Re: Swaping DAC on SB16

:) not really a waste if you think about it. The features of a 2230 make it a superior card to a awe64 value in a few ways. Real opl3 vs atrocious cqm. Wavetable header. Not pnp. Also it doesn’t have bugs just like the aw64. Plus this make it low noise like the awe and the aw64 was a parts card I …

Looking for the "Sound Blaster Series Hardware Programming Guide" that includes AWE cards too...Has this ever been released by Creative since the widespread manual contains info up to SB16. There is a separate document that describes the EMU part but that does not include some MPU, IRQ and NMI info …

If you isolate a specific game or event when RTC is reset let me know. Thanks. I cannot reproduce that effect.

Yes, confirmed the game is not compatible with the DOS32/A at all but this is not sound related. Good you found a solution to replace its MIDI synth bank. By the way is its original bank good or is it maybe the same as one of the AWEUTIL's three default SBKs?

Edit: Terra Nova has custom samples (FF.SBK) when you select "Sound Blaster AWE32" for music, so DOS32AWE would not be probably needed in this case. Replaced FF.SBK by renaming another SBK soundfont and it worked fine without DOS32AWE. It will take some time to load larger soundfonts such as …

Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri works perfectly! Since this game runs and consists of multiple executable files bound with DOS4/GW you must edit all BAT files that do start them and run DOS32AWE in the beginning of all lines in corresponding batch files that run executable files. For example you …

This game most likely has some bug and writes to unallocated RAM which DOS32/A detects and cannot bear. I have suppressed that check in V1.6 but will restore in the next release since disregarding it is of no help. Reversing the game may help in getting more details about it some day and make some …

There is a bug with memory allocation services provided by DOS32/A which probably affects other software too. Investigating the issue... Is GLIDE2X.OVL part of the original Assault game installation , or is it a third party library?

Could something like SoftMPU (or even Sound Blaster emulation) be integrated into DOS32A as well? I second this question. Such a feature could be a solution for many sound devices that lack SB compatibility. What would you use SOFMPU for had it worked with a DOS Extender? Redirect MIDI via serial …
