What for you need SCVA x64 latest versions ? I don't need the 64bit version. I would prefer the 32bit version. However, people who want to use FSMP presets to switch between VST plugins will NOT be able to. They'll need 32bit FSMP for 32bit VST's (like the SYXG50) and 64bit FSMP for SCVA unless you …

By the way if your report was related to problems with FSMP an SC-VA I would like to note that 64-bit FSMP works perfectly with 64-bit version of SC-VA VSTi plug-in. No. Not a problem. I just have both the 32bit and 64bit versions of FSMP installed now, and both work extremely well. Thank you very …

I was able to confirm today via an email exchange from Roland support. This is what they had to say: Sorry, the Roland Cloud lifetime key covers only the Roland Cloud version of Sound Canvas. [...] All of the Roland Cloud plug-ins are 64-bit, and we don't offer 32-bit versions. The most recent 32- …

I'm actually hoping this isn't true, as it would be bad news for anyone looking to use legitimate Sound Canvas emulation alongside other 32bit VSTi's (e.g. Yamaha SYGX50) in a switchable mode using something like Savihost or FalcoSoft's FSMP. However, going to the old software page at Roland, I was …

A few years ago I remember seeing more MT-32's on eBay than I have seen listed on eBay recently. Previously I had bought one as a gift for my cousin.

Ah. My mistake. I misunderstood the question. To my limited knowledge I've never noticed a difference between revisions within the "old type" MT-32's in games, and I have had both over the years (as well as most of the other MT-32 compatible Roland synths). That's not to say I couldn't have missed …

Phil has a great, in-depth video about the differences between all the classic Roland MIDI synths: https://youtu.be/OLvsaJ4h-VY It covers a lot, but you can easily skip around to the parts covering the MT-32's.

Has anyone attempted patching any of the LucasArts games using ADPATCH? I'm wondering, because along with the Sierra/SCI games, many of these games were squarely in the 286 era. The 386 requirement of ADLIPT misses the mark for 286's that would otherwise benefit greatly from the OPL2LPT.

A CM-500 is certainly a somewhat prized and rare sound module. You could absolutely fetch a decent price for selling it. However, hopefully playing with DOSBox has rekindled something that you haven't quite experienced since you were a kid. The joy of these older games and being able to relive them …

It's trivial to add a -5V line to an ATX PSU. Just wire in a 7905, powered from the -12V rail. Can be done internal or external to the PSU. Trivial is in the eye of the beholder. For an EE or an electronics hobbyist, sure. But let's not assume everyone putting together a retro PC has the knowledge …

A quick update... I got a hold of a 3Com 3c503-TP "Etherlink II/TP" NIC and installed it in the Unisys 286 in the lowest slot on the riser. What's interesting is that slot is an 8bit only slot, but the 3c503 is one of those handful of cards that, even though it's a 16bit card, will also operate in …
