all these formats/devices...wow modmaster will be the only player one ever needs, kudos!

I'd be keen on adding OPL3LPT support to DOSMid, so it could be used on 286 laptops and such. Where can I find the specs for the expected LPT output? I would also need some testers once implemented, since I do not have the device myself.

These are the programming examples you're probably looking for:

• For OPL2LPT: https://github.com/pdewacht/adlipt/issues/1#i … mment-352285382
• For OPL3LPT: https://github.com/pdewacht/adlipt/issues/1#i … mment-403243022

I agree that these code samples are a bit hard to find, being hidden inside a closed GitHub issue thread. Perhaps they should be listed in the project's README file as well.

i will add to first page in this thread

Something went wrong when you copy/pasted those links to the opening post. They don't work there now. The trick is to not just copy/paste the text of the link, since the forum abbreviates the text of long links. Instead, right-click on the links and then select "copy link location" (or whatever your web browser calls it). Then you'll get the actual full URL in your clipboard.

Don't worry, it's a common mistake, which I've also made a few times myself. 😅

Tnx, solved 😀

Are there any gerber files for the OPL2LPT? I really don't feel like paying 21% VAT for something going to the USA.

No gerber available.

If you dont wish to buy from Europe (shipping times are also large these days) , you could consider OPL3LPT instead :
this is available from 8 bit guy : http://www.the8bitguy.com/product/opl3lpt-ad- … lel-sound-card/ (but he is out of stock at the moment)
or from excel valley : https://www.excelvalley.com/product/opl3plt-synth/

I tried using ADLiPT TSR on my Windows 98 machine in DOS box, but it tells me that a wrong version of EMM386 is installed. But the version that comes with Windows 98 is 4.95, well above the required 4.46.
What am I doing wrong?

You running it under windows but it only works in plain dos

Start your computer in DOS Mode

Oh, I see. Thank you.
I'm glad there's still Adpatch.

Hey Dreamblaster.

Any update on stock?

Thx in advance

well i do have opl3lpt in stock
opl2lpt not at the moment
i may do another run if it makes sense
but opl3lpt is a nice replacement i think

Is there any reason to buy opl2lpt instead of opl3lpt? (ie. any reason to use an OPL2 chip instead of OPL3? is OPL3 fully backwards compatible/same sound as oPL2?)

By the way, I just ordered from ExcelValley (opl3lpt) but I was told they ship from China. It looks like there is no quick way to get these in the USA 🙁

Good question, does it make sense, to have OPL2LPT next to OPL3LPT ?
Well in my opinion, the more choice, the better. I am considering to make another small batch of OPL2LPT.
I designed this new revision of OPL2LPT, which would be a fast solder kit (all SMD parts presoldered), or fully soldered/tested board.
It is a more elegant, compact formfactor than the original OPL2LPT.

Through hole "Classic" version of OPL2LPT retired to the museum

New OPL2LPT kit will be much faster/easier to solder
