So what you do is use something like LoopBE to create a virtual MIDI loopback interface. DosBOX sends MIDI to it, it loops it back to an input you can feed to a VST host. You can host it in a full out DAW, but for something like this a single host like NanoHost works well which will more or less...
Most of the time I don't even save the session, never mind actually putting together a proper soundtrack. Once and awhile I do, so far the only full soundtracks I have are Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Xcom. Descent I always meant to get to, but never did more than mess with a couple tracks. You can...
You weren't wrong. Part of what killed AdLib was how good the SoundBlaster was. While the OPL2 was great for music, it didn't work well for sound effects. I mean games still used it for such, but you really wanted PCM for that. Yamaha did make chips that had that (the OPN2 was one such) but the...
Yep. Like at work we got a contract with Box, which is sort of like corporate DropBox and it was unlimited. I mean no big deal right? A university with lots of resources, surely people will use it as intended to share files and such, right? Nope, some departments decided like this sounded like a...
It's something every "cloud" data service has discovered: Offer your users unlimited space, they'll go fucking nuts. Not most of them, but a few people will just fill it full of shit and your costs will be huge.
Honestly that works fine for me. What I really want out of cloud saves are two things:
1) The ability to play back and forth between my laptop and desktop. This is the biggest one. I usually play on my desktop, but if I want to fire up a game on my laptop I don't want to have to go and manually...
They were the first mainstream soundcards for PCs. Basically all they did was take a Yamaha FM chip and put the components necessary to interface it with the PC on it. That worked well though because it was cheap (for the time) and you could now have some actual music in games. It absolutely...
Ya but continually saying "The schedular needs to rock," doesn't make sense if there's an easier way to solve the problem. If HT is not useful performance wise for a desktop these days, take it out. Particularly since, performance aside, it is NOT free as others noted. It costs transistors...
Also it hurts single threaded performance on the P-core. If you have it cranking hard on a thread, but then another thread is saying "can I please to have time on the core too?" it hurts that single thread performance. Now when CPUs only had 2 or 4 or 6 cores, maybe that was worth it. The...
They were probably trying to hide that it was just a Yamaha OPL2 chip, hoping other people wouldn't be able to easily clone it... which of course they figured out anyhow (was really obvious) and did.
The info says yes, they are cutting it entirely from all chips. More or less with e-cores, it doesn't make sense to do SMT anymore, save p-cores for heavy tasks, offload the easier stuff of e-cores.
If it is crashing everywhere and that fast I wonder if it is CPU related. Do you have a 13/14th gen Intel CPU? Some of them seem to have issues with UE games, which Survivor is, when they have an unlimited power setting which many motherboards default to.
The RT crashing seems to only happen on...
Kinda depends on how much you want to spend, and what size you want. If you just want a nice 24" monitor with no frills, the Dell U series is still a good way to go. The U2424H is one we often get at work. $300ish dollars and looks and works well. If you like the 16:10 1920x1200 the older U...
