I don't suppose anyone's considered patching in the MPXPlay code for native sound hardware support?

no idea about any of that... what's special about mpxplay's sound drivers?

I reported GUS support is broken, the author does hang out in the thread he links in the main page. But I guess this won't get fixed anytime soon 🤣

MPXPlay can work with PCI Sound Blaster cards and other integrated sound cards without SBINIT or SBEINIT, i.e. on systems where DOS sound support is otherwise impossible.

Whoa there's still a site! It was meant to shutdown without a trace a month ago.

Ultrasound or Ultrasound Max also? 🙁

If WSS cards work then MAX Should work since the Crystal chip is just WSS with a non-standard port.

^ try it?
I don't have any wss/crystal soundcards anymore - just 1xESS and rolands/SBs.

I have to get my ROMs and all that setup but will give it a shot later on let you know.

I liked DOS emulators. They got the refresh rate / timing always correct for smooth gameplay. This seems to be a lot harder under Windows.

The 1st Arcade Emulator I ever used was Dave Spicers Arcade, known as Sparcade. That was around 1996 and before Mame came along. I still have it on a cd backed up. It works on as
low as a 486 I think. The Arcade emulator scene was very exciting back then, as I think we had all assumed those games (aside from buying cabinets) were going to be lost forever.

In fact is easier in windows, with tools like winmodelines (15 or 31khz)

In DOS is easy too with tools like unirefresh, but results depend much of every emulator, in windows, once you get a proper modeline, all emulators that at least use ddraw will work the same
