We tried Win98SE, WinME and FreeDOS (with softMPU too).
AMD K6-2 350MHz+192MB RAM, nVidia Vanta 16MB. Pentium II Celeron 400MHz 256MB RAM and S3 Savage4 32MB.
Note that these are not my DOSgaming computers, that one does not turn on anymore, only fans spin...
We both have this cable, can it be wrongly wired? https://www.gearslutz.com/board/attachments/l … 8e3033e0ca1.jpg
We were unable to push out a single note on the gameport cable. Only USB and physical MPU-401 worked... We tried about 4 soundcards. PnP and non PnP SB16, AWE64, Vibra16.
[off]Currently I am busy with my university studies. I ordered USB MIDI, which I can use with the SC-55 on my current desktop with DosBOX. Will retry this gameport stuff later when I get some time. I don't see any chance to get an MPU-401 anyway. If you have advice feel free to share, it will be appreciated. I don't say I will test it quickly, but will consider it for sure.[/off]
