Re: Does anybody make custom .DLS banks rather than SoundFont 2's?

Fury.dls and Airfont 340.dls are some of the few public .DLS banks I know of: http://www.ronimusic.com/smp_ios_dls_files.htm

Your recordings of GM music actually sounds quite good. I have one Trident 4DWave-NX (the 7018 is based on 4DWave) card and the GM support is horrible, wrong instruments and hanging and dropping notes. I also, like lagonauta, have a SiS 630 based motherboard and it also refuses to use GM. Must be …

Still a no go for me, if I use the modified one it doesnt detect the sound card at all. The default one detects the sound card when I select D-DMA , I have to select DMA 0, I set the IRQ to either 5 or 7 when I run the test , 8-bit , 16-bit and FM works 100% , games like Wolfenstein 3d Flawless, …

Can you upload the patched version somewhere, I have been having a terrible time getting it to work for several weeks now? Here you go. Remember that it only makes any difference for systems using the VIA VT82C686A/B southbridge. I had to change the DMA mode to DDMA in the SETDUPDS utility and set …

Modified the SETUPDS utility so I'm now able to use DDMA mode on a VIA KT133E/686B platform. Used the version on Yamaha's site and modified offset AEC0 and AEC1 from 96 05 to 86 06 (the PCI ID of the "PCI-to-ISA bridge"). Nice guide BTW. 😀

Re: 386to486, does it work?

Just tried it in DOSBox, looks like complete bogus. Claims to be a TSR, but it doesn't take up any memory. Must be a part of some april fools joke 😜
386to486, does it work?
Posted on 2016-05-01, 06:45
Stumbled upon a piece of DOS software called 386to486 that claims to bring a 386DX to the performance of a 486DX2 66MHz. Anyone tried it? Is it just bogus? Don't have a 386 system myself, I'm just curious. http://www.dcee.net/Files/Utils/

Tried installing DirectX 9 yet? Also try to run your system with no more than 512MB RAM if you have more installed. Edit: I did a little test myself with Tomb Raider III on a Mobility Radeon X700: With 1GB of RAM and MaxPhysPage set to 512MB the game will exit instantly (Windows 98SE refuses to boot …

I'll upload some pics as I get back home. Since I don't have any midi box to get sound from the gameport, can I get midi out from the green speaker "emulating" it ? The Sound Blaster PCI series does GM in pure DOS at least, loading an .ECW sound bank into the system RAM. I don't remember if it's …

Congratulations! 😀 Remember that no Ensoniq based Sound Blaster PCI cards do support AWE32 for music in DOS games, try General MIDI instead. Socket 939 only support DDR SDRAM, so that's the kind of memory you have. And now some pictures? 😉
