Re: Struggling with EMM and Ram (Win 98SE)

Posted on 2023-08-30, 19:41

You don't need QEMM for EMS under 98 SE. QEMM is quite aggressive by default, and without basic understanding of what you are doing it will do you more harm than good. Are you trying to run your DOS game under Windows or do you start/restart the PC and go to MS-DOS mode? If you're launching it under …

LocalLoadHigh=1 buggy on Windows 9x?

Posted on 2023-08-21, 12:08

I've recently played a bit with UMBs on 9x, and I've triggered something, that looks like a bug. After adding LocalLoadHigh=1 to my system.ini 386Enh section, .bat files end with the MICROSOFT WINDOWS POP-UP PROGRAM SUPPORT message. And this will happen on batch files, as simple as a one-liner …

On Windows 9x with PnP or pseudo-PnP Sound Blaster cards, it should be enough to change the port in the Device Manager. The Creative drivers will sync these settings with the BLASTER variable and initialize the card accordingly in DOS mode. From there I take a route similar to yours, I use a …

Or maybe someone has found a card, that can be used with the Gold, that would give SBPro compatibility? In my recent 5 sound card build (386DX-40), I had success with a Yamaha YMF719-based card (Atrend ATC-6631): https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=95383 This was admittedly using a real Adlib …

[...]I'm basically looking for an SB Pro without FM. with all Orpheus cards you can just disable the OPL3 completely and it won't interfere with $388 at all , just a matter of editing orpheus.ini to disable it Are there games that try to use FM via the SB 0x220 address? I think I've read somewhere …

You are basically asking for an AdLib Gold II and this is something that won't happen probably ever And how possible would be to "upgrade" the FM section of the Orpheus II LT? By upgrading, I mean doing it like AdLib did on the Gold? Add the TDA8425 and YM7128 and a setup tool for the YM7128? Or …

Still not sure if the issue is caused by pure speed or there is something else in the background triggering it. I tried to eliminate the issue by disabling the L1 cache on already disabled L2 and downclocked to 133 MHZ SL2QC, which made it too slow for dos to boot up in almost over a minute; but …

Surround Module works flawlessly; it passes the test and works in Dune. The only quirk I noticed was the mixer menu wasn't always showing up when pressing Alt + Shift + m. Not sure it was a memory related issue or some minor speed sensitivity problem. Exactly, same symptoms I had. The TSR Mixer …

Re: Soundcard options to Pair with Sc-55

I don't think an AWE64 is a reasonable update to an CT4170 if you are only using it for SFX. The samples are still 8-bit most of the time, so the better quality of the AWE64 won't help much. The AWE could help for some very specific Windows games, that support it. For example, Dungeon Keeper or Croc …

On a side note I have to say the card is fully operational using SL2QC (Klamath PII downclocked to 133 MHz) without any issue on an ASUS P3B-F. I just needed to reserve card's IRQ's in the BIOS and that's it. CPU Multiple setting in the BIOS has two options "*2.0x" and "2.0x": Do the Surround …
