I still have to build mine, haven't found the time yet but I do have all the components, except for a bracket. What did you do for the bracket? looking for a proper metal one, not a 3D printed one. Post a photo of yours. :) Hey, I haven't installed the bracket yet but I'm using a metal one. All my …

Hey I just wanted to thank everyone involved in the Snark Barker project. I built one a while ago and just tested it today, worked awesome straight up. It was somehow a much bigger soldering job than I expected so it had me worried after so much time invested but I'm happy in the end :D. Not sure …

Adlibtracker 2 doesn't even work with only the sound blaster in. It must need some fancy memory settings or something. I'll figure that out another time. Every other opl program works and everything to do with the gus works so the hardware on both cards is good :) Adlib Tracker 2 is very speed …

strange cause it sounds like your soundblaster is providing the opl support so with the ultrasound firmware is shouldnt care about address 388.

just make sure your address, irq, dma are different. Im running two cards and ill use 220,7,1 240,5, 3. If can use unisound you can manage it with the set blaster. I got the picogus in gus mode working in DOOM, DOOM2 and Duke3d now it's running on irq 7 with the original setgus stuff, I couldn't …

I need to improve the instructions for that as they’re mostly wrong because I went by memory. In the installer, choose the option to extract the files to C:\ULTRASND instead of going through setup. And then you can set the ULTRASND and ULTRADIR variables in your autoexec.bat file manually. Thanks I …

Hey guys, my picogus is running very nicely in a 433mhz Celeron (LX motherboard) but I'm totally confused about how to install the MIDI patches, I swear I've sat there 20 times and still not figured out how to get past the card detection and fail. The github says just skip it.. but.. I need mental …

Yeah right lol, no one cares about software preservation on archive dot org. It's a very important site for humanity. And if anyone did have a problem it'll just get uploaded again. This is not 1980 the days of hanging onto copyright for no reason are long long over. Let me be more clear: my …

The dump is on archive dot org, so no problem You know, you shouldn't be openly pointing that out here, and it probably shouldn't be posted there, either. That was never publicly released content, and at least two of the rights-holders are still in business. If one of them is still reading along …

I just realized that the sound in that video is really bad. Must be compression somewhere. Or maybe it's just the internal speakers on my laptop that sucks. It sounds better in real life. I promise. :) I had a look on facebook to see if you posted the boards in any group I'm in but can't see it. …

Nice one, yeah I posted photos of the gusar, you should have mentioned you were using those as I scanned the boards better later on. Seems like you figured it out anyway despite the blurriness, well done.

It was roughly around $110 CAD (free shipping yay!) for everything including the beautiful $28 72-pin SIMM connector. >_< I get the idea that you are a connoisseur of fine quality connectors, I snuck a simm connector into my last mouser order but hadn't opened it up yet. Seems like I didn't meet …

How much did the entire BOM add up to from mouser including all the out of stock parts? I need to order 2 sets and the pack of 3 interwaves from shock when the boards come out.

Hello again, Does anyone have an IW78C21M1 they're willing to part with? I haven't seen one for sale in over a year, I think at this point you'll have to use the 29F800 but thankfully shock still has interwaves and that's going to ultimately be the limiting factor of how many can be built. I …

You never know when these things will go out of stock anymore so I ordered a few pi picos for cheap. I don't even know what to do with them until this project is finalized LOL I had no need to for a pico pi but I bought two last week just in case. How wrong I was. And right.. I had been watching …

The postage cost seems wrong? It costs more to send 3 to the UK than the whole lot. Thanks for coming back to this thread :) I'm still attempting to make my own one but it's slow going between other projects. I've still been playing with the clone I was working on once in a while, well once each …
