Ahh well. Here's to hoping it gets extended to things similar to MT32s ;->
Hrm... Does THIS apply?
Posted on 2003-11-01, 14:27
The Library of Congress has recently granted copyright exemptions in the Digital Millenium Act to obsolete games. The exemption applies to games that require the original hardware as a condition of access, and if the game is “no longer manufactured or reasonably available in the commercial …

Your best bet (currently) is to run without digital sound, until DosBox gets updated some more.

No, he said he wanted to install his MT32 Sound Driver... A real MT32 would NOT require or request that you include the Rom file :->

Simple: OSI always wanted to "push the envelope" with their games. They always wanted to require your machine to be top of the line (Hence why U7 has that god-aweful VooDoo memory manager). IIRC, Dr. Cat was a bit disapointed in U7 because it wouldn't run worth a damn on his 386... Which sucked for …

My $0.02... canadacow did a good emu. He reacted correctly to the C&D, as well as the copyright owner's request. He's worked on the emu his way, and got it working damn well. If he didn't want to be 100% GPL, that's his RIGHT as the author. If he doesn't want to continue, that's his RIGHT as the …

I plugged my old joystick into the MIDI port of my Sound Blaster Live! 5.1, started the game with VDMSound, calibrated in game, and that was it.

Yes. I do this for IndyCar Racing II all the time.
Re: MT-32 emulator and DOSBOX question
Posted on 2003-09-10, 12:07
Difference being that Exult is including pre-recorded sound samples and music. Not patches that are designed to be used with a specific driver or program in a specific way. It's closer to downloading a game, and getting the music files seperately, vs downloading a game, and getting the DRIVER …

Hrm... That's strange, the devs of U6 always said that they basically just "threw some stuff together" that happened to sound decent (One reason a lot of the songs sounded very simple if not outright alike... Take the Character Creation/Main Menu/Intro songs, for example.) Other songs were just …

Probably not, not. I'd say that RailRoad Tycoon would be a better choice (just an example) as it supported MT32 or AdLib.

Correct. U6 was MT32 with a GM patch later on. U7 was also MT32.

It is, primarilly, the third. And, for the record, I CAN hear the difference between 44100 and 48000 😜 (Then again, I can also see a HUGE difference between 100Hz and 120Hz)
Re: Major snag
Posted on 2003-07-24, 00:55
Just a matter of oppinion, but... I would recommend mixing everything at 44100 or 48000 to START with, and work down from there... That way you can test ALL of the sounds themselves to make sure they're correct, and then work your way down. (Course, I run the AdLib and SB emulation of VDMSound at …
Re: Using both NOLFB and VDMsound??

I've used NOLFB and VDMSound without any problems (using the above method, or something similar) for months. When it doubt, try it out ;->

MOO runs fine in XP when the memory is set up correctly (see the post above this) FM doesn't seem to want to work, but General MIDI does.

If you mean during combat, then this is a WELL known issue. Turn off digital sound effects and combat will run correctly. You can keep music on, and let's face it... MoM's music rocks ;->
Re: Increasing 4 gamepad buttons to 6
Posted on 2003-06-20, 00:18
I had one DOS game that USED all 6 buttons: Super Street Fighter II Turbo (VERY accurate recreation of the arcade). It came bundled with a 6 Button "Phantom" controller. It handled U/D/L/R and Button 1 and Button 2 as a normal stick. Buttons 3 and 4 where buttons 1 and 2 on "Joystick 2". Buttons 5 …
Re: Does Ultima 8 run under Win98/SE?
Posted on 2003-06-08, 13:07
Without the U8Windows patch (Do a search... It's been mentioned before) you CANNOT RUN U8 IN WINDOWS. In Win98, however, you CAN run it in Dos Mode.
Re: Does Ultima 8 run under Win98/SE?
Posted on 2003-06-07, 12:35
Technically there IS a patch for U8 under 2K/XP, but digital sound (NOT MIDI) has issues. Hence why I think it's possible that the U8 patch may be updated since the U7 patch finally was.
