Re: Game box cover art vs in-game graphics
Posted on 2022-12-17, 15:14
Yes, I poorly worded it. I thought it would be cool if there was a way to play those 70s/80s games like Battlezone, Zaxxon, Moon Patrol, etc. with the same exact gameplay/engine/physics/sounds, but with graphics that were depicted on the cover art. I started watching that Liminal Spaces video, and …
Game box cover art vs in-game graphics
Posted on 2022-12-15, 23:11
The game box cover art on old pc booter games, like Battlezone, looked much better than the actual in-game graphics. Are computers fast enough now to have graphics exactly like the cover art? I want to play Battlezone with the exact same graphics like this picture Battlezone (1980) box cover art - …

Vae, the SBLive/Audigy VxD driver in Win98 crashes for me at install, unless I leave the parallel port enabled in the BIOS. Or if I leave the parallel port disabled in the BIOS, I have to disable the SB16 emulation in the driver CTMISC.INF file.

Re: List of Win9x games with surround sound support
Posted on 2022-11-22, 23:08
POP supports (generic) 3d audio and Indy has Dolby Surround, so they would be upmixed to 5.1/7.1, if the audio device was configured to do that, which soundcards that employ 3D audio usually are. On an A/V receiver, you have to select that option, to engage DSP upmixing. According to my tests …

Do you have data execution prevention enabled? You may have to exclude the app from DEP in the Windows system applet.

Yes, the Gamecube used Prologic II. That is why the Dolphin emulator utilizes the Foobar2000 FreeSurround plugin for Dolby up-mixing.
Re: Second Reality in DOLBY SURROUND
Posted on 2022-09-10, 15:13
You can listen to the surround sound without a Dolby decoder, but not in real-time, by recording the demo to an AVI file with Dosbox, and then processing the wav file with Foobar2000 to upmix the audio to surround sound. You will need to install a few Foobar2000 components: Upmix the 2 channel audio …
Re: enabling FM synth on CMI8738 pci card

I suggest reserving IRQ 5 for ISA/Legacy in the BIOS. I also could never get SFX working in MS-DOS, but FM worked in the usual suspects like Doom, Duke3d, etc.

Maybe someone else will have more success with this game. CMSS 2 should be able to extract …
Re: List of Win9x games with surround sound support

In the games you tested, do the rear speakers play music, sound effects, or both? In Unreal Tournament '99, the surround option is for sending 2-channel matrixed audio to a Dolby receiver connected to 4 or more speakers. If you disable the surround option in UT99/Deus Ex, do the rear speakers still …
Re: Mapping reverb MIDI CC on SB Live!
Posted on 2022-08-30, 11:30
SB Live will allow per-channel effects on MIDI input. Otherwise, for MIDI output from players, you can adjust the global effects. On WinXP, you could use a virtual midi cable like Loop-midi to send MIDI to the SB Live MIDI input. For Win9x, a Live drive or a card like in this post Soundblaster live! …

What else can I try to do? Maybe something needs to be corrected through PCISET.EXE? Maybe some setting is not enabled on the ITE PCIe-PCI bridge? On the other hand, why does XP use 17 interrupts, while 98 only uses 15 as the maximum possible? Could it be that the card can only work on interrupt 17 …
