OPl3 stereo music isn't working in Doom for me. I entered the SET DMXOPTION=-opl3 -phase command before starting the game, but no luck.

OPL3 stereo does work in Dark Forces.

Corporations are using the chip shortage as an excuse when it benefits them. Eh - I really want to agree with you, but not aware of many companies that profit from not selling product. They are a very small company that can't afford to maintain inventory...that's all it is. Terasic isn't exactly a mega corporation either. Even during the lockdowns...

We don't have BlissBox or the GamerPro Advanced here in the USA apparently.

Have you checked their store? http://bliss-box.net
I thought it was a US Company.

I stand corrected. They do have a US storefront.

>Is there a way to use an original N64 controller with RumblePak with this current core? Rumble seems to work for me in Star Fox 64.

I have an original N64 controller. So far the controls work fine with my old Adaptoid usb adaptor, but it doesn't appear to support the RumblePak.

Is there a way to use an original N64 controller with RumblePak with this current core?

Dithering does help with slight banding, but it doesn't help in all instances. The most glaring example I can think of is the game over scene for Banjo Kazooie where Gruntilda emerges from the pod as a supermodel. I'm looking forward to the 24-bit rendering option that's on the PSX core. It seems that 24bit mode would take too much resources and i...

Wave Race (USA Rev1) seems to be running slightly more stable with the 09/13 release. No crashes for me during the Sunny Beach time trial as long as I go straight to the time trial after starting up the game. It does try to crash.

For some reason, my Xbox controller's analog stick can only move side to side, and not up or down. I tried to customize the controller in the setup menu, but nothing changed.

My understanding is that I can't use my MT-32Pi through the userport if I upgrade to dual ram. Not true, the Digital I/O board that allows for dual RAM still has the user port for SNAC, MT-32Pi, etc. (And if you are using the Analog I/O board, then you can't install dual RAM anyway as the second port is physically blocked, so it's a moot point) Go...

My understanding is that I can't use my MT-32Pi through the userport if I upgrade to dual ram. I will need to go the UDP protocol route instead. The problem is that my MT-32pi uses the Raspberry Pi 3A+, which requires that I use Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet for networking. I don't use Wi-Fi, so I'd have to figure out how to modify my Raspberry Pi 3B o...

1 has just been corrected. Sorg put a fix in

The audio timing has been fixed for 30mhz. Unfortunately, now Secret of Monkey Island freezes at 30mhz too. This problem may require a game specific fix similar to what @user7182 implemented for Secret of Monkey Island Ultimate Talkie Edition. viewtopic.php?t=3889

HarborSeal

I used it last night. The CD audio plays great. However there are couple of setbacks. 1) The audio only plays at the correct timing at the default 90mhz CPU speed. If you set the CPU to 30mhz or 56mhz, the audio will play slower. Some games like Secret of Monkey Island need to be set below 90mhz or else it will freeze during gameplay. Audio timing ...

I'm not so sure that ao486 needs to be replaced with a Pentium core. When I had a Pentium MMX CPU in the late 90's, it struggled to run Apogee shareware games from the early 90's, since they often ran too fast or simply weren't compatible with DOS 7 included with Win9x. I believe it would be better to have separate cores for Pentium and 486/386. Si...

Here is another list of games with MIDI support. https://www.vogonswiki.com/index.php/List_of_MT-32-compatible_computer_games#Sharp_X68000 It's missing games like Bosconian which has separate MIDI version of disk and you get to choose MIDI option when loading.

There seems to be a "garbled text" bug with older pre-VGA Sierra games when played on newer VGA computers. Graphics Bugs Problem - Garbled Text: Some of the newer graphics cards might garble the text in these games and make it unreadable. This problem will occur on Windows 95/98/ME as well. http://www.sierrahelp.com/Games/KingsQuest/KQ1AG...

Some potentially good news. Jotego is working on the Gunbird 2 arcade core. Gunbird 2 is a Psikyo SH2 system. This included the Yamaha OPL4 chipset for FM sound. The Yamaha OPL4 is backwards compatible with OPL3, OPL2, and OPL chips. So Soundblaster Pro, Adlib, and Soundblaster 16 drivers should theoretically work with the OPL4. http://www.system16...

Friend, how do I make ScummVM full screen on my TV? Generally you need to change the resolution of the Menu core.

I have an LG E6 OLED and I'm having the same issues Zorlac is having. 1920x1440 works on my PC, but not for MiSTer. I did notice something interesting when I was fiddling with my TV settings.

Unlike the Yamaha OPL2 and OPL3 chipsets which are used in Adlib and Soundblaster cards, there is no FPGA implementation of the MT32 available.

The only MT32 emulator available is Munt, which is used in the MT32-pi. Thankfully, Munt is open-source, so a developer that wants to implement MT32 in FPGA will have a reference to work from.

Thank you Larn Conner. I found a solution that allows me to save the game in DOS with AO486. It doesn't fix the mouse bug at the beginning of the game, but all keyboard keys seem to work now once I exit Holmes' apartment.

I know next to nothing about DPMI (but I guess that's a starting point). It's good that it's very easy to reproduce. It's going to be hard to debug if DOS4GW is a black box where I don't know what I expect it to do. If there are programming guides for DOS4GW it might make sense to make an application that can reproduce the problem. We may be able ...

So far DOS games in general seem to work great with this core. Generally the problem is DOS4GW which is often fixed by switching to DOS32A. What games do you have trouble with? A short list.

I'd rather have improved compatibility and functionality. 486 bridges the gap between games from the 80's to games from the mid-90's. There are plenty of DOS games that don't function properly with the current core. That being said, if anybody is considering a hybrid solution to emulate the CPU, I suggest taking a look at the Rock Pi X. Unlike the ...

I found a thread over at vogons that may provide insight.

TLDR, Gateway doesn't play nice if the MT-32 isn't connected to a real Roland MPU-401 MIDI interface.
