As a matter of fact certain composers did use Roland hardware for their work (this is for example documented in a Computer Chronicles episode that I'm too lazy to seek out now) Yes, according to the MT-32 article, Sierra at least did in fact have composers working with the MT-32 in mind, probably …

To be clear: I normally keep my computer connected to an ordinary monitor and switch over to my HDTV by disconnecting the cable. Usually this required restarting and/or futzing with the drivers in order to get sound to work correctly. However, I don't seem to have had any problems since I started …

And now my blasphemous opinion: no matter how much money you invest in equipment and no matter how "good" you make MIDI instruments sound, you still just end up with a bunch of synthetic music that is a laughably far cry from anything that comes from real instruments. Yes, this! I think it is …

When it was working, were they using a separate cable for the audio? If so, they may need to employ a workaround for a bug in the nVidia drivers. http://web.archive.org/web/20100906042110/htt … graphics-cards/

The other alternative is DR-DOS/OpenDOS/EDR-DOS, which definitely has FAT32 support in its later incarnations (in fact, you can apparently use the FAT32 driver with MS-DOS), but I can never quite figure out what's going on with its legal status or even what the best version to use is. It's probably …

I don't think you can measure the framerate of game running in DOSBox using FRAPS. You'll only get the Windows refresh rate. Did you try VMware+Win98+NOLFBLIM? That is where it would be most likely to have an effect, I think.

Undelete was pretty handy too, even though Norton Unerase had a much, much better interface.

Just like when compressing an large image you get better smaller image than compressing an slightly bigger image to that size (example 100% => 10% is better than 20% => 10% in quality). This is news to me. I need normal WAVE files to use them in my Counter Strike 1.6 maps (Half Life engine [Gold …

But it doesn't seem to work. I feel as though this is a user error and not a hardware issue (so I'm not bothering to find and link all my specs). I've read the readme and looked up problems akin to mine but cannot find anything. If you think it's a user error, why don't you tell us more about what …

Of course, there were compression algorithms back then as well, even though none of them were anywhere near as good as MP3 – µ-law and ADPCM and such. The SNES used a form of the latter known as BRR. Many of the codecs should still be included in Windows.

I would have thought one of the concerns would be finding a proper I/O plate to fit the keyboard port. Judging from Mr. Malik's picture, there ought to be a one-size-fits-all solution.

There are "virtual KVM" utilities like Synergy that allow a computer to remotely take control of the mouse and keyboard of another computer. I'm still not exactly sure what you're trying to do, but it seems to me that might be what you are looking for – or at least it might be useful in conjunction …

By the way, there's a rather thoughtful discussion of DOS 4.0 at http://www.os2museum.com/wp/?page_id=759 . (Note that IBM DOS and MS-DOS were basically the same thing until version 5.0a.)

I would say MS-DOS 5 set a baseline and MS-DOS 6.x was just an evolution. Most features MS-DOS 6.x brought were already common with MS-DOS 5 and third party programs. Just think about QEMM, Stacker/DoubleDisk, Norton Sysinfo/Speeddisk/DiskDoctor. So the new features in MS-DOS 6 were not really new …
