That ITX is amazing; did you make the PCI and ISA risers yourself or are they parts one can order online?
Re: Falcosoft Soundfont Midi Player + Munt VSTi + BassMidi VSTi

With WDM drivers I would have no OPL3 so that's even worse of a compromise; the best I can probably do is use an external MIDI device then I guess, thanks 😀

Can FSMP intercept MIDI sent to a MIDI port on the PC (i.e. external MIDI port on the sound card), route it to a loaded VSTi plugin and play it simultaneously? If this is possible, I can't seem to do it. What I want to do is, on a Win98 PC, run Doom (or Monkey Island) in an MS-DOS box with General …

Well, the VST MIDI Driver does not work in Win98SE, complaining of needing a newer version of Windows so I am back to square one. There is no solution for this in Windows 98?

Win9x Software Synths that work in MS-DOS Prompts/Games
Posted on 2019-04-01, 14:24
I was rather surprised and disappointed to find out that S-YXG50 and VSC-88 software synths did not work in a Win9x DOS prompt.. Apparently I can get S-YXG50 to work by using the VSTi version and the VST MIDI driver which I will try tonight; but I was wondering if I actually have any other options …

Re: Matrox G450 can't do full screen MS-DOS Prompts?
Posted on 2019-04-01, 12:10
If you boot straight into DOS, can you see then? I can see text mode just fine during POST, BIOS and bootup, only fater Windows and Matrox drivers are loaded that it messes up. I can (IIRC) actually use DOS full screen fine with regular VGA drivers. Fun fact: When I tried to load the Matrox drivers …
Re: Matrox G450 can't do full screen MS-DOS Prompts?

I think it’s likely that the G450 is trying to use a refresh rate your monitor doesn’t support at whatever resolution a full screen command prompt is. (720x400?). You will probably need to use regedit or a 3rd party utilitly like powerstrip to customize the refresh rate at that resolution. Ahh.. I …
Matrox G450 can't do full screen MS-DOS Prompts?
Posted on 2019-04-01, 09:24
Installed Windows 98SE on a Compaq Deskpro EN-SFF last night; decided to drop in a Matrox G450 PCI because I like those cards. I hooked the monitor up via DVI and everything was crisp and clear after the driver install. However, there is one strange issue. When I start a COMMAND prompt, and go …

I've reviewed a few GM daughterboards and modules in the past, and I'm now considering reviewing or at least recording some sound cards for their FM synthesis implementations. I decided to start with ForteMedia FM801 since there seems to be very little actual recordings of this card online even …
Re: What retro activity did you get up to today?
Posted on 2019-04-01, 07:13
Managed to get my Deskpro EN-SFF with flaky onboard IDE working with a Sil0680 PCI RAID controller card. However for whatever reason the WD 80GB HD I installed on it, despite being registered as 80GB by the card's BIOS, would appear as only 10GB in FDISK.. So I put the original 20GB Seagate back in, …

Update. I ordered a FireGL x3. If it doesn't work either, I'm going to be strongly suspicious that this is actually a PSU issue. I have a hard time believing I could wind up with 3 bricked cards in a row! Also, I just finished recapping my i845 board, so i'll soon have another board to compare with …
