Found a bug in this driver. When you use HDMI to connect to a TV the AMD drivers have a slider to set the overscan to 0. With this driver the setting gets ignored after a reboot and you have to move the slider to the left and then back to zero to work again. Rolling back to 12.4 and everything works …

Oh and this is also intersting: Monkey Island 2 for example has quite a few missing sound effects in the Roland version. The game felt a lot less lively compared to my memories. Now with ScummVM you can fix this, listen to your real MT-32 hooked up and the missing sounds are played as if you have a …

The biggest plus about the SB16 is that basically it will produce fairly decent sound and music for every game, be it ancient games or brand new ones and many will be in Stereo. Once you research past this and want the "best" then you will get to a point of needing certain cards for certain games …

All my videos are unscripted. Main reason is becaue it is a hobby for me and if you want to make it appear more professional I would have to invest heaps more time and money (for some more advanced capturing and authoring software). Gemini000 will know all about this :) I usually just throw it …

I really like these RAW shows. They give you more time to absorb the moment.Yes other shows are packed with information but often I struggle to decide if I should listen to the comments or watch the video. Especially confusing if they cover different topics. But that's just me 😀

The lack of SB Pro compatibility is much less of an issue. It always gets mentioned in discussions but when you really look at the issue it is not an issue. Firstly FM music is fine so the issue only applies to Stereo digital effects. And there are almost no games that support the SB Pro and do not …

I also have two of these Logitech pads (I think the same version as HunterZ) and I agree with the d-pad. In shooting games I often die because of control issues. I am now thinking of getting a proper arcade stick or something like that. They are quite decent though so maybe its me. The Mega Drive …

The good thing is that Creative cards are cheap and plentiful. Might sound harsh but it might be easier to just a few new ones 😀

For windows drivers maybe you just point the device manager to the drivers. Often you don't need an installer in this case.

No need to remap keyboard keys. A standard USB gamepad or joypad is all you need. I use BSNES (more accurate vs. ZSNES), Mame, Fusion, WinVice and they all work with USB input devices.

There is a lot more involved to the GUS emulation going. You need drivers in the ULTRASND directory. There are some guides somewhere on the Internet as to how to get this all done.

Origin games always benefited from SMARTDRV. I remember a reviewer complaining about the Installation time of Wing Commander 2 on his 386 machine. With SMARTDRV it only takes a fraction of that time.
