I subscribe what Beegle wrote, so thanks Fagear and everyone else who contributed to the project. I just wish we achive the same level of success with the Covox Sound Master Project. EDIT …

Battlefield emphasizes on control of vehicles in a wide expansive map and Call of Duty emphasizes on close quarters combat and buttons that call vehicles to do your killing for you I wouldn't call Battlfield maps wide or expansive but anyway... For me Call of Duty and Battlefield are pretty much …

I'm still waiting for 6581's to arrive. One is apparently a pull from a C64 and the other i ordered from Hong Kong. Which was stupid as a day later i read an article about SID's coming from China are all defective.

Personally i don't give a crap. I don't play these kiddy FPS'es, and everyone can play a game using the tactics they want. Trolling and screwing with everybody else's game i do have a problem. Pulling this kind of stuff in the ARMA series is just gonna get you f**cked up. You can snipe from 1 mile …

Seriously you people consider synthetic benchmarks as good performance measure? That's no way indication of real world performance, specially if said bechmarks were compiled with Intel compilers. Man Intel really did a great job making its micro-architecture look not so bad.

So we have established that shock__ brought up AWE, not me. I proceeded to explain that adding opl3 is something COMPLETELY different from adding EMU8K. opl3 is much cheaper and easier to add, and is also much more important in terms of software support. Opl3 makes sense and is a realistic request. …

Adlib/SB/SBPro seem like an obvious choice. These cards predate the GUS, and there's a lot of software that supports these cards, but does not support GUS. SB16 is somewhat debatable... although it is more or less from the same era as GUS, so most software supporting SB16 will also support GUS. …

If you have an MU-100r i think there's no point in getting more GM gear, unless you are a purist. You can still also use the MIDI IN with a gameport/midi cable like Keropi said. SoftMPU is not really needed unless you need intelligent MPU-401 to drive an MT-32 or CM-32L. For GM games MPU-401UART is …

If gal is not registred it's possible to read it, even if it's protected . This guy did it, and did it with a PAL. Problem is these cards are extremely rare. AFAIK, only 2 are known to exist. One is from Yvan who is trying his best to help us, other is some dude from Idaho that Cloudschatze has …

As for tandy, I thought many games expect jr/tandy video, sound, and memory mapping to work properly, much more of a pita. According to Cloudschatze the majority of games from large publishers he tested provided command-line switches for Tandy Sound + EGA/VGA. What we would need is someone well …

Thing is if you add SB Pro compatibility people will ask for SB16 support, if you add SB16 support folks will ask for AWE64 support and so on - there's not exactly an universal solution, except for adding the card of one's choice alongside the possible GUS clone/compatible. You could even see it in …

For SB Pro compatibility the best would be an OPL3-SA chip. Since i love GUS'es and YMF cards this would save me an ISA slot.

The GF1 and it's companion chip GF1D1 seem to be a lot harder to obtain and has the sample rate drop issue. Wouldn't be a good start. Going with the Interwave chip one could also add a SIMM-72 socket for easy 16MB RAM expansion. I don't know about GF1D1 but GF1 PLCC's seem to be readily available …
