in DOS
A few DOS games spring to mind: WarCraft II / Beyond the Dark Portal Die Höhlenwelt Saga Inherit the Earth (later versions) Settlers II TFX EF2000 Secret of Monkey Island ^^ also: 'Fat Al Racing'? :P edit: by the way, I have both Dune and Lands of Lore on CD, and while Dune has the complementary …

Re: Tips for properly 'boxing up' Conquests of Camelot?

in DOS
That's why I love these forums, Thanks! :) That did seem like the most promising method but even then I couldn't get everything to fit comfortably. Gave it another go, opposing corners like you said (went clockwise before), *and* the 3.5" ones 'sideways', two top, two bottom, and now everything fits …

Tips for properly 'boxing up' Conquests of Camelot?

Posted on 2016-01-08, 23:37

in DOS
So ... is there a technique to cramming all the contents of Conquests of Camelot into the game box? Liber ex Doctrina, Map, '88 catalog, 10 floppies, 4 diskettes, misc inserts... just pieced a complete set together but can't for the life of me fit all that stuff in the box... any pro-tips from …

Re: Gateway 2 (and others) MT-32 MIDI tempo off?

Awesome. For completeness sake I've attached recordings of the extracted .MIDs, played using GSPLAY in the exact same DOSBox environment the games were run in. GSPLAY plays them back at their correct (faster) speeds, same for Eric the Unready, which I can confirm has the same issue of being too slow …

Thanks. Just did, this is Phil's recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3NhTcpWcf4 and here is mine: gw.wma The difference is less audible here, but Phil's music starts ~6s into the video, and when I stopped my recording at 2:08 they were almost synched up. That means my recording is ~5% slower …

Re: Gateway 2 (and others) MT-32 MIDI tempo off?

That would be my first time compiling from SVN (or anything at all), but I would not mind looking in to this in the weekend. :) Would that mean all games using the conductor would be slightly off, and is there even an objectively 'correct' speed? I assume the current value wasn't picked arbitrarily? …

Gateway 2 (and others) MT-32 MIDI tempo off?

Posted on 2016-01-01, 12:45

If I compare Phil's excellent recording of Gateway 2: Homeworld on actual hardware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHocdA542UI to my attached recording on my actual MT-32 (old type), but via DOSBox, it seems mine is playing a bit too slow, most noticeable on the timpani rolls. Phil's recording …

Windows 3.11 and dedicated MIDI hardware

Posted on 2015-12-12, 15:08

Not entirely sure where to post this as it's likely more a general Windows 3.1 than a DOSBox question, but does anyone know if it is possible to send MIDI directly to a GM hardware module like a Sound Canvas to get 'better' MIDI in Windows 3.11? I followed Dominus' Windows 3.11 installation guide, …
