*cough* lacp1 owners manual *cough*. no really, the manual has all the samples listed. No, it doesn't. It has what amounts to a patch/timbre listing - not the same thing. mmm in the OP, Geoff asked for the listing onf the 128 rom samples.. the manual lists... *gasp* 128 rom samples! from #1 being …

-m32 in cflags... or install the gcc i386 (if your in a debian derivitive) apt-get gcc:i386 or something. might need multilib too.

Re: How does an x86 CPU swtich from 16 to 32bit mode?
Posted on 2017-01-18, 01:18
As for what I plan to do. My plan is simple: Create a COM file, who's first action when run from DOS is to switch into 32bit protected mode. Then have it run 32bit code. It does not have any requirement of being able to switch back into real mode (which should significantly cut down on program …

first one looks like it has creatives opl, CQM. Second (obv, much more expensive) has all the bells and whistles. the second one is 2760 which was the first? awe32. no pnp, its all jumpers. 2760 is good choice if its not expensive

Good idea? Bad idea? Not practical without a lot of additional work/wiring (I am pretty confident I can wire up the switch without an interlock system, but not in my ability to design a proper interlock). can you get a rotary switch capable of having 20A run through it? Ive never see a 12 pole …

I don't know if anyone else experienced this in the original thread, as the MIDI code for Qt MUNT may be better, but I haven't dove into the mt32d code yet (it's supposed to be deprecated anyway). how are you reading midi? is it external fed into the pi uart? if so, make sure the pi uart is the …

gr.exe / agi does not call external commands and its dos interface is very very minial. agi v3 stems from like 1988 timeline so dos 3.3 / 4 would be very very common. dos3.3 would be fine.

Thanks for the links! In Quake at 640x480 (software mode), I see that a R4600SC/133 gets a whopping 5.5 fps. By way of comparison, an Am5x86-160 gets 5.5 fps. On a much faster R4400SC 250 MHz 2 MB, it scores 8.8 fps. By way of comparison, a Pentium 60 scores 8.6 fps. Not all that impressive. In …

I have the 5.25" version, I have vol files 0 to 12 (a couple missing numbers in between), but its my original 5.25" version maybe check all attributes set only to archive and make sure all OVL files are present since they are the drivers.

Did you check none of the files are hidden? I've not tried GR on my 8088 but Ive had no issues just copying the files around.

sounds like you overwrote one of the index files tho. you have to be careful which index files from which disk go where. gold rush is agi 3... it has a grdir file this has the indexing in it and all the volume files. maybe your missing something or overwrote something
Re: Gold Rush! DOS game on IBM 5150... Insert Disk 1???
Posted on 2017-01-16, 00:15
you cant just copy files onto disks and play it. there are index files that are keyed to the disk (the files like logdir point inside like vol.1 and have disk indexes inside them so the game interpreter knows which disk to ask you to insert). you need to find the original 720kb release or put them …
