hey yogi ive got a ymf724

it works fine with boomtracker/sadtracker/dfm which are all opl2 tho ive never tried it with adtrackerii because i dont care about opl3

the driver installer is for win95 although the drivers themself are for dos. i installed the drivers from win95 and just boot in dos mode to run the trackers

you could probably copy the drivers to a freedos usb stick if you wanted to do it on a modern pc, im sure the installer doesnt do much apart from put the drivers in a folder on your c drive

Cool. There are some reports @ Subzero's AdlibTracker2 message board about the use of YMF724s but short on details.
There is also Chocolate Doom, a port of Doom for modern PCs with the goal of recreating the original DOS game play. The nice thing is that it supports OPL hardware. The developer uses a YMF724, but I don't know if the project is based on DOSbox or is a re-write/wrapper of the original Doom code.
For anyone interested I've updated the thread I started about FreqMon801 with my install notes, might be helpful.

No hijacking on your end.. anything FM/opl3 related is fine with me!! Keep us updated... i would imagine that more people are using dosbox than actual ms-dos anyways... so your research will be informing others..

DOSbox Mega Build 6, patched for more low level pass thru; Parallel, network and OPL sound. Reported to work with ISA OPL cards, but finding an XP class mobo that has ISA connectors AND can run fast enough for DOSbox is another challenge. I have yet to test the legacy OPL support/Port Talk.sys/DOSbox combo on my rig so there may still be issues with a PCI card.
The YMF724's legacy OPL core is exposed as a SB PRO2, but on the PCI bus, which does not support IRQs. The hardware option is using a mobo with a SBlink connector, to link the IRQs to the PCI card, but again these mobos are a rarity.
Yamaha's software solution for native DOS/OPL support with these chips, uses a TSR to redirect IRQs over the PCI bus, which was hit n miss depending on the user program's mem usage. The W98 WDM drivers handle the redirects, but support with NT based drivers was dropped as a default. With PowerYMF to enable the chip's OPL core and a kernel mode access driver I.E Giveio.sys or PortTalk.sys, the OPL core can used.
Hope I'm not hijacking this thread, but wanted to throw out what I've learned so far.

Hmmm yea.. why use dosbox if you already use WIN98 and have REAL DOS ? Im lost on that one.

OPL pass through sounds neat I guess.. I wasnt even aware of anything like that!

I'm just getting started with AT2 and got a couple general questions
I just got an old box with on board YMF719 sound setup. It's running W98SE and seems to run AT2 fine from a dos prompt. So Yea! but it got me thinking; I've read threads of folks running W98 and using DOSbox for AT2. Why? Is this for the OPL emu?
I also have been messing around with a YMF724 PCI card on a newer Dell 2400. I've been encouraged after setting up FreqMonster801 under XP; so even though the OPL core is not exposed by default with the NT drivers, it can be enabled and accessed. Has anyone used the 'OPL pass thru' patched DOSbox with XP?
ATM these cards are cheap on EBay and seem to work easily under W98, but it would be tits up to have a XP REAL OPL option:)
The cherry on top would be native support of the YMF724 in the AT2 SDL build, I can dream can't I?

Let's revive this magical thread of all that is good in the world... I would love to hear some AT2 tracks from you guys!!

I have been working on some new adlib stuff as well.. Its been too long!

Yes, the macros are per instrument. Which I still haven't delved into much. I think in the back of my mind, I am discouraged since I know when you start to use macros with the effects columns, it does tend to drag and lose tempo...

Does anyone use the macros in ad2 I'm trying to figure out the wave tables in the midibox fm and I'm not having much luck. Are ad2 macros per instrument or is there only one per song?

I'm kinda new to AD2 as well, but as far as I can tell macros are all per instrument.

I love that thread, dude.

I was thinking additionally about something with a large catalog of soundcard hardware profiles and compatibilities, but that'd be a ton of work to put together, and us asking each other might cover most of that ground. Maybe it wouldn't be that useful.
