From what I've read people say it does, that its embed into the CT1747 microchip. Plus the chip it self has an OPL logo on it. Well, replacing all DACs wouldn't hurt 😀 Sounds like a fun project, and not so complex.

I read more about this, and i understood what you said. Turning off other things to reduce noise and interference. I also removed some components from this computer i thought i don't need. I used LINE OUT to record and maximized the volume. Here is an recording: Jam777 - Evangelion Opening I have …

Well, first of all, how does it work. Limits of the chip, and what are driver limits? Instrument limits are what I'm mostly interested in.

I installed an Terratec WaveSystem SCW001/2 onto my SB2230 sound card and installed DOS/WIN311 drivers. I played some of my MIDI files and they all sounded strange. At first i didn't notice it was actually OPL not MIDI daughterboard and wondered what the heck is happening, it sounds just like opl! …

The same place I got my sc-88 from has a Yamaha MU80 for 5580 yen. Any real point in owning one for retrogaming? I hear FF7 has XG sound, but is that it? Keeping an eye out for an MT32/CM64L etc, but I think they are too old for the place (a music instrument store) and maybe munt is good enough …

I made before power transformers and electronic circuits that increase and decrease voltage. I also have books on power supplies, power amplifiers and schematics on many other things that fit in the area of increasing and decreasing voltage/current and stabilization. I do not find it to be complex …

How rare are new AT power supplies and how much would one cost? I found an pretty cheap unused Seventeam PSU ST-230WHF, which even has schematics online: Clickity 5V / 16A 12V / 12V -5V / 0.3A -12V / 0.5A By your opinion is it better to buy an used one or make one? I personally think investing a few …

I wanted also to use such a cooler, but the price of 5 euro + shipping was insane for me. For that price i could have gotten Sanyo coolers.
