This project is DONE. I've got seventeen games and 81 tracks uploaded to SoundCloud (see first post for link). Hopefully this is useful/interesting/entertaining to some of you. I had a blast doing this for the past couple of weeks, but I'm now burned out and finished. :) Back to gaming! Nice work! …

Ruthan that list from Phils compatability list is most likely including both games that work only with Adpatch and those that work fine with the Adlipt TSR program. I know that atleast Prince of Persia 1 works flawlessly with adlipt, but have yet to see it working with adpatch. I still dont fully …

FANTASTIC THANKS !!! You are welcome :D There is one thing I have been wondering about Adpatch. Specifically I see that SimCity 2000 is supposed to work with it on this list: https://github.com/pdewacht/adlipt/wiki/ADPATCH-Tested-Games I have been trying to figure out how to patch the Simcity 2000 …

I may do a second smaller pack for 286 users if anyone wants that? As others here have also said: good idea! :) But perhaps not call it a 286 pack? Maybe some more general name such as "MS-DOS 16-bit" or something? After all, pretty much every game that runs on a 286 will run on an 8086/8088 PC/XT …

hey this is a great idea, thanks for making it Artigkar! and a 286 pack would be useful as well IMHO! Which of the listed games above in the first post will work well with a 286 or older? BTW I have found out what the issue with the sam and max demo is. As far as I can tell Adpatch currently only …

Or what about some patched pack of free game demos / shareare for testing? I have done an attempt at just this, its not prepatched though. You have to put the archive on your C drive on the dos testing machine of your choice and run a "runme.bat" file to do the patching. Here is the topic I posted …

Hello there! UPDATE: Version 6 of the demopack is uploaded to google drive! There are now just 3 different packs currently: the main pack, one smaller pack meant for 286 machines and older (now called MSDOS 16-bit pack, thanks for the suggestion digger!), another pack with just the games that needs …

It seems to be on a 1 game basis, there is no way to scan and patch multiple games in a directory at once as far as I can tell. Dreamblaster or Pdewacht knows for sure about this. Could someone create some script to do that - i dont mind if it would be for Dos/Windows/Linux because i will run it …

Sound Blaster FM emulation For OPL2LPT this helps with games that use Creative's SBFMDRV and thus don't support Adlib cards. Which specific games do this? Btw, this update is pretty cool. I tested the opl3 mode a bit earlier today. The VGM player SBVGM v1.22 seems to autodetect the opl3 with adlipt …

I ordered my OPL3LPT and have it on its way to me now. Do you have the files available for the case to 3d print? I was going to print my own in blue when it arrives. Plan on using this on my PS/2 line of computers where a Microchannel sound card is out of the question due to the extreme prices for …

Ok, it turns out turning down sound quality made the game run normal. I did not expect the adlib to be more demanding than covox for this game 😲 Anyway, I am happy with this card so far 😀
