Re: Ye Olde Synthe i486

Posted on 2007-07-20, 15:51

One slight change, not that anyone should care... I've removed the PAS16, along with the external SCSI connector, and have installed an AWE32 (CT2760). The SCD-15 was also transferred over to the AWE32, and I have yet to experience the note-hanging issue common to many Creative cards. Fifty-cents …

Crap daughtercards like the Waveblaster... The Wave Blaster is actually one of the more interesting/capable daughterboards. It's equivalent to an E-MU SoundEngine (Proteus), and shares more than a few similarities with ye old MT-32. From a gaming perspective, you might look elsewhere, but otherwise …

Re: A word about Sound Blaster 16s and FM Synthesis

If accurate FM synthesis means anything, if you are using a Sound Blaster, stick with the early Sound Blaster 16s. What's funny is that, if you read those two patents, it's essentially claimed that Yamaha's FM is inaccurate. In any case, have you noticed any real difference between the OPL and CQM …

Still, I suppose if completeness is the intent, somebody ought to look into Quest for Glory IV's "vibration" support with the Logitech CyberMan one of these days... I have Cyberman (playin in doom with it sometimes). and can test their support in this title. No need, but thank-you. It vibrates to a …

Not to criticize, but the reason for emulating the IMFC is the same reason for emulating the Game Blaster or the SSI-2001, games used it. I hope somebody decides to emulate the Casio CSM-1 someday. Only my opinion, but wanting to emulate something simply for the sake of limited driver support seems …

... but the IMFC came with more patches. ...? The IMFC, like the FB-01, has five ROM and two RAM banks, totalling 336 "voices." The 48 voices in bank 3 are copied to the two RAM banks upon boot-up. It might be worthwhile to simply port and modify the FB-01 emulator, although (and I don't mean to …

Re: Speed of a Retro PC

Don't fall into the mindset that the mentioned Dell PC is the only box to implement speed switching. I have several non-Dell Pentium and 486 PCs with the same functionality through the use of CTRL-ALT-(keypad -/+). As far as Wing Commander is concerned, it seems to run at a "normal" speed on a …
