I use this amazing project: wolfmidi+wolfdosmpu - Wolf3D/SoD music in General MIDI (fully-automatic converter) + WOLF3D.EXE with MPU-401 support You don't need to use the MIDI stuff, although that's awesome too. WASD and mouse support is great and solves the left shift thing too.

Re: Does the SB16 CT2290 have the hanging note bug or not?

Hi! I wasn't highlighting an issue with the OPL chip - whether it's the original full sized chip or the smaller, low power OPL3, both are fine. I was just warning people that the CT2291 has the nastiest hanging note bug (MIDI related, not FM), where the CT2290 does not have the bug (in my experience …

Would love to see a pic. Cool that there was a tower version. Here's mine. Actually this general design was used by countless clones, all varying in quality. I've had a few of them over the years and they're all subtly different, so I presume that the design was either available for purchase or …

You can't have both sound blaster FX and MT-32 at the same time in some of these older games, it'll try and do the FX via MT-32, which obviously doesn't sound too flash. Not even the music sounds good via MT-32 for these '4D' games IMO, I just stick to sound blaster.

A Gothic II mod? Yes it's technically a mod, but actually it's a complete game using the Gothic II engine. I like the setting, the story, the characters, the combat, and the exploration.
