What an interesting thread! Maybe you should have checked the offer before you bought an gtx980ti... I cannot imagine spending around 700$ on a video card and not having a game in mind. I think gta 5 was a very well done game and I like it alot. Currently I'm also playing xcom enemy withing and …

recently I've re-done a piece in my house, mostly adding sugar maple wood floor. I've bought some new speakers (and a 4k monitor) and today while I was doing some cleanup after the renovation I've started lmp (live module player) on a win98 with a soundblaster live and load a playlist of a high …

hehe funny, first time I hear about an EWS! according to google images this soundcard seem to have an memory upgrade socket, something like 30 or 72 pins stuff ? the point is I never see any demo or videogame asking about to use the ews

I got many pieces in my house and each of them have them own way to listen to midi music. I tend to stick to the original playback situation. Maybe this game had an cd version with redbook music, I would be happy to listen to that. But in the meantime I listen to the .mid.Do you have a piece …

Scali : I'm a big fan of Lada Kopecky who programmed a player for the emu8000 and the emu10k, it's player is a favorite of mine. There is also awemp32 for dos. I had some sbpnp32, sbawe32 and sblive and what Lada coded always succesfully determine the ram and the card type of those kind of card. I'm …

I often hear that "supermicro" chipset can support : isa, pci and vlb... but in such a bad manner that no one cares... I cares, anyone got a board of those ? I'm not aware there ever was a "supermicro" chipset. "Supermicro" the company was formed in 1993. The same year PCI was introduced. As far as …

ah wow ! silpheed v3.2 is so neat ! :) Not sure I'm a big fan of the "bullet" sound fx, the laser are ok. I think the way they did it for that kind of bullet in wing commander was working better https://youtu.be/jGovqgotjJ4?t=341. autoexecdotbat: Maybe I can do that if you provide the links to the …

my favorite is the mt32 version of the silpheed soundtrack, followed by Tandy one. Yes ! I do that too. I hook the mt32 on the sb awe/pnp32 and with some fiddling the game silpheed work with the mt32. I find it's too bad it can only use the pc speakers for sound fx :( the gameblaster came with a …

Well, it's there on jesolo's post. The Awe32 had at least 512kb of onboard RAM but the SB32 didn't. The SB32 really needed SIMMs added to the upgrade slots to work with soundfonts. For Creative and their endless model numbers this is remarkably clear cut. does that mean the sbpnp32 max out at 31256 …

Yeah you are right, it was so time consuming (actualiy it was) to load a 28mb soundfount into the memory of a emu8k. But the waveblaster was 4mb rom, that was pretty fast to load, and why not …
