Re: Is Vista now Retro

It's not that every Windows version needs completely new drivers. There is compatibility across versions, subject to various factors. In theory, even Windows 2000 and XP drivers (not graphics drivers though) "should" work on Windows 10, as long as the platform (x86, x64) matches. In theory maybe, …

Re: WP32 McCake : MT32 compatible waveblaster board

Does anybody have any recordings of the MUNT emulation? I'm really excited about the MT-32/CM-32L emulation possibility with this product. I have a real CM32L (lucked out and got it before prices soared), but I would love to have an excuse to not put as much wear and tear on my device! Do a Youtube …

Have you seen Unisound yet? https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=72553 It's a single small executable where you configure SET BLASTER to the setting you want for the sound card and then run it and it will initialize and then exit without leaving anything hanging around. You can also re-run it …

I found the manual as a DOC file included in the zipped drivers for the card. I converted it to PDF. That 6 pin header block is labeled as PC_PCI, but it doesn't say what the jumper above it does. It's likely an enable/disable. The manual does list the speaker/line-out settings, as well as the …

Custom chips are expensive New designs are expensive. Taking old designs and remaking them on a [newer] process is cheap. ... from page 1. He keeps saying he has 'people' to work out the technical issues but instead of getting to work and getting the device built he just keeps coming back here to …

e.g. when I bought my Sound Canvas 1-2yrs ago, as a New Zealander, almost every ebay auction is categorised as "Will not ship to your country", or with shipping fees rivalling the item price itself. The same could be said for almost every marketplace. Are forwarding services available? I guess it …

Most AC adapters are variable voltag? I always thought Japanese equipment typically has enough variance to run between 100-120V? But good point I’ll check the included AC adapter. You should always check, but the Japanese MIDI gear I've gotten has all been 100-240V. The SC-D70 was my biggest …

I was referring to the detailed examples that I already gave, which are no longer being made. Your example was Intel building on to and expanding an existing architecture. Not simply taking an architecture designed on one node and moved over to another like it appears that you are trying to say it …

What I do miss from 8.x is that blue side-bar thingy with the WLAN stations. Also, the desktop gadgets. They were useful, actually. Windows 11 is bringing back widgets. They will be on a slide-out thing from the side of the screen and can be made whole screen. We'll see if they or someone else …

Are you searching the US eBay? I'm looking at sold listings, and I'm seeing a few that sold for $130-150 after shipping within the last 30 days. Just setup a watch and get a deal, within the last year I got a SC-50 for $100, and a MU-500 for $136. The only one I feel I slurged on was a SC-D70 for $ …

Wouldn't an FPGA-based solution be a better way to go? Basically take the MiSTer port of the ao486 core and enhance it to add the features on your list that it still lacks? I know that in order to run at the performance of a Pentium or better, and to provide 3D hardware acceleration, more powerful …
