Re: Sango Fighter

I first played this game on my old, trusty Packard Legend 2000 (R.I.P. 1992-1999) It was a 486SX @ 25 MHz, and I don't recall any problems, vid (video?) or otherwise. Sure, it wasn't fast and all, but that's because the game requires a 486DX 33 MHz or above, I think. Well, I tried the game without …

I don't know if anyone ever played or knows this game, but it was a great hand-to-hand combat game just like Street Fighter or Mortal Kombat. Anyway, I'm having trouble getting this one to work properly. When I run in Win98SE, it seems to be working, the intro and all is fine, once I start the game …

I believe the recorder plugin for VDMSound will save MIDI files that are sent to the MPU-401 interface. What version/edition of VDMSound are you referring to? the original one that was designed for WinNT/2000/XP, the Win98 ALPHA, or both? Since I'm running Win98SE my only option is the unstable …

Now, that DOSBox 0.61 has just been released, in the new README file in the FAQ section I read this: Q: What sound hardware does DosBox presently emulate? ...DosBox provides Soundblaster Pro level 8-bit stereo sound. I never knew this before, although, I certainly noticed that the quality of the …

How to Rip/Obtain MIDI music from games?

I'm wondering if there is a way to obtain music from MIDI-based games, that is, those games (e.g. Monkey Island 1-2, most LucasArts, Apogee, Microprose, ID Software, Sierra, Interplay, etc. games from 1990s until whenever MIDI was no longer used in games.) Perhaps, there is some application/ program …

I tried D=64,128, & 256, yet I still can't play Legend of Kyrandia properly having that same problem I mentioned before.

Something is wrong with your system if you can't use B000-B7FF or E000-EFFF. Evidently, I assume that by 'system' you are refering to my computer (i.e internally: the hardware) which could be an issue entirely separate from Windows 98, correct? "Something" is just way too vague for me to comprehend …

I've never tried SoundFX 2000 (because when I downloaded the zip file Winzip & WinRAR said it was corrupt! also it ONLY works on Win2K, XP, & NT4, I believe, while I have Win98SE.), so I would'nt know what you mean.

Well, I got PoP to work in windows, but i had to disable the sound, at least the music works! I don't understand how that I=B000-B7FF could cause the game to freeze with sound enabled. As for Kyrandia, NO such luck. Disabled sound/music yet the game still freezes after I quit from it, and i bet it …

I know the newest version of DOSBox emulates SB PRO 2.0, but can it let a game's sound+music be heard from the computer's sound card? Because as anyone who has SOME SoundBlaster/Adlib-compatible devices, they would notice the acute differences between the FM synthesis of their soundcards from the FM …

Bottom Line: It worked! That 'code' DID give me EMS, but I first had to delete that I=B000-B7FF command. I remember that on my 'ol 486ses CONFIG.SYS file. I was told that it disabled the use of Monochrome region of the Video card, meaning that games that run in Black&White ( Yep, that's about ZERO.) …

An apt suggestion, I just tried this program, and I must say that I was pretty impressed. I especially liked how it automatically reverted to my orginal display mode.

Photo retouching programs and/or bitmaps/videos just suxx with 256c. Yeah, that's the MAJOR problem with having to go to 256c.

I have Pirates! GOLD for Windows and (as it states in the README) it simply refuses to work under any display mode other than 16 or 256 colors. Running Win98 SE, setting the display to 256 colors is obviously a drawback. I was thinking that there's gotta be someway to fool PGWIN so it'll work …
