Thanks! That would be great.
Aureal vortex MSDos drivers ,... set without necessarily installing
Posted on 2019-11-18, 01:01
Does anyone knows how to set the Aureal Vortex2 to work under dos?. I already have in installed in Win98 with the SB Pro drivers for DOS, but not the MSDOS drives. From PHILSCOMPUTERLAB I see that he has a set of drivers that contain the MSDOS driver set but these come packaged with the full drivers …
3dfx and ASUS V9950 Ultra GPU fan issues -need replacements but do not know the specs.

I have issues with fans in two cards, need replacements but do not know the specs. Anyone knows where can I find replacements fans for the fans of 3dfx cards and the ASUS V9950 Ultra?. The 3dfx one became too noisy, squeaks at high reps and looks like it wobbles quite a bit. One of the Asus 9950 …

That probably depends on the sound track - the patches would replace any instruments using program change 1-8 (or so the manuals seem to indicate). Some Japanese games have great orchestral pieces where they'd help - although you might then notice the difference in quality between the expansion …

For normal PC games, DR is really the only option. Now if you branch out to other systems, things get more interesting. I love using my AN with my MSX, but it requires some custom hardware. Are you able to use all 3 boards simultaneously? Is it possible to map both the -DR board and -PC board to …

Thanks, I have few modules already (list below) and I am quite familiar with the quality of each one in different games. I am on my race to increase the collection towards a Roland 8850 and reach my goal of getting a Roland Integra-7, but the for next 1~2 years I will still be sticking to the …

I am in need of some advice and guidance before I make a wrong blind purchase I recently acquired a PLG150-DR (drums) board, it is in my Yamaha MU2000(EX) unit and I am really , and I mean REALLY, happy with the drum sounds and options in PC midi games. Descent, Doom, Warcraft1 and 2, they just …
Re: Floppy Drive Cleaners...
Posted on 2018-12-22, 08:02
For Floppy drives I use the floppy cleaner like you + compressed air at a 5 cms distance minimum but not any closer. I do not use cotton swabs for two reasons (I hate them); - Using a swap implies applying some level of direct force and even if this is little I have no way to know at what point of …
Re: How to Midi Reset NEC XR385 (clone of Yamaha DB60XG)
Posted on 2018-12-16, 15:06
But, Id just stick to your MU100 personally. Does the Mu100 have "Mu Basic" mode? Basic mode will use old XG level 1 samples instead of the new set. Confirmed. It has 'MU BASIC' mode menu but as far as I can tell, either in 'Native' mode or 'Basic' mode it shows the same issue with the drums …

So you can try to select manually Channel 10 on Midiplayer's interface and set Bank MSB to 127, or you can make this automatic by opening 'Main menu-> Compatibility Settings' and check 'Fix Sfz Drum Bug (Force XG Drums)' Thank you!, That fixed it. you are gold! . FSMP is awesome, I am going to …

Cold boot is definitely NOT needed Thanks for clarifying that no reset was needed. To prevent this you need to route the game's Midi out to an application (e.g my Midiplayer) that can filter out the reset SysEx messages sent by games but this requires software Midi cables that do not work reliably …

Thanks, though what I am really trying to do is to work my way through how to reset the XG385 for games (doom, descent...). I want to know what steps to follow to reset the DB and play the games in XG and GS mode. Not that interested in just reseting it to listening to off game single midi tracks. …
Re: How to Midi Reset NEC XR385 (clone of Yamaha DB60XG)

I see, this is much better and clear info than the manual. Now, what is the right process to send the SySex message for the XG and GS reset using XGEdit or Midi-OX in Windows 98? Do I click the XG and GM buttons and then close the programs (If I leave them open I get an error that the MIDI port is …

I have a NEC XR385 WaveTable Daughter Board (clone of DB60XG) attached to the Wavetable header of a Diamond Monster MX300 (Vortex 2) PCI sound card, and I got it running on Windows 98 on a Pentium 4 PC. By default the NEC XR385 Daughter Board initializes on GM mode (TG300 I believe) but it is also …

it took me a while because it could have been a messy job on a rather expensive piece of hardware but I recently decided to fix my Voodoo5 5500 PCI , I got a new DPAK transistor soldered in and the card now works great,... so I am packing and putting away the Voodoo5 5500 AGP that I was using for …

Hi. Does anyone know of a site for MIDI music/online repository of old game MIDIs that are already compiled by Game tittle and zip packed ready to download?. I am finding several MIDI webs, all awesome stuff, but the MIDIS are often downloadable by individual songs (sometimes,..rarely by game) so I …

OK, to close on the subject. Two things were wrong. Capacitors and the Floppy drive itself Capacitors I replaced the 3 capacitors in the main board, the old ones had leaked badly and there was corrosion in near by components. I managed to scrap it all away, fortunately there was nothing irreversible …
