Re: Games with Adlib as an option for sound effects

Posted on 2022-02-04, 12:36

in DOS
I think this discussion is conflating two distinct questions here: Games that supported the Adlib FM synthesizer for non-sampled sound effects Games that supported the Adlib FM synthesizer for sampled audio playback (using the special tricks that Cyberdyne referred to, the same way as certain MOD …

Yeah, here it is , I believe. (It's an FTP link, so it might not directly download in newer browsers.) Quoting the relevant part: QUESTION : Mega-Em gives me a warning saying I have a pre 3.xx UltraSound board and Roland emulation will not work with most protected mode software. What gives? ANSWER : …

You get people taking about how bad EV batteries are for the enviroment or the EV themselves. But quote data from 20 years ago when EVs only went 100 miles and even then there was still a breakeven point where they became equals to their gas counterparts often at many miles though, but still a …

The much harder problem is that you cannot produce the noise channel output on any of the FM chips. You can produce few pitches of white noise but nothing like the PSG chips can with their much more capable noise channels. Ah, so if I understand correctly, the noise generators on CMS allowed for …

Solar adds to the expense , both in setting it up and choosing to source your power from "Green" options. It's more expensive. I can't speak to government incentives, but given the government we have here I'm sure they are broken too. I know they have diverted funds that normally went for …

The initial cost of EVs more than makes up for any savings in those areas. I wouldn't be too sure of that, actually. ICE maintenance costs add up more quickly than one might think, especially when you consider repairs, which are needed much more often than with EVs, simply because the latter have …

The reason I ask is because electric vehicles are said to be much heavier then gas cars. Hence they're prone to wear tires out faster. Even if tires were to wear out faster on EVs (and I couldn't find any clear-cut answers about that on-line), you'd still end up paying much less on maintenance. For …

Good point. And it's not like you can salvage something like that from an old satellite or something. There's usually not much left after they deorbit. :grin: It would have to be NOS, indeed. But we're talking about parts that were made in an expensive, highly specialized process. Those things …
