Re: Anyone interested in recordings of different sound cards? I've got some here for you.

Here's that sound byte I said I was going to record of my OPTi 82C929A's digital sound in X-Wing attached to the post. I only mashed together a few digital sounds without any FM Synthesis unless there's FM Synthesis mixed in with the digital sound. Cool if you find some time could you record the …

And how exactly am I supposed to use a Game port controller with an MIDI device plugged into the Game port? Did I miss something? They come in versions with joystick support! Basically allowing you to connect a joystick AND a midi device. I got one here but don't have a picture. But it's quite …

Yea my recent W98SE adventures didn't go to well. I tested two Voodoo 2 cards (not both at the same time) and a lot of demos crashed and things like that LOL I found this card: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Turtle-Beach-TB400-3355-01-PCI-Sound-Card-00007005-/220448970074?pt=UK_Computing_ComputerComponents_ …

The DOS drivers had poor OPL emulation Yes that's true! The MIDI support provided by the DOS drivers used mediocre Ensoniq 2/4/8MB .ECW "wavesets" instead of soundfonts While that's true IMO they really aren't THAT bad :-) not sure if external synth via gameport is possible in DOS, as I don't …

Ok now we are on the same page LOL The thing is that the driver setting I discovered disables the output filter on the SBP 2.0. And just like you describe it opens up all these high frequencies, the sound is a lot "brighter" so to speak. So when you say you still find it muffled, I scratch my head …

Creative PCI cards all use rebranded Ensoniq drivers for DOS support as far as I know. Avoid IMO. How come? I had excellent results with later DOS Games (Doom and later)... SB16 + GM worked very well. Older games often crashed though, but most late DOS Games I tried worked just fine. You also need …

Could you please make a recording of "Fate of Atlantis". I find it much easier to hear the differences... I'm quite surprised by your feedback. To me the results with the disabled filter are nothing short of amazing. It blows the other cards out of the water and is sooo close to the DOSBox version. …

The hanging note bug should only occur when also using the digital part of your sound card, but I haven't tested this yet. Using another card for the digital part should fix your issue. E.g. using an AWE64 with FM disabled and your SB 16 set to other resources...

Keropi has such an upgrade chip in his 386SX machine. SX 20 upgraded to 40 MHz. Still slow because of the bus limitation of SX. But if you look at our 3bench database you can see that nothing beats the AMD 386DX 40. Aitotat has a 386/486 hybrid board with VLB and this is the fastest 386 machine in …
