Re: help using Fluidsynth patch with Dosbox 0.74 by clestrade

I don't see those functions/methods defined in the .h file that you posted, but I see them being called there. Your gcc output doesn't show any fluid libraries being linked. My guess is that you've patched in glue code that is meant to bridge fluidsynth to DOSBox, but that you're not linking in the …

🤣 why not just screw it down to something so that you don't have to risk suck catastrophic results?

It should have asked you what path you wanted to install to. You could always try doing it again and see what it says.

I remember picking up this game from a bargain bin around 7-8 years ago. Put it down after a bit because I had some more interesting games to play at the time, but have always meant to go back to it. In the meantime my Disk 1 got scratched really bad; I downloaded an ISO to replace it but never …

What sound cards have an OPL4? This is interesting: http://alag3.mfa.kfki.hu/dcsabas/hi-fi/waveopl4.htm

Guess that means it was composed for GM from the start then, which is interesting since most of their SCUMM games were composed primarily for for MT-32.

SB16's are a good choice, as they have an OPL chip and a 16-bit stereo DAC and are both widely supported and mostly backwards-compatible to Adlib/SB/SBPro. You can hook a MIDI synth (with a joystick-to-MIDI cable) or MIDI daughterboard (most are buggy though from what I've read) to them later as …

A little contribution for this thread. Here's a video clip of Star Wars X-Wing(floppy disk edition) played using the AdLib sound option on a SoundBlaster Vibra128, which is based off the Ensoniq AudioPCI and sounds absolutely terrible: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXObHZEY8u4 That was dreadful!

You've got nothing to lose by trying to solder it if the board is dead, maybe try Googling SMD soldering.

Are you plugging into the recording sound card's mic input instead of its line-in input? The mic inputs on sound cards are almost always mono-only and often have preamps that make them bad for recording anything but microphone inputs. Almost all sound cards have both a mic and line-in input. Also, …

Either way, the DOS collector's version is there, and it does the job fine. There was never a no-CD patch for it so I hacked out the CD check myself once. Not that I can really hack, but somehow I obviously succeeded. ;) PM me if you care for it. That reminds me that the floppy version of X-Wing is …

It could be that the video cards are hogging the PCI bus and not leaving enough bandwidth for the sound card. You might try looking for PCI-related settings in your BIOS to fiddle with, or just get an ISA sound card for DOS games.

Yeah, the Windows versions were really disappointing. Their graphics were much better (especially X-Wing), but they used crappy CD audio tracks for the music! One of the things that really made the DOS X-Wing games stand out was that they used the iMUSE dynamic MIDI music system from the SCUMM …

I used an SB PCI128 (early Creative derivative of the Ensoniq PCI design) and then an SB Live! with native DOS and Win98 in my old PII-450 in the late 1990s. I was pretty disappointed overall with the DOS side of the experience, although they were the only cards I used that could do some kind of …

I bet a lot of these could be compiled as native win32 console apps using Cygwin or Mingw32 and would run fine on modern systems unless they have timing issues. Also, I believe the DJGPP port of UMoria (roguelike, parent of better-known Angband) that I made around 15 years ago may still be the " …

Would be nice to get CD audio volume control supported when playing from an image and then put a note in the readme saying that's the only way to get software-controllable CD audio volume.

If you mount the bin then DOSBox won't know about the audio tracks.
