Windows XP, FAT32, dual partition drive

Posted on 2003-06-05, 19:44

in DOS
If I install WindowsXP to a new hard drive and format to NTSF and also make a FAT32 partition on the drive, will I be able to run DOS games off of the FAT32 partition or would I need to make a dual-boot drive to boot to either the NTSF or the FAT32 partition to be able to run DOS games?

Sounblaster, vxd drivers, DOS games

in DOS
Has anyone here ever had a compatibility issue running a DOS game on Win9x (with vxd drivers) where the problem was inadequate DOS drivers for a Soundblaster Live or Audigy?

synthgm.sbk

How many instrument patches and how many drum kits does synthgm.sbk have? (Note that is "gm", not "mt") In particular, did it have a "castanets" patch or a "castanets" sound in any of the drum kits? I am trying to decide which castanets sound to use in my default MT-32 soundfont (which I have …

Re: GM/GS vs. MT-32/LAPC-1

dnewhous, the only, or at least most visible (audible?) improvement you may get in hardware as opposed to software would be the reverb. But there are other ways of dealing with that without having to find a daughter-card. :) And yes, LAPC-1 is essentialy an MT-32 on an ISA board. I bought one about …

rant against EMS

Posted on 2003-03-20, 00:46

Changing subjects a little bit here, all EMS really means is that the addressing information for upper memory is placed in RAM. Programs that use EMS read it from there instead of reading it from the hardware on the CPU/chipset/whatever. When EMS was first invented, there was no addressing …

The message box pops up fine, that was never the issue. The issue is that I get an error when I click on the "send" button. I just now perceived that when I click send it is attempting to look up the name that the Vogons forums insert in my "To" field in my contacts list and is not finding it. Thus, …

How do I change the number of threads that are visible? For instance, the "Threads" column of the "PC" forum states "32" but when I click on the forum I only see 3 threads. Also, I am trying to post a message to the VDMSound - General forum with a zip file that is 3MB in size. Even though that is …

Re: MT-32 Emulation

Well, that sucks. I vowed I'd never get another Creative Labs sound card after this Audigy fiasco, but if they're the only ones with EAX, I dunno... I might have to. I really don't think you understood what I wrote. The other cards understand the same EAX that Soundblaster cards understand. They …

Re: MT-32 Emulation

As far as I know, no. EAX is a Creative Labs-only thing. However, other sound cards may have similar environmental effects of their own devising. If EAX is Soundblaster specific, how is it my sound card (not Soundblaster) adds reverb when I activate the EAX switch in a game (Baldur's Gate I and II …

MT-32 and digital effects

Posted on 2002-08-05, 07:47

Did the MT-32 have digital effects like reverb? If so how do you intend to emulate that? Somehow get the algorithm off the LAPC-I? Write your own? Hah! Unless you're a DSP god that will take a lifetime. Use EAX to imitate as close as possible? (Thus using the resources available on modern sound …

Someone mentioned the award winning sound of Space Quest III. Those of you who haven't seen it http://www.queststudios.com/quest/sierrap1.html#MainMenu There is a download for Space Quest III SysEx.

Re: Re: MIDI daughtercards

Microsoft's soft-synth (DirectMusic, Win2k & XP) supposedly is DLS2-compliant. You can even find Roland's DLS GS bank somewhere in the Windows directory, so I guess that in order to use your own you could rename that one and replace it by your own (otherwise you'd have to write your own app to tell …

MIDI daughtercards

Posted on 2002-07-28, 20:37

Shifting gears a little bit, would a MIDI daughtercard (which they don't make anymore) be able to support all the functionality of the DLS2 specification? I am considering whether it is worth trying to find one. My sound card doesn't support DLS2, but I don't want to buy a daughtercard if it isn't …

Re: GM/GS vs. MT-32/LAPC-1

Could you make a list in a text file of all the sounds in the synthmt bank? I'm hoping to see helpfully descriptive names. The MIDI software that comes with the Santa Cruz (Digital Orchestrator) has a list of all the sounds in an MT-32 bank, but they're mostly cryptic things like "Elec Piano 1" " …

VDMSound and Windows 98

Posted on 2002-07-27, 06:45

I know it isn't supposed to work, but my sound card has wdm drivers specifically made for Windows 98 and I wanted to see if this would allow VDMSound to work. But when I try to install VDMSound (I have installed the Windows Installer service) I am informed I can not install because I do not have NT/ …
