I am not familiar with that kind of a setup, but in a real PC with OPL-SAx, originally you get sound effects, but only few of them, but with these files, you get all sounds.

Yes, my work computer does not allow to install new software, but i got a portable dosbox, and portable Duke2Edit, but no portable Camoto, so i e-mailed my project files to myself, and if i have time in home, then i will try to repack NUKEM2.CMP.

Do any other game have that same ADPCM (2-8) (3-8) sound output issue?

Even if you can install DOS to Mac Mini, you sit in silence, or are you deaf. Yo can not even install LPT covox.

Well i am a fan on Duke Nukem 2, and i do have 4xOPL-SA3 (3 of them with wavetable headers, and they do not have a hanging note bug) based sound cards, so i just started doing things.

I ask and I answer, i used Blaster Master 6.2, it is a dos sound program. Only it can not open 3 files, i think because they are too small, but those files are not compressed, Because Audacity does open them, and plays them. These files are SB_17.MNI SB_19.MNI and SB_22.MNI. All else i converted and …

SB_x.MNI files are standard Sound Blaster VOC files, and few of them are compressed with Sound Blaster 8-2 or 8-3 ADPCM codec, but Duke Nukem 2 can play 8-4 ADPCM and uncompressed PCM files also. So you just have to convert them, and then leave those converted files in Duke Nukem 2 directory, and it …

I extracted the SB_x.MNI files from NUKEM2.CMP. But now i need a comverter that can convert Sound Blaster ADPCM VOC files to Uncompressed PCM VOC files. Can somebody help me. This conversion should fix OPL-SAx and other Clone card issues. Or maybe someone has allready done such a conversion.

Yes, it needs a 8bit isa slot, all XT class computers and almost all 286 and 386 class computers have it, and even some 486 motherboards, but this card is only useful for XT and maybe 286 class computers, and no VGA, but you can connect a NTSC aware SCART RGB, or composite TV or monitor to it.

Found a cheap(-ish) IBM PS/2 model 30 (8530) motherboard, with 286/10 CPU. Unfortunately it doesn't include anything else, especially not the ISA riser board. What are the odds that I'll find one of those somewhere? OTOH it has on-board MCGA video . This is my first foray into non-PC x86 hardware. …

Tseng Cards are only good, if you have a ISA based 386 or 486. And then only the speed is better. So yo want to play all older EGA and VGA games, go with the S3. If you want to play Doom, buy a Pentium 😉 Do not mess around with Tseng. And matrox shines only in high resolutions.
