Update, I asked the musician, here is the response: Holy cow that is a blast from the past!! Good detective work finding me 😁 I wish I could tell you that I totally remember what I used but I don’t remember fully. I own a JV-1080 and used that on a ton of stuff so most likely it would be that. …

I may have figured out what's going on. Here's a rough chart to explain: https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=172468 cycles.png The large columns are the amount of time available to render 1 frame on the host system. At 60fps this is 1000/60 or ~16.67ms, during which the emulated system is …

I'm working on a project to automate recording some DOSBox gameplay videos. To save time, I had the idea to start recording and then enable Turbo Mode, which should let me record a ~2 minute video in less than 2 minutes real-time. This has led me down a rabbit hole of Turbo Mode, because I cannot …

Just tested the first MIDI file with a few different Sound Canvases (SC-55, SC-55 Mk2, SC-88) and it doesn't sound the same. The bell sound in the AIFF recording has a higher frequency sound to it, whereas the Sound Canvas samples are duller in comparison. It's quite possible they didn't use a …

Scrabble CD-ROM (1996) has a background soundtrack of MIDI files that plays through the system MIDI synthesizer when using Windows. However, the disc also has a Mac version, and comes with a folder called "MACTUNES", which are in AIFF format and these are played instead for background music. The …

I found that mmnt.net site before but it doesn't appear to be a mirror - it's an indexing project that shows the files that used to be on the site. The links go to the dead ftp.gravis.com server. I should have realized it died so long ago, haha. Didn't check the post date when I found those results!

Is the Gravis FTP site gone? Copy code to clipboard 1 ftp://ftp.gravis.com seems to be rejecting all connections at this point. Are there any mirrors available?

Sid Meier's Civilization had a patch released April 14, 1994 which adds support for some additional sound cards, including Pro Audio Spectrum. This file was downloaded from the Microprose BBS. EDIT: Just tested and selected "Sound Blaster 2 / Pro" and it gave me stereo sound, so I guess this isn't …

Looks like someone else is working on a tiny device using the Vortex86EX. http://www.86duino.com/?p=68 No video-output on this device, but it's a start.

Further investigations. This archived Usenet thread from 1997 (if you can ignore the flamewar!) confirms: practically everything about the AudioPCI is really handled by the host PC. Think WinModems, for the sound card world. The whole thing boils down to a 2xDAC 1xADC on a PCI card with an AC'97 …

A few interesting links for your consideration. * http://www.ronybc.com/ak4531-es1370.php Replace the Op-Amp with a much better one (and further hacks) * http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=11995 "Also keep in mind that by today's standards the AudioPCI's DSP processor is a real lightweight …

I understand that I am bumping a very old thread here, BUT! This topic seems to be the Definitive Resource on vogons for information about this card / family. I've been doing a bit of Internet research on this card and would like to present my findings... both for interest from a DOS/Windows user's …

Just found this video on Youtube, which cycles through these three cards reproducing a song from Doom in both Adlib (OPL) and GM mode. The actual comparison starts about 20 seconds in. Everyone says Ensoniq's FM synthesis using a wavetable is terrible. This is the first video I've seen which clearly …

Today I searched a little more to find out about SoC devices which incorporate an x86-compatible processor. These appear to be the main (current) contenders in this space: AMD Geode GX / LX, or older AMD Elan DM&P Vortex86 and friends (PMX-1000) RDC? Intel Atom VIA (though I can't seem to find their …

Wikipedia's article "List of Single-Board Computers" turns up this set of x86-based items: fit-PC – AMD Geode LX 800 (fit-PC), Intel Atom Z5xx (fit-PC2), AMD G-Series APU (fit-PC3) MinnowBoard Intel Galileo PC Engines ALIX system boards – miniITX and smaller formfactor, models with and without VGA, …

In the early planning phases of a project. I am envisioning a new single-board computer using current parts which can run MS-DOS natively. Think Raspberry Pi, with an x86 processor instead. Looking for tips, links to others attempting similar things, etc. FYI: I was prompted by this: http://www. …

And here they are online. http://warcraft.pcriot.com/

In my free time I have been putting together a tool that can render various popular 2d RTS map images to BMP/PNG/etc. I recently added support for Warcraft maps, but because they aren't user-editable and don't have start locations clearly defined, I used DosBOX to set up dummy IPX network games and …
