I tried OUT in QBasic, it didn't work. so I moved on to Borland C++ 3.1, and after I finally remembered that inp and oup were in conio.h, I was able to compile this main function, but it still doesn't work (the program runs, but is totally silent. I've tested midi output with other programs like …

yeah, I think I'm gonna go with at least C, a naive attempt in QBasic failed, but I forgot 100% of whatever qbasic knowledge I had 30 years ago.

shot in the dark here, but with this very well made spec sheet: https://docs.dream.fr/pdf/Serie2000/SAM_Datasheets/SAM2695.pdf does anyone have any remote experience at programming C in DOS so that I could send some bytes at a specific address? I'm not against using asm, but that adds a bit of an …

In general good to hear ... How much memory is your networking setup taking? NetDrive should only be using about 6KB, and a packet driver usually is between 5 and 10KB. I checked it out, I can get up to 613KB conventional memory ......... if I unload my packet driver which was enabled to get the …

Gave it another go with the new versions (still had December ones for server and client) and I tried Arsenal's Image Mounter, to boot! Success all around. Since my first try last month, I upgraded my win10 PC (3rd gen Intel) to a 13th gen Intel Win11 PC. Arsenal's Image Mounter mounted my December's …

I don't see any sort of "change media" support like this coming soon; it's just too risky for the data. I'm also wondering if there's any obscure "switcher" TSR that exists out there, kind of like there was in the Macintosh pre-System 7 days when precursor multitasking (and ultimately bugging for …

Good to know in a time of need, but the reality is that somehow, I need to do the equivalent of mounting/unmounting .ISO files with SHSUCDX - if there was a custom TSR tool to let you do it without breaking the game's runtime...

Have you checked to see if there's overlap between the disc contents? The entire game from GoG is only 2.13GB when installed. There is an overlap. Those files are what get installed into a regular hard disk partition. However, CD-based games are strict in various ways, and here is no exception. The …

I just gave a thought to the 7 CD Phantasmagoria, which needs some severe disk swapping during gameplay. Due to the 2gb limit, my first thought is that it'd be impossible to go beyond 3 mounted CDs at a time roughly using a netdrive. Then I tried the following: -(from modern PC) Put CD1 iso into a . …

I'm grateful for this great new utility! I tried it with a use case close to heart - using it to get access to cdrom iso images through a network drive. I assigned a netdrive to a .dsk containing a bunch of iso files, then used SHSUCDX to mount it to yet another virtual drive and played a fmv heavy …

I still occasionally try to extend and improve my Google Sheets notes on music compatbility. Sometimes, the default 800 MHz (cpu divider by '1' aka no division) is too fast for MIDI signals, especially for the MT-32 era right at the start of VGA or sligthly before in the 88-90ish era, so you gotta …

7th Guest This one is tricky because you need to CD swap near the end of the game and under win98se, alt-tabbing out of the game will lock you out. I perservered and found a convoluted solution to do it, I documented everything under this Tinker Different forum post. But it's doable! I felt great …

Good job if you find a Sound Blaster MIDI kit. It's basically what I fabricated "homemade" using the schematics I linked.

Hi Everyone! It is my first message here and i was able to snacht the last weeCee on ebay (by mere luck i could say!) i tried to read all the pages in this super cool thread (so full of knowledge,passion and so on) and i would like to ask you 2/3 questions about the gameport on the weecee: - i have …

I'm having an interesting problem I'm wondering if is also a problem on the weeCee as well - Assuming a stock system without a wavetable card installed, try booting up the talkie version of Beneath A Steel Sky... assuming you have a way to mount an ISO under DOS. I've noticed the CS4237B won't do …

Investigating a static related behavior with my weeCee: sometimes, they'll get under a mode where no matter what, there's some heavy static glitch sound occuring over its lone audio out port. Doesn't matter if I send it to an independant set of roland speakers, or send it to a Pluguable usb mic in …

Dunno if anyone ever bothered to get real field data on this but I held a hook probe manually to the F1 + side to inject 5.00 V directly into the weeCee to see how much current was drawn. If I want to do more tests, I'll have to solder a temp wire. Ofc the ground side can be clipped in a number of …
