Of course, the AdLib output is now easier to capture; you have get the generated digital PCM data directly at the emulator, instead of having to read the analog output of a real AdLib card back into your soundcard's input. I read the digital audio bus on OPL2 and OPL3 chips with USB logic analyzer ...

Thank you very much, indeed I did not try to install it, just run, and after setting the paths it worked.

Also the README still had the old way of applying the patch by extracting, so good thing I had that covered already.

Thanks, I appreciate your input. There already is :) http://www.residualvm.org/demos Sorry, I could only find the demos there, not the gfupd101.exe. Bear in mind redistribution rights (if any) to the file though, if you cache it to residualvm website. with regards to the patch, ResidualVM will read ...

Pardon my ignorance but I was about to download the latest daily build and start testing but currently there are no i386 Ubuntu or Debian packages available (just x86_64). Is there some kind of problem with i386 debs or are they just currently being built? Are there any older daily builds available ...

With stereo, 8-bit, 44100 Hz and 13.33 ms you get 1176 bytes audio data + 1 byte shifting info. The 1176 is an interesting value, as one audio CD sector contains 1176*2=2352 bytes of 16-bit stereo data. It may be that the game internally uses cd-rom sector numbers or the minute:second:frame format ...

That's probably the problem, the CMS uses the SAA1099 with a non-default clock rate and thus all the frequencies differ. In fact if you check the specs for the SAA1099 chip, you will notice that they use a 8 MHz master clock for the chip. A lot of different devices just use what they already happen...

Good work! CMS sounds just like through DOSBox: Everything has a higher pitch compared to the real thing :) That's because we use the same emulator of the SAA1099 chip as DOSBox, which is from MAME AFAIK. If I am not mistaken, the CMS emulator is either coded so that assumes it is being run with a ...

By the way, AdPlug release notes say that for LAA files the volumes are a bit off. LAA file playing is handled by mid.cpp, which is a sign that LAA files are handled or played somewhat like MID files. I do not think there is a single tool to do what you want, if AdPlug is not good for you. There are...

I have been studying a bit about the OPL and different emulators - even written an emulator of some sort myself, by reverse-engineering a real OPL3 chip with logic analyzer. My emulator aims to be very accurate compared to real chip. As far as I know, the .LAA files have some sequencing and note inf...

Thanks, no wonder fiddling with the GUI settings did nothing. Setting the soft_renderer=true boosted my FPS to around 30-40 in the windowed mode which looks very smooth. Setting the fullscreen=true with soft renderer was playable regarding the FPS and render quality too, but some of the rendering ar...

ResidualVM installs and starts the game OK, but I get very slow frame rates in the game, in the order of 1 FPS or so, while the game eats full 100% of CPU time. Other 3D games seems to work slowly too, so not just ResidualVM problem. So it means I have something wrong with my ATI card drivers, the A...

The sound cards today play only PCM samples or PCM audio streams. Ancient sound chips like SID (C64), Tandy, OPL2 (Adlib), CMS (some Sound Blasters) were given some parameters like frequency and volume and they generated the sound internally, perhaps directly to analog output with their internal D/A...

@jepael: OK, what revision of ScummVM? It should say it in the launcher with the ScummVM version (ie. 1.2.0svn51427 means revision 51427). There is no other numbers there. #./scummvm-20100728_stripped -v ScummVM 1.2.0svn (Jul 28 2010 08:08:01) Features compiled in&am...

Apparently? How can you not know?

I have both versions and it seems it is the floppy version that I pulled out of my backup archives. There are install batch files that refer to floppy disks.

ScummVM does not say it is CD version either.
