Re: Whee!Poll Marathon: Sound Blaster Audigy

in Milliways
Last I checked Soundfont was a standard -- at least the DLS (DownLoadable Soundfont) is. I can't imagine other card manufacturers not having the ability to use other soundfonts. Maybe - I don't know much about the history of soundfonts, although I thought they were a proprietary thing invented by …

Re: Hyperspeed

in DOS
Thanks for the tip Snover but I already thought of that. It's still just as choppy but it may be because I was using the 4000 cycles default setting.

Re: Speedset 1.0.1

Snover, I'm not sure what you mean, but SPEEDSET acts like a TSR, and as you can see in Vlad's examples it must be run and then the game executable must be run. The way I posted works - I used it all the time.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Hyperspeed

1) Edit your dosbox.conf file and change the "keepsmall" setting to "true". The double-sized window wreaks havoc with audio. Yeah I read about that on the forum... Unfortunately it doesn't improve things significantly. 2) It's small, so there's nothing keeping you from having multiple copies/ …

Re: Speedset 1.0.1

Is there a way I can use Speedset with Launchpad? Okay, say for example that you want to run a game called GAME.EXE with SPEEDSET at a setting of -10. Here's what I'd do: 1. Copy SPEEDSET.EXE and SPEEDSET.DLL to either the game folder or a folder in your DOS search path 2. Create a batch file (like …

Re: Re: Hyperspeed

in DOS
I dont suppose setting the conventional memory on the EXE's shortcut to 640 helps? I don't know how to do that in conjunction with LauchPad. Do I point LaunchPad at the .PIF instead of the .EXE or something? Give it a try. You can disable EMS and XMS memory in the configuration file. Tried it on …

Re: Starflight II

in DOS
Thanks Nicht I managed to get them both working. I don't like most of the changes they made from the PC versions, even though the graphics and sound are arguably better. I think if I get a Starflight itch, I'll try getting the PC versions running or else keep playing Protostar (which seems to run …

Hyperspeed

in DOS
Has anyone been able to get Hyperspeed working under WinXP? I was able to get it to run with VDMSound 2.0.4+update1+launchpad by disabling everything related to memory except for HIMEM.SYS (inlcuding disabling Allow DOS to use UMBs). The only problem is that is gives some kind of out of memory error …

Re: Starflight II

in DOS
I don't know if it's allowed to post links to stuff like that (*waits for nasty message from moderators*), but I was able to find them on http://www.abandonkeep.com/ I haven't tried 'em yet though, as I plan to get a new version of WinUAE first, and setting it up is always complicated since I know …

Re: Whee!Poll Marathon: Sound Blaster Audigy

in Milliways
Creative hasn't known what they're doing since they shifted to PCI technology. The reason seems to be that all (or most) of their recent "innovations" are the result of buying other companies (like Ensoniq). I've owned a PCI128 and Live and have been disappointed with the shoddy drivers and support …

Life, the universe, and MT-32

I was just thinking about this and thought I'd write a post about it in case anyone cares: I've been looking into the issue of MT-32 games in VDMSound a bit over the past week or two, and I remembered having a minor argument about soundfonts and MT-32 games with someone on the VOGONS forums. I just …

Re: Starflight II

in DOS
Hey thanks for that update - great news that SPEEDSET lets you communicate with aliens! That was what was keeping me from being able to play it ever since I got this PII-450 I have.

Re: Multiple CD drives in WinXP = no CD audio in Windows games?

in Windows
What would MSCDEX have to do with a Windows game? I've thought about the drive letters thing, but that can't be the case, as I believe my CD-ROM drive is R:, burner is W:, Daemon Tools is X:, and Fantom CD is Y:. Maybe I should double-check though - it was a while ago that I last tried tackling this …
