Anyone remember those semi-organised pirating operations that used to exist? A printed spreadsheet of games would be passed around for you to fill out and you'd send it off to the entrepreneurial pirate, and some time later a semi-official looking stack of floppies would appear with the relevant …

YMF71x wavetable volume

Posted on 2021-05-19, 00:11

I recently switch the wavetable daughter-board on my OPLSAx YMF718 based card to an NEC XR385, and those bad boys are loud. I'm using SETUPSA to control the mixer and the wavetable volume is controlled by the 'Aux 2' sliders under the WSS mixer settings. This works fine for some games - Dune 2, …

some years ago i bought 'soldier of fortune 2' cheaply and never played it Yes it's a good looking game that - controversial back in the day because you could blow people's limbs off 😁Forced stealth with seemingly arbitrary rules around if you've been spotted or not always turns me off but I did …

I've been trying to beat 'Pete Sampras Tennis '97' here - this is the PC version of Sampras Extreme Tennis on the PS1 which is a favourite of mine. I didn't know there was a PC version until recently-ish but it's pretty good - SVGA so much sharper looking than the PS1 version and sounds great via …

Windows 98 recognised the serial mouse fine so just for fun I decided to install the 'MouseWare' that came with my Logitech Pilot mouse and now of course the whole thing's gone to hell in a hand-basket - '98 is crawling along and looks to have hung. Damn old rigs. EDIT: OK got that issue sorted ( …

Perhaps it is some kind of IRQ problem? I'm not sure how you would go about diagnosing it, though. Yeah not sure - there's nothing in the BIOS which mentions resources for the PS2 port. You can of course select IRQ, etc for the serial ports but I've just left it on 'auto' and it seems to work OK - …

Sorry @keropi I missed your post - I did consider the mouse driver so tried a few, including the MS one. I know I've had issues with cutemouse on other systems - Links386 maybe? - but it seems not to be the culprit in this case. All good I can still use the KVM for monitor / keyboard and have 2 mice …

😂 yeah I have no idea where I got it, probably my dodgy friend Luke he had all of the good stuff. I worked out that you could rename some files and reverse the strip order - some would consider that cheating I suppose.

Thanks and yes my googling had turned that up - it's always mentioned in the context of running the game in NT but I tried it anyway, no change. Given switching to serial fixed 2 games I guess the PS/2 support on this motherboard is a little wonky, at least at the speed I'm running it. There's …

WSS wasn't the issue but definitely something that came to mind - I'd tested with no audio and SB Pro. The issue appears to be the PS/2 mouse - switching to a serial mouse as suggested by @Jorpho seems to have done the trick. I did consider that but I'm using a KVM setup so having a serial mouse for …

Warcraft II hanging and generally being a jerk

Hiya, I'm trying to run the original release of Warcraft II (installed from CD) on my Socket 7 machine but am getting some odd behaviour. Machine specs: - Cyrix MII PR300 (233Mhz) - Dos 7 - 64MB RAM - Ark2000 based VGA card - WSS via a YMF718 sound card - PS2 mouse and keyboard I need to use Univbe …

appiah4 wrote on 2021-05-07, 07:33: Episode 4 (Thy Flesh Consumed) is better than all 3 episodes of Doom combined imo. I'd say it is even better than Doom II and my favorite Doom experience. All these years playing DOOM 1 and 2 I don't think I've ever really tried that episode, sounds like I'd …
