i personally dont like videos where minutes of minutes are talked instead then getting to the point. You have to stretch videos, change Thumbnails at least 3 times and use vague clickbait titles so the Youtube algorythm picks it up... Recently youtube seems to prefer hour long videos. So everybody …

Re: Sound Blaster 16 Clones

The purest sound on earth, that's a statement. And to claim that the MAD16 has "built in voice recognition capability" is quite hyperbolic, isn't it?

I don't like that. i just found this video on his "air gun channel" exactly on this topic and "just" 8 months old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v= …

Re: A sound card that looks a little special

I have seen similar weird sound cards based on the vibra16s. For example this thing: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xm8AAOSwKwlkwRwS/s-l400.jpg It is for a siemens nixdorf FD210 All in one system.

Both are valid. Especially in light of the infamous home depot video. I guess that opinion depens on the region we all are from.

The comments on this video are disabled but its still on. I am still not sure what he expected to happen in the comments... Of course people will …

Re: When Microsoft has a go at Tetris...

Posted on 2024-01-18, 22:06

Coming from a GameBoy to my first PC i already had a ton of Tetris played in my life. And i think the gameboy version of tetris is pretty good. Basic but good. So i was not really interested in regular Tetris clones. But one day my Dad came home with a Diskette he got from a friend. On this diskette …

Re: Midi sounds different in DOS and Windows?

Conclusion: I will always record the real game and not use a midi player. :thumbsup: At the moment i research how games use / set up the FM chip for playback. I came across this thread : https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=52632 wich was quite informative. Games can set the instruments of the FM …
