What's perverse is encroaching on the natural rights of hundreds of millions of people in an effort to assuage the suffering of a tiny handful. When the "natural right" in question is owning an assault rifle then yes, those millions should gladly give up that right for the greater good. Reducing …

That's honestly a response perfectly emblematic of that side. Rather than attempt to debunk my statements as untrue, all you do is express indignation that I won't bend the knee to the touchy-feelies. So the number of children being killed in American schools by gun violence needs to hit a certain …

Do you recommend Unisound or should I stick to the Yamaha drivers? Something I've noticed with Unisound is that it doesn't set the mixer in a way that allows games that manipulate the mixer for fake-stereo (like Wolf3d) to work. A fix for this mixer 'bug' is described here , but this is assumes the …

Hey, mr. user, educate yourself, this is not russian language. Also the russians don't celebrate christmas, they celebrate the nativity and it happens on a different date in january. And stop segregating the people around the world, you're not anything more than anyone else! Just shut up dude, …

I used to have 5+ retro machines built but over the years I've fine tuned that down to 1 socket 7 machine that I love, so yes I have duplicate motherboards for that (and all of the other bits). I've spent years perfecting this build and if something goes wrong I want to be able to replace it and get …

The main pattern I've noticed over the last few years is that Christmas holidays is the only time of year I can really give myself over to a game, and it's usually an old open world RPG. The rest of the year is hectic and tiring and stressful so I just don't have the energy or imagination left at …

The X2GS replaced all of my GM gear but I do sometimes regret selling my Yamaha DB50XG - that had quite a different sound to the Roland stuff, and sounded really nice with guitar heavy rock tracks.

I've found my way back to Chronicles of Myrtana, which is the total conversion mod for Gothic II that came out a couple of years ago. I was reasonably far into a play-through of this but then life got in the way and nearly a year went by somehow, so I've started again. I'm still loving it this time …

I've heard that theory about the passthrough reducing the image quality but I never noticed it myself - I'd just get a decent quality passthrough cable and enjoy it all.

Dual OPL2 wasn't something I was interested in personally and on the plus side, less features means less testing and potential for bugs 👍

MIDIto can lock a SB pro mixer too apparently - I haven't tried it though I must admit: MIDIto r12 (Midi and FM redirection, Mixer locking, Sound Blaster fixes)

I'm a fan of Piranha Bytes games in general and have played a bit of ELEX, but it never really grabbed me. I noticed the other day that there's a mod to mute or turn down several of the annoying environment sounds so that's a win - if you find the constant sniffing of NPCs getting to you, then try …

EDIT: After some struggling, I have managed to make mixer locking and dual OPL2 simulation both fit into the design ! The mixer locking thing will be great, currently I have bat files to re-initiate my YMF719 based card after any game that messes around with the levels. This works fine but it's a …
