Re: Playing around with sound under dos 6.22

Posted on 2022-02-06, 21:24

Are you sure that no components have been removed from the cards by a previous owner (particularly the ALS100) ? We could inspect, if you are able to provide a photograph. I once bought an Ensonic card, and later realised somebody had used it as a donor - had taken two of the smaller chips off the …

Could try the Unisound drivers with the ALS120 card. Hate to even mention this - but I assume you had your speakers plugged into the correct jack when testing. (I have made this mistake before) Your Diamond Edge 3D might be worth something. Looks like they're rare, asking price of $$$ on ebay. Not …

Feels weird talking about this at Vogons. :p I'm like, " appiah-of-the-thousand-soundcards is into black metal?, no way! ", haha. Anyway... An old classic has finally caught my attention. I read angrymetalguy's superlatives several times over the years, knowing this was a great album. It's certainly …

When demand is there, things get ported to new forms. e.g. Roland MT-32 ---> MUNT. And subsequently mt32-pi. Many who missed out on (acceptably priced) real versions, simply learn to love these new replacement and-in-some-ways-superior iterations. Thus achieving virtually the same results, and …

Avernum: Escape from the Pit ... I stuck with a pretty standard starting party: Soldier, Archer, Priest, Sorcerer, and my usual character names: Arnellis (made up), Tanis (from Dragonlance), Nystul (from the Ultima series), and Raistlin (Dragonlance). Haha, very nice. I too used to include AD&D …

Re: Roland MT-32 , Do I need one ?

Another thing to consider, is MT-32 alternatives... like the MT-100 sequencer and the very large... but very capable RA-50. I think there might be other synths/modules/devices that are basically MT-32 at their heart that can be used as well. But just something else to consider. A list I compiled …

That's the great thing : there are MT-32 options for everyone. If you want to camp on auction sites for a year and snuffle out a rare bargain on a real one, you can. If you want to not camp, and instead Buy It Now a real one for $500 (+$100 as each extra year passes), you can. If you want to spend $ …

Yes, with the combined factors of: 1) only the major economies of the time (USA, Japan, Western Europe) have the scale to see MIDI cards routinely on the secondhand market decades later 2) in such a small niche market, it doesn't take many dedicated enthusiasts gatekeeping the auction sites daily …

I wonder how Witcher 3 compares with Zelda BOTW, in that they are both critically-acclaimed, big open-worldy things with basic RPG themes. I've only played the latter, which was pretty awesome. Witcher has more adult themes obviously. That doesn't sway me, as I don't play games for their "adultness …
