Hey Ace, I have read on VOGONs and other forums about your problems with the game Star Wars X-Wing (floppy version) using sound cars with the Yamaha YMF262 OPL3 FM synthesis sound chip. Specifically that a CPU processor speed above 133 Mhz for an Intel Pentium will cause a Creative Sound Blaster Pro …

My SC-8820 has dead MIDI ports so I am thinking about a software signal reroute. Is it possible, using MIDIOX and MIDI Yoke, to redirect MIDI signals from the soundcard's gameport to an the SC-8820 that is connected to the computer via USB cable? Are you sure that the SC-8820 'computer' switch is …

From web research I found that the Creative Mitsumi CD-ROM I/O port addresses were 0x310, 0x320, 0x340 and 0x350. Creative was smart enough to skip the possible conflicting MIDI I/O port adddresses of 0x300 and 0x330. So for your Creative ISA CT-2600 (Mitsumi) sound card you have the following table …

Yes, but why? The question is why should even the most hard core user have to search for a config file and edit it by hand? Hard core users by definition edit config files by 'hand'. Why is a settings panel so offensive? You know, DOS software had them. Most games required an install program before …
