I'm running into this rather odd issue with the Orpheus II card and this game. During installation, when I select Soundblaster II and MPU-401 with General MIDI, it seems to detect it and be fine with it. But when I run RLOFT from DOS, it gives me the voice / for the intro, but I don't get any music. If I then run the sound.bat or sinstall.exe and try to select the same thing I did in the install, it says it can't detect the MIDI.
There is also an error about "Native Mode is not supported by revisions of the Gravis Software less than 2.00". I've tried copying over the latest version of the AIL GUS 32 DLL files, but haven't had any luck getting this to work.
This is on top of the weird initialization issue of the Orpheus, where I'm getting the "Unable to reset Soundblaster DSP" error, until I run orphinit /v again.
Loadpats seems to work and loads in 83 patches in the 'RLOFT' directory.
The game is correctly detecting the IRQ 2 and 0x330 for the MPU, and IRQ 5 0x220, with DMA 1 for the sound.
Specs are:
Pentium 233 MMX w/ 64mb of ram.
Biostar 8500TTD (swapped from an Asus SP97-V to get more control over the IRQs)
Matrox Millennium II
Canopus Pure3D Voodoo 1
100mbit NIC
Oprheus II
And Logitech Cyberman (for the 3d movement support).
