So I don't get any video from this board. Would it be likely that changing the capacitors would do anything for it?
3DFX Voodoo 3 PCI Capacitors
Posted on 2021-09-13, 22:24
I have the below card. The larger capacitors are marked as 10, 6s, then some random numbers (0G2) which I am sure is a date code of some sort. The smaller 2 capacitors in the bottom left though are marked 22, N, 6. I know the larger ones are 10uf 6V but what would the smaller ones be? Are they 22uf …

Sorry to bump an old thread. This is Rob O'Hara, host of a few podcasts including You Don't Know Flack and Sprite Castle. Boring Beige Box was one of my favorite podcasts, and a big influence on You Don't Know Flack. Many years ago I tracked down Matt through Facebook and friended him. At the time …

Hi....I'm utilizing a Pi 3B+. I duplicated the substance of the zip downloaded for the most recent arrival of mt32-pi onto the foundation of the Pi's sd card and added the roms. I connected my UM-ONE to a USB port of the Pi and the opposite end into the midi port of my pc. With this set up in this …

Hello! According to reviews of the original SBLive!

Sound Blaster Live! Original and Platinum Software
Posted on 2021-01-04, 01:09
Hello all, just thought I would check to see if anyone had copies of the software/install disc that came with both the original SB Live! (CT4620) and the non-5.1 Platinum (CT4760) packages? Been looking around and haven't been able to see them on the Vogons drivers page or otherwise. There is one …
Good DOS game icons...
Posted on 2020-12-31, 14:27
Re: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=51407#p51407 Bah, never mind. I've just been making my own icons. Not too hard actually, I usually just edit a screenshot in Gimp, cut out the main character or a game logo and scale that down to 32x32 16 colors. Then clean it up pixel by pixel. If anyone …

Is there a Wiki or flow chart or something that has compiled all the great information in this thread to make it more understandable to the casual computer midi user like me? I am in the market for a SC-55 myself and have a chance to get a MK1 with GS logo only. Want to make sure I am not wasting my …

I absolutely love, and am jealous, of your room! What are the speakers you are using for your retro build? Also which workbench do you have with the pegboard and light on top?
Sound Blaster Live SB16 Emulation paired with ESS 1868 in WIndows 98/DOS
Posted on 2020-11-29, 17:19
First of all my goal is to have an all-in-one 90's era machine that I can just keep in tact without swapping cards for certain games to run. In theory my solution was to have a SB Live for the Windows 98 games. Then I have installed an ESS1868 PNP ISA card for MPU-401 support in DOS. Before …

I am having an issue getting LSL5 to run on real hardware running DOS 6.22. The machine is a bit faster than the game needs but I have all the DOS based King's Quest, Space Quest, and Quest for Glory games are running fine. Now all but this last LSL game is running as well. I have tried running …

3D Printed case MT32-PI
Posted on 2020-11-10, 02:27
I was wondering if anyone had an STL file for a 3D printed case for the Raspberri Pi 3b+ that would support a .091 OLED screen? Hoping to use this for my MT32-PI build but I have zero CAD skills to design this myself.

Hi, I'm the author of mt32-pi. Sorry about the broken USB; it doesn't get tested as often as GPIO MIDI so unfortunately I missed it! Re: the volume - it should always be 100 when you first boot up. Some game/MIDI song will have lowered it via a SysEx message, I imagine. The volume will be …

Everything is working great now! I did just obtain a 128x32 LCD for the Pi. It is working great as well but it did cause me to notice one thing. It shows the volume is set at 72 within MT32-Pi. Is there a way to adjust this in the config file or otherwise? I have noticed the volume is much quieter …
Re: Emulating MT-32 on an RPi2

Well I was able to get everything working by downgrading to the last version of Raspbian Stretch! Was not working on the latest Buster version. Is this a known issue that I just overlooked?

I have attached a link of a video I just took of my issue to maybe help someone see the problem I am running into. It shows my vintage PC running Space Quest IV.

I am simply trying to hook up an old computer with midi out to the Pi3b+ using a Roland UM-One cable. I have been able to get this to work using Fluidsynth and Qsynth by going into qjackctl and connecting Fluidsynth to the UM-One. I try the same process with Munt and still nothing.
