Blood CD-Audio doesn't loop in DOS
Posted on 2021-01-24, 22:49
Hi, I currently have Blood 1.11 (The September 27th Build) without the plasma pak installed on a DOS 7.1 computer (this is likely not the issue due to it doing the same thing on 6.2). While the OPL3 MIDI works fine, the CD Audio will play but always fails to loop when I'm playing. The only way to " …
Re: Blood DOS Game works with sound effects but not MIDI
Posted on 2021-01-18, 23:18
the answer is that blood's MIDIs are poorly written and require the original SC-55 to work right, not the mkII and derivatives. somehow this fact seems oddly overlooked even after all these years, not to mention the AWE32 option playing FM ... there's been an effort to patch the game here , i never …

Now that I think of it, does setting the sound setup to Sound Canvas have any significant differences from General MIDI? As far as I'm aware, it has support for GS and more voices.

Ok, so nothing seemed to change, but here is a list of the working songs that I could find on the SC-55 mk2: Verified Working: CBLOOD2 (Shipwrecked) CBLOOD4 (Dark Carnival) CBLOOD5 (The Great Temple) CBLOOD6 (Lair of Shial) CBLOOD10 (Wrong Side of the Tracks) Edit: It appears that not every song is …

I had nearly the same problem (MIDI plays fine in setup, but barely if at all plays during the game), and I can't remember 100% how I resolved this, but the following steps were involved: - Using either the GOG install or a fresh install from the CD, can't remember which - Applying the MIDI patch …

I tried it with OUWB as well, but issues were still there with the drivers. Though I haven't tried it without the drivers. EDIT: The version is 1.11 right now
Blood DOS Game works with sound effects but not MIDI

Hello all, whenever running Blood (with Plasma Pak) installed on a DOS 6.2 (not 6.22) system with 2GB of RAM (Computer uses this in Windows 2000), the sound effects work fine but the midi music fails to play. This happens whether it be OPL3 from my SB16 or General MIDI from my SC-55mkii (connected …

Not that this is really important or relevant in any way, but what is the loudest hard drive you own? It can use any interface too, ranging from MFM to IDE to SCSI. I believe my loudest at the moment is a Western Digital Vantage 4.5gb 68-pin SCSI HDD. If possible, post audio samples of your drives. …

Ok, so I now tried using an official installer, which didn't work (same symptoms as mentioned in post above). The CD-ROM drive wasn't connected. I also tried to update the SCSI controller bios, but it wouldn't get past the DOS 4gw extender loading and would keep the floppy drive light on constantly, …

Sorry about the long wait, but after scrapping the idea of Windows 9x due to driver issues, I have decided to go with pure MS/PC DOS. However, this time, I loaded the driver from the HDD itself (booted to the HDD before installing the driver), which made the HDD unreadable after ASPI8DOS.SYS was …

Correct way to terminate SCSI stuff is think of the cable as the rule. Anything that ends at each end always get terminated, none in between. Cheers, Like I said, it has been terminated correctly and the HDD works fine only when the driver is not loaded. Each device is on separate cables (one is 50 …

Hey all, I recently just built a Socket 7 System with a Pentium MMX 166 and 64mb EDO RAM. I am also using an Adaptec 2940 u/uw PCI SCSI controller for both the 32x CD-ROM (50-pin) and 4.3gb HDD (68-pin). Each of them are properly terminated via jumpers/cable terminator. However, whenever using a …
