Dosmid seem nice, but I cannot get it to work with the /opl switch on a ct2760. it keep on telling me that "Error: Failed to initialize the sound device" Hi, that's weird - I actually own a SB32 CT2760, but unfortunately can't (re)test right now, since it's temporarily in a storage box. Although …

Yeah, anything I tried doesn't work. Only running AWEutil /s fixes it. Good news: you're not alone :) bad news: that's how things are, and you can't do anything about that. The problem comes from the fact that Doom initializes the EMU8000 chip on the SB64, and that wrecks the OPL rerouting. I …

I see that some necromancy is going on here. I will top this by going one step further using shameless necromancy self-promotion then. :) I'd like to mention another (quite recent) MIDI player for DOS: http://dosmid.sourceforge.net/ It has very low requirements, and works with MPU-401 interfaces as …

on a slightly related note - last weekend I released a little SNTP client for DOS, called picoSNTP. It is based on the picoTCP stack. http://picosntp.sourceforge.net

Hello all, I write this message to share a little news about what I was doing lately: porting picoTCP to DOS. picoTCP is a modern, dual-stack, open-source TCP/IP stack. It has been created by the good people at Intelligent Systems (Altran), primarily as a stack designed for embedded computing (hence …

keropi wrote: Can it play large midi files (bigger than 500kb for example) ? I don't have such big MIDI files to test (have some links to such monsters? I'd be curious to see), but in theory - yes, it should play such files without troubles if you have enough XMS memory.

Here I present DOSMid, an open-source MIDI player for DOS. Today I released a new version of DOSMid, the v0.8. In this version I added support for additional hardware, fixed a few minor bugs, and optimized the code so DOSMid runs comfortably on an 8086 (wanna see? here's a video of DOSMid running on …

There you go: https://web.archive.org/web/19981206140138/http://www.vobis.de/bbs/support/brett07/index.htm AWESOME - thank you for your quick and 'to the point' answer. I fetched the drivers from the site you provided. The "good" file was the "bst32_31.zip". It provided me with tools to initialize …

Hello all, I recently acquired a sound card proudly named "Sound-Boostar 16/32 3D v1.4". Apparently it's a Highscreen sound card. It contains a wavetable chip, and I'd like to use it in DOS - problem is, I think I need some drivers for that. I got the card without any drivers, and it works fine in …

So... besides using it for 80's DOS games and word processing, what else could I use this PC for? Or is it truly a relic..? (Please don't say doorstop) What about playing music? I mean, MIDI music of course. You can fit plenty of 'em into that 20M hard drive of yours. You'd need to invest into an …

2. the FM address moves along with EMU8000 (you put EMU8000 to E640 ,the FM address steps up as well) I do not think this is correct - the FM address is fixed at 388h and never moves (otherwise how would games know where to find it?). It does however depend on EMU8000, since without proper …

So I am curious - is this an AWE64 issue in general? Is MIDI only output through the SPDIF port in DOS on an AWE64 Gold, as I partly suspect? I've been unable to find a definitive answer to either. Hi, I am the (somewhat) happy owner of a SB64 AWE GOLD, too :) I write "somewhat" happy, because even …
