Re: SoftMPU and MPU-401 on LPC interface

Good to hear, I'll look to add a force MPU option in the next version. Unfortunately I don't think the hardware MPU IRQ can be used as a replacement for the SB IRQ, because as far as I know there's no way to trigger the MPU IRQ from software. The MPU IRQ only gets triggered when the MIDI port …

What's the error output from SoftMPU? Failed to detect MPU-401? The MPU check relies on the interface returning an ACK. Maybe some games don't do this check and just squirt data at the interface?

Edit: Yeah it's French. In the box is just a registration card and the game in a jewel case, with a small jewel …

Just noticed that I have the same problem with RTC check. This computer is Compaq Prolinea 4/25s. Seems that patched version (without check) works for me too. Maybe the official version could have flag to skip the check for our special needs Compaqs :D Thanks for the report. I'm planning to remove …

If I remember correctly you play all three at various points in the game. Not sure why I thought this was a British game, the studio was in California. Must be because a lot of the voice actors were British.

Hi, unfortunately SoftMPU will only work with real-mode software. Believe both Settlers II and Sam & Max are protected mode. This is a limitation of the port-trapping tech that SoftMPU uses. It isn't a problem for SoftMPU's primary application (intelligent mode games) as these are all older and real …

Also, a gentle reminder that SoftMPU has been ported to the AVR. Yes, there was a video for HardMPU published this month too! Vintage MIDI: Roland MT-32, Roland SC-55, HardMPU, and an Xi 8088 by smbakeryt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUNkQINpSKw Really cool to think the SoftMPU code came full …

Loom has problems with faster machines, try disabling your L1 and/or L2 cache to slow the machine down. It doesn't require intelligent mode so will work fine without SoftMPU too. Yes, Princess Maker 2 requires IRQ 2/9. Companions of Xanth worked OK for me, but I only tested the non-talkie version.

So I've had great luck using SoftMPU until today when I am getting the message "Real Time Clock support not detected." Can't seem to find out what that means? Just using it with a Sound Blaster 16 card on a Compaq 486, which definitely has an RTC. Shouldn't be any TSRs that would conflict, only …
