Hi all

To the guy who says megaem3.04b does not produce FX in sensible soccer -
It doesn't produces FX in doom either (at least on my machine).

To the guy who deleted mega304.zip in favour of mega304b.zip -
Are you positive you deleted the right one?  I am pretty certain it was
mega304b.zip that was currupt.

To the guy who says there's a politician in the UK by the name of John Smith -
I'm afraid he died some time ago, so he probably knows even less than you
thought he did about the next gus :)

Hi guys!
        I am having problem using my joystick with Nascar Racing.  If I
disabled all the sound fx/midi etc, my joystick worked.  However, if I enable
any sound, the joystick started to jump up and down, left and right.  Is there
any way to fix this problem?

Hi any GUS Coders!!

I'm trying to make a player for S3M modules, but have met a problem setting
the loop start/end points correct. This problem comes specially on short
looped instruments (like down to 32 samples). The loop was good when I
adjusted the FRACTION of the start/end points ....

Do anyone know about some way to automaticly detect how to adjust the
fraction part ?

You could try using the MPU-401 emulation under DOOM and see if that
still works.

Although the system does multitask better, I usually have to set it on.

This is a scary venture indeed.  The driver doesn't fake out the entire
card because doing that would slow things down tremendously.  If you
do this, you're doing it!  This could cause some strange things to happen
until the next time you use the card in OS/2 when the driver resets the
interface parameters.

Ring0 is fine, as long as you use Win 3.11. Doesn't cause any problems.
P-mode megaem is a beta, which is why it doesn't work. (unless you have
an old GUS like we do, in which case you can hardly expect them to
somehow magic up hardware general midi support).

The only REAL problem there that's their fault is the no support for OS
other than DOS and Windows.

Why the '!'? Gravis was the first soundcard with wavetable synth, save

Subject: parity RAM does NOT determine NMI support !!

Ok guys,  for all those worrying about NMI being phased out because of
the perception that motherboards won't support parity RAM:
  NMI (NON-MASKABLE INTERRUPT) is not solely tied to RAM parity-checking.
In the olden days, when the PC sucked, NMI was used exclusively for parity
checking.  However, NMI is an interrupt just like any other, and can, in
fact, be masked.  It's an odd thing, but there are lots of odd things
in Intel's 80x86 line of processors.
  So in summary, parity-RAM support does not determine whether a board
supports NMI.  You'll have to contact the manufacturer and look at the
specs or take a motherboard home and try it out to be sure.

Subject: Re: NMI, PCI, Parity, GUS

Hi gus people,

First thing: Explanation of NMI...

    There are two kinds of interrupts - software and hardware.
Software interrupts are generated by DOS or your O/S. They break into
your program (only one physical program can run at a time, remember?)
and do stuff in the background. The problem is that these can be
disabled, and are by most dos extenders.

    Enter Hardware interrupts... these occur every once in a
while. However, the most usable (and the only one you can't shut down
or fuck with) is NMI. The MB designers realized this, and thus the IBM
spec says all boards must have NMI. I side with the guy who said that
Win95 probably uses it... it would have to, to get hardware
multitasking... otherwise, there's no way to get control back from a
nasty program which uses dos4gw.

Second thing:

    Since NMI is part of the spec, if your motherboard doesn't
have it, you have a _NON_COMPATIBLE_MOTHERBOARD_. The new boards with
PCI and no parity still have NMI, at least some of them do. They have
to if they want to stay compatible... IT'S IN THE BLOODY SPEC!

    Oh, well.

Is'nt it a good thing that more and more people are being weaned off those
crappy Sound Bastard's and coming over to the GUS? I have only had my GUS
and been on the Digest for about 5 months, and in that time I have seen a
great increase in the amount of postings to the digest. You should be happy
that more people are buying GUS's, and also that experienced Gusser's are
helping out the newbie's among us.

Anyway got to go, I'm in the middle of my bloody GCSE's. Which reminds me,
I'm 16 and want to become a professional programmer, anyone got any advice?

    That is indeed true since the new Intel Triton chipset based

Like it or not, I wont accept it again! I'm not shure if your brain is

major details that you have missed. The digest is a product made for us, the
everyday GUSsers. It's made for us! See? And if I'm not happy about it, then
I'll have to complain a little. IF nobody complains, then there will be no
improval, and I expect that most of you agree with me in this case. Giant
digest with lotsa repostings sucks. And if you take a bit of your precious
time and read the whole digest, then you will see that I'm not alone.
Several other people have complained about just the same thing.

>How old did you say you were ... 12?

I must say that I'm impressed of your amazingly and breath-taking form of
argumenting. You've almost convinced me that I'm wrong. Almost. There's only
one thing wrong  with your tactic: the arguments. They are missing.

Well, I really must congratulate you with your scary(thumbs up!) and
*mature* nickname. I'm surprised that there are no Dr. or Mr. in front of
it. It's all the same: lame!(poetry, eh?)

So... If you haven't got any reeeaaaal good arguments counting for the side
that you're defending(I must asume that you're defending the other side
since you're attacking my point of wiev), more repostings in the digest,
        then with the powers that God has given me, I say: Begone you foul

Subject: Cyberia things I will try.

I just got Cyberia, which is disappointing, because it has awesome
graphics that scream for wavetable, but offers only Sound Blaster
support.  Running SBOS crashes.  Running Maxsbos crashes as well
(although with a regular UltraSound, I expected at least music to work).
I ran it with the /x option.  I also ran it with the /c option (although
my motherboard has NMI).  I ran it with /x /c.  I thought running it at
/x would work, because according to the readme file, it mentioned that
Cyberia was a game that dies, due to a very "subtle defect" in the
DOS4GW, but that this can be worked around with the /x option.  I ran
Mega-Em 3.04b, hoping that perhaps I can get SB effects.  Mega-Em was
able to run without causing a crash, but everything was silent.  (If only
Mega-Em supported SB FM support!).  Since Gravis's technobabble said
there was a very "subtle defect" in the DOS4GW, I will try replace it
with PMODE and see if MAXSBOS will work.  But since they said they were
working on it, I'll try complaining to them and Interplay to see if a
patch has come out yet.

    This is what GUS rev 3.xx card do, they have those nifty new NMI

EVERYTHING must be at least PARTLY hardware or else why should I plug
in a card? ];->

    Oh, and everyone, in the press release I read, there was no mention
of IW having OS/2 drivers, and since Gravis is providing software for the IW,
that means Gravis doesn't have OS/2 drivers to include right?  Good news
for Win9x waiters though, they should have Win9x drivers.

Which System Shock demo are you talking about? If it is the one in CD
(e.g. PC Gamer), it should support it natively. Execpt, there is one
problem. The ones who put it on the CD _somehow_ forgot to add the 32-bit
AIL drivers (wonder if it is Origin's or PC Gamer's fault). The only way
to correct it is to copy ALL 40+ MB of stuff onto hard drive, then add
the 32-bit AIL drivers (gusmid32.dll and gusdig32.dll) where all of the
other 32-bit AIL drivers are located (can't remember which directory it
is). Then, run LOADPATS, setup/install (whatever it is), and you're all
set to go.

Now if it is the one from the internet, or some BBS (approx 3-4MB
zipped), it should work just fine (haven't tried it out myself). If not,
the process is similar to the above (just add the 32-bit GUS AIL drivers,
or copy them over another AIL driver). Any questions, just reply.

Hope this helps, and keep on GUSsing.

Just so you don't confuse potential Pentium customers, Win95 and the
Ultrasound drivers run just fine on an NMI-less motherboard, I'm using
them now.

    I also have a NMI less motherboard (but not nearly cheap...enough)
and run win '95 and everything in windows works superbly and I even had
to rig up a sound connection from my toshiba quad to my MAX.  The only
problem I have (and this pre-dates windows) is that dos games start off
w/ proper sound and then gradually degrade into chirps and pops the
longer I play.  If I stop the game and reload the patches it is
temporarily fixed again (games include doom2, heretic, relentless, MK2, ect).
I was wondering if this is a defect in my MAX's memory or just a mistake
on my part?
