Doom95 doesn't even use OPL. It interfaces with the MIDI Mapper which doesn't give a damn for Doom's timbres, so it can not sound the same.

Use oplrate = 49716, that'll definitely affect your cymbals (which sounds like oplrate = 44100 from your recording). Why this isn't default, I do not know. Someone here will use a YMF262-equipped device to record that segment sooner or later. If not then I will.

Hah, I assume it's just hard to find nowadays? Nowadays? More like ALWAYS! Since it's a OEM version with a "Blackmarsh" subtitle which highly suggests that it contains pak0.pak only I suppose it might be okay. What interests me about it, is that it's a earlier build of the game than the earliest …

` timedemo demo1 That usually works, 😉 though it's best to bind f1 to that command so you can bench with the console getting out of the way

Turns out one of the radar modes screw up the targeting box and crosshair. I tried a lot of things in the control panel to speed it up including turning off fog, filtering and turning on automatic mip mapping to barely anything exceeding 25fps. You're getting 40+?
