with the AWEUTIL (when loaded as TSR with /EM:xxx) - the …

Here is my preliminary build of SoftMPU that under QEMM (QEMM V9 tested only, EMM386 fails with AWEUTIL /EM:xxx but otherwise is usable to some extent) supports separate I/O ports for virtual and physical MPU-401's thus allowing usage of AWEUTIL /EM:xxx with your favorite soundbanks . Apart from …

Guys! When I was a teenager I was not interested in playing these games but rather in low level system programming. Therefore I am neither experienced in sound cards nor in games' setups ( I am learning now). But I found that this project does not make sense! Why ? Because it seems that these games …

And the sound is exactly the same as with AWEUTIL. That is only true if you use the SYNTHGM.SBK file provided by creative. As I said previously, that file is so small because it simply maps the instrument patches to existing samples in the card's ROM. If you load a real soundfont in its place, you …

Work in progress (when time permits). This is just an interesting fact. When using IRQ 5 the DMX sound engine (which is used by DOOMs) is very stable (under clean DOS - no time for memory managers tests right now). The whole concept is meant to be changed. By the way the most available way to change …

For DOOM I discovered that if your AWE card is set to any other IRQ other than IRQ 5, this leads to instability. Still investigating. I guess any DMX sound engine game should be stable like this. Doesn't make any sense, DOOM (or any game that uses the DMX sound engine) should run stable regardless …

How do you load this bank with AWEUTIL? Are you sure you are not working under Windows? Renamed the bank to SYNTHGM.SBK and loaded it with the option /EM:GM. Not running Windows, modified MSDOS.SYS to boot directly into DOS. Does it sound differently that Creative's soundbanks? The DOOM 1 and 2 …

My first impression from SoftMPU (1.91) is too bad -- it is not compatible with the AWEUTIL (when loaded as TSR with /EM:xxx) - the Creative's semi-software MIDI emulator for AWE sound blasters under DOS.

Question: has anybody tried using SoftMPU with the 386MAX memory manager? And if so, did it work? 386MAX is supposed to be compatible with the I/O port trapping API of Microsoft EMM386. I'm asking this, since 386MAX might eventually be made open source, and bundled with FreeDOS. See https:// …
