I have a similar 19" lcd monitor hooked up on my p200mmx and it does not have any scaling options (Samsung SyncMaster 931BF) , it only has the samsung image enhancement stuff that I have turned off.... other than that I get the same results as Mau1wurf1977's monitor as far as I can see

I have 2 similar systems with a pentium mmx and once I installed riva128(zx) cards I never looked back. Keen games are fine, scrolling is awesome. Fast and VBE3.0 out of the box 😀

I've seen the amibay thread just now and realized it was you that wanted that LAPC-I :) You've made an excellent choice , not only you get 100% mt-32 compatibility but you also get the extra SFX that the card has (some games play certain sfx only from it, ulitma underworld 1 has footsteps, clouds of …

First you will need some real roland mpu (or equivalent that supports said intelligent mode) , I would really suggest you either get a LAPC-I (hitting 2 birds with one stone - mpu+mt32 - but it's pricey) or a SCC-1 or MPU-401AT + MT-100/MT-32/CM-32L/CM-64/CM-500 ... The SCC-1 combo is somewhat …

I stand corrected. I was always under the impression that the CM-32P is at least GM compatible... thanks 5u3 for the clarification!

well the CM-32P "emulates" the MT-32 , you can read and hear more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roland_SC-55

If you are looking for MT32 compatibility you should really get a MT32 or a CM-32L or a CM-64 IMHO Unless I am wrong SC-7 is a normal General Midi device and SC-55 has GM and Roland GS modes... neither sound the same as a Roland LA synth like the mt-32 and it's siblings.

you need a joyport->midi adapter so you can connect the awe64 and the external module , see here: external mpu401 and mt32: confused

The only roland ISA card that will give you digital audio is the RAP-10 (digital + midi + you get an mpu for external devices) but it requires specific hardware support , not a great solution for gaming...
Re: A question about roland cm-32p...

If you get a scc-1 it will just take an irq+address for midi, there is no "sound" capabilities on it, only midi. I have used a SCC-1 with various sb cards, from SB1.5 to SB16 , you just disable or alter the address of the SB MPU to something less standard and you give #330 to the roland card... and …

I blame luck (in finding white stuff) , the flash when you take a pic (that makes things look brighter) and retrobrite treatment (http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com) 😁
Re: A question about roland cm-32p...
Posted on 2012-05-29, 16:59
basically you are correct, the optimal solution would be a SCC-1 or a MPU401-AT card ... I even used my LAPC-I for connecting an external module... even a RAP-10 would work if I am not mistaken... I am under the impression though that the AWE64 mpu is fine for games, I am sure someone here will …

get whatever card you like, if it works in win7 it will work in dosbox (windows sees it as another (windows)application that uses sound, there is no special requirements of drivers) @Zup: creative cards are just fine, if one is building a new computer with an ancient card like the live/audigy (the …
