[...] I'm sorry to annoy everyone with yet another tiny question, especially one that's probably in the docs somewhere, but how do I set the port when I call ORPHINIT? [...] all you have to do is go to this section: ; This controls the on-chip Crystal MPU-401-compatible UART. ; This tool has NO …

in an ideal world muting wavetable like Shponglefan mentions would work - but games like to mess and/or reset mixer settings so the best bet is to create a dual-u setup by assigning WT HEADER to CSMPU using the jumper block and enable Crystal MPU with orphinit at port 300 Yes, this sounds exactly …

I picked up an MP32L because I wanted to add some Roland magic to my setup (LGR is a helluva drug...) and connected it via the MIDI Out on the back of the Orpheus II. Got it all hooked up, and it's working, but it sounds both the MT-32 and the onboard wavetable (the one with the black PCB that came …

Is there a foolproof DOS game you folks use for testing your GUS sound configuration? By "foolproof", I mean it works out of the box without any patching, manual configuration, etc. You just enter the game's SETUP program, pick "Gravis Ultrasound", and go. [...] DOOM pretty much works out of the …

Is there a foolproof DOS game you folks use for testing your GUS sound configuration? By "foolproof", I mean it works out of the box without any patching, manual configuration, etc. You just enter the game's SETUP program, pick "Gravis Ultrasound", and go. I'm using the preinstalled Gravis package …

I managed to confuse nView enough to clear out my settings. I unplugged my monitor from the VGA out on my video card and my BVM from the s-video, and then plugged in the same monitor to the DVI out on the video card. nView cleared my settings, and I was able to restore everything to something …

Hey, everyone. I'm using a Windows 98 PC with a Ti 4600. I have a Sony BVM with support for progressive resolutions, and was playing around with nView to see if I could clone the output to both my VGA monitor and the BVM. Long story short, I ended up selecting the DualView mode to output to my …

Perhaps it has to do with the PIII 1 GHz CPU? For earlier DOS Glide games where the API is integrated into the executable, it is too fast that causes problems. That distorted image also occurs when using the original Voodoo Graphics card on such fast computer regardless of which Glide game is being …

Hi, everyone. I just finished a playthrough of the DOS + 3Dfx version of Tomb Raider on my retro build, which is a circa 98/2000 machine that I added a MS-DOS 6.22 partition to for good measure. I have the build details at the end of the post, in case they're relevant. At the advice of the Voodoo 2 …

Resurrecting this long-forgotten thread since the OP and I have the same goal in mind: running MDK on Windows 98 SE with the Microsoft Force Feedback Pro. I have the aforementioned joystick, a retail MDK CD, and a W98SE PC with a gameport provided via an Audigy 2 ZS. I found the FF patch that …

I think I'm in pretty good shape now. I adopted @crvs' interior decorating skills and moved my sound card to PCI 5, forced IRQ 10 for it in the BIOS, and DOS 6.22 booted up without a hitch. I heard glorious, glorious sound in Doom and OMF without issue. After adding back my Voodoo 2s and my PCI …

Motherboard is an Asus P3B-F, which is the 440BX chipset I have the same MB, rev 1.03 LOL You should definitely try my package for DOS "as is". Install Audigy2 into the 5th PCI slot (counting from processor) and assign to it IRQ 10 in BIOS, I believe all should just work. Well, hot damn!! https:// …

I'm using the StarTech adapter for my 98SE/XP build. It randomly won't get detected during POST, but if it makes it that far, it runs fine in Windows. Haven't narrowed down if the POST issue is the fault of the drive, the adapter, or the motherboard, so I'm not sure if that's enough reason to write …

Image quality comparison between the Datapath VisionRGB-E1S and the Datapath VisionRGB-PRO2. Captured at 640 x 480 from a Matrox G400 with a normal-quality VGA cable using the VCS software. Do you have a link to the cable you're using? I have an E1S and want to capture from VGA, but most of the …

Motherboard is an Asus P3B-F, which is the 440BX chipset. I had the sound card in a different slot originally, but my BIOS seems to give PCI 1 and 2 a dedicated IRQ, while 3/6 and 4/5 share IRQs, so I moved the sound card to PCI 2. I also disabled the serial and parallel ports, but had to leave USB …

Thank to both of you for your replies. I wiped my Windows 98 partition and reinstalled everything from scratch, following Joseph's instructions in the OP to the letter. At least in Device Manager, I got the end result I wanted - including the dual SB16 emulation devices, one of which has a conflict …

Thanks for posting such a detailed guide. I'm trying to see if it's feasible to use the Audigy 2 in Pure DOS using AUDIGY12.EXE, and I've been splicing tips and hints from different posts, but it's really helpful to have all the info in one place. Currently, AUDIGY12.EXE hangs after telling me that …
