Doom, WarCraft 2 and Skyroads seem to be good test cases for the Vibra distortion bug. Check here and also here for distortion examples documented by James-F. I've got the Vibra 16XV CT4170. It has DSP version 4.16. For my test i used the 50 Hz WAVE file posted by @digistorm and i tested Doom and …

I have questions to the Vibra 16XV CT4170. The list says that it doesn't have the hanging note bug. Here on retronn.de it says that it has DSP V4.13. So that card must be have the hanging note bug? But i read also that some other cards have DSP V4.16. And what's the difference between the chipsets …

@elianda Thank you for your work. I really want to use your version, because with it i can use the D3D and Progressive Scan output. But i have one problem. With version 4.2.3a i can't record anymore. It only creates a 512 KB AVI file. When i switch back to 4.2.3 it's working fine. Tested on Win7 32 …

This game suffers from some timing issue because of letting D3D to set the FPU to single precision. The degree of FPS loss may even depend on how long the OS is running since the boot. I have a patch, try this, I got the game running at 30fps: http://dege.fw.hu/Patches/SW_Phantom_Menace_FPUPatch. …

Games change Mixer Settings (SB16)

Posted on 2020-01-07, 22:03

Hi, I have a problem with the soundmixer on my Retro machine. It's running Windows 98SE with a ISA Soundblaster 16 PnP CT2950. Some games change my Mixersettings, like the WipeOut 2097 Demo set's the Wave and CD-Audio Level to "0". Is there a setting that i can block this?
