Thanks for the info!! This definitely has my interest peaked even if just for an MT32 solution! I didn't mean to actually ask an X2 question, I was just trying to describe why I was considering getting an MP32L at all, but thanks for pointing out the stereo switch in the preset editor, I'd never …

So there's a myriad of midi solutions flowing right about now that have me confused about the possibilities, and I've been very happy with my Dreamblaster X2 on the wavetable header of my Yamaha OPL3 ISA card. However, I've been wanting to move that outside the card to run off the gameport as to …

It's not just the MT-32, I bought an Aureal Vortex 2 for like $50 a few months ago and now all the listed ones are north of $100.

Here's a package that can help you. For switching your X2 to MT-32 mode use 'MT32.BAT'. To switch back to GM/GS mode use 'GM.BAT'/'GS.BAT' correspondingly. https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=66257 Sorry to ping on a somewhat old post, but can these be used in batch files to change a mode …

Well, still no idea why these games can't detect the digital side of the vortex 2, but I figured out why I wasn't hearing the mpu-401 output from my Dreamblaster X2 - I had the speakers, apparently, plugged into the rear speaker connector, which still carried regular stereo output over it but did …

Hmmm, just installed my CD version of Betrayal at Krondor and it does the same thing with the MIDI music where it has no instrumentation and is all piano.

I'll have to try that later when I have some time. I've never used setmul before. Since music and most sound effects (aside from speech) seem to work with the music driver, I'm mainly interested in figuring out the instrument swapping when using midi for music though, it's just really weird.

I still get the unable to initialize message with the thunderboard driver.

The resource.cfg is fairly terse, here's how it is when configured with general midi for music and sound blaster for "speech": videoDrv = VGA320.DRV soundDrv = GENMIDI.DRV audioDrv = AUDBLAST.DRV joyDrv = NO kbdDrv = IBMKBD.DRV mouseDrv = STDMOUSE.DRV memoryDrv - ARM.DRV minHunk = 204k language = 1 …

I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but since this is exclusively an audio issue I'm having I figured here would be good. I have an Aureal Vortex 2 in a Win98 machine (440BX, P3-600Mhz) with the unofficial SP3 installed. I've had few issues with the Vortex2 and older games so far (aside from my …

So I've finished putting together a retro system that consists of the following: Abit BH6 Mobo Pentium 3 600Mhz 512MB RAM Sparkle GF2 MX400 64MB - similar to the one in this listing (the bios chip may be different): https://www.ebay.com/itm/SPARKLE-NVIDIA-GEFORCE2-MX400-64MB-AGP-SP6800M4T-/ …

Thanks both of you for the insight! Hmmm, maybe I would have been ridiculous and set everything back to default since both the voltage and fsb jumpers are set to auto (I guess the fsb would have been better controlled via the BH6 BIOS anyway). Looking around, perhaps I was stable with the bios …

Does anyone have this slotket and can tell me what the "CPU Type Selection" jumper actually does? The instructions say the two positions distinguish between either "PPGA370" or "Coppermine". Is this really just trying to distinguish between a PPGA and a FC-PGA (were all coppermines FCPGA?). If so …

Extracted mt32emu_win32drv-1.5.1-win32-amd64.zip from: https://sourceforge.net/projects/munt/files/munt/2.3.0-Updates/ to a temp directory and then ran the following from a command prompt where I extracted the archive: infinstall_x64 install -sign Drivers updated to ..
