Re: Best Sensaura Implementation

Posted on 2018-04-17, 13:51

Ok so I broke down and bought a damn card. I couldn't pass up the benefits of better HRTF for games like Thief (which incidentally I have never played). I'm also determined to get Halo working on a 450 MHz machine, just for the sound 🤣.

You know, I'm slightly annoyed that wile graphics cards have turned into 10 pound heat pipe behemoths that are more powerful than the rest of the computer they are attached to, sound cards fizzled out and died. Human beings have 2 important senses that come into play with video games: Vision and …

If only I had more PCI slots... now I have 3 cards I feel I must have in my system: An SB Live SB0100 (because it has the best normal sound quality and compatibility with everything), an SQ2500 (cuz A3D 2.0, nuff said) and a Santa Cruz (because their HRTF is better). Originally I was planning on …

FAT16 partitions are not visible from DOS

Posted on 2018-04-15, 05:37

It was my understanding that in a DOS environment, only FAT16 volumes would be readily accessible with FAT32 being readable under certain circumstances and NTFS being completely unreadable. From my windows environment, via disk management, I created a small FAT16 partition of 100 MB. I then used a …

OK... update: I went into BIOS and changed from AHCI + LEGACY IDE to just IDE and now XP is seeing everything, DVD and drives. This would normally not surprise me except for the fact that everything was working before with AHCI and IDE. Perhaps, changing everything to IDE forced XP to see all the …

Now XP can't see my second disk drive either. I believe I caused that to happen myself by unplugging the Win7 drive, so that I could get my drive letters in order and not in some weird order, mixed with my 7 partitions. That served its purpose but upon reconnecting the power, now all the 7 …

I tried both of those solutions. It is not a hardware detection issue because both the BIOS and Win7 show it fine. Something in XP is failing to detect all of a sudden. When I tried the registry thing, there were no upper and lower entries at all.

DVD not showing up in XP

Posted on 2018-04-14, 18:02

I hope this is the appropriate section for this... I tried to create a dual boot on one of my newer computers in the same way I am used to doing so in the past - install xp first on one physical drive and then install 7 later on a different physical drive. Because my UEFI BIOS has the most excellent …

I guess the mystery is still out there then :O Is the quad channel Sensaura better than A3D? Dun dun dunnnnnn ;) I'm almost certain about A3D support in dark titles because of the dlls in the game. I'll see if I can learn more in the system shock forum about this. It would also apply to thief 2 I'm …

Re: Best Sensaura Implementation

Thank you all for the clarification. If I understand correctly, since the boards that implemented hardware support for sensaura can support APIs like a3d 1.0, then basically all a3d compatible games will work using sensaura's transfer functions, right? Except that they will have full 4-channel …
