My dad got me the Ultimate DOOM CD copy, you know back when CD games consisted of... alot of wasted space. My mother got incredibly mad and argued with my father even cried to tears over me playing it, I was still a toddler going to kindergarten. Only thing I never liked about it and Wolfenstein 3-D …

So I guess inverting the waveform and phasing it just a little bit will defeat the system too?

You need to reset all the channels to Patch 0 MSB 0 LSB 0 before playing a different song and also turn off whatever note's are currently playing as well, for MIDI files that are expected to loop usually the author will put such reset commands at the end or begining of the song. If that is not the …

Sounds like the same problem I'm having. If you're using Winamp to play back your MIDI files do NOT use Immediate mode playback, use Streamed mode and this will no longer happen. Another thing to do is send your reset commands before playing back a different song so that all your channels are set to …

Tom toms sound really weird now. The stuck note still happens in ROCKIT.MID Overall I don't notice anything really irritating yet on this new emulation core. EDIT: Meant to say "tom tom" not kick drum...

It wouldn't surprise me that Windows 8.1 destroyed DirectMusic all the way, it IS a deprecated interface (because microsoft is stupid like that) It works fine for me, worked fine for me even in 32-bit XP.

Well now it has reached the point where I can't even finish watching something I left off because it STARTS AT THE BEGINNING WHEN I TRY TO SEEK BACK WHERE I LEFT OFF... Aren't there third party players that aren't crap for YouTube or is such a thing not "legally" possible?

I need to get that card working again so I can try framegrabbing it on some key points... though I really wonder just what the limit to shader languages and the pipeline itself really is. Being able to have dithering like that again on 16-bbp games would be just simply amazing. I hate this banding …

If I'm reading this right... You went from using 3 textures and 2286 tris down to just 1 and 1900 tris? That's a really good model too by the way. For some reason it made me think of OpenArena. On topic of the filter shader though... the dithering you mean by this right?: http://en.wikipedia.org/ …

Yes but the reverb is not programmable. It's hardcoded completely from what I can understand from my experiments with it in the past. A good example of the "reverb" is Hitman Codename 47. Another example is open up Winamp, use DirectMusic for MIDI file playback and tick "Reverb" in the directmusic …
