[Soft] DOSBox. Эмуляция Gravis Ultrasound

Некоторые старые игры не поддерживают MPU-401 для качественного воспроизведения MIDI-музыки, но зато у этих игр есть поддержка GUS, или Gravis Ultrasound. Скажу сразу, в реале я с этой звуковой картой никогда не сталкивался, только читал востороженные отклики, какая качественная MIDI-музыка льется из колонок обладателей этой карточки.

Программа DOSBox поддерживает эмуляцию этой легендарной звуковухи. Теперь ближе к делу.

Прочитать статью по настройке GUS в DOSBox.

Итак, все в ваших руках, дерзайте!

Если для кого-нибудь ещё актуальны поиски драйверов и патчей для GUS, то:
- драйверы, патчи для игр
- FreePats теперь здесь;
- ProPats здесь;
- Utopia переехал на VOGONS Vintage Driver Library.

P.S. Еще для всех счастливых GUSer'ов Dimouse нашел незаменимую штуку - список всех игр, поддерживающих Gravis UltraSound и, главное, КАК поддерживающих, - нужен ли патч, ultramid, megaem и т.д.

General MIDI хорош только на звуковых картах с хорошим синтезатором.
В этом случае - да, можно не городить огород с GUSями.
Но ведь у большинства современных пользователей простые звуковые кодеки,
либо бюджетные звуковые карты, которые имеют ужасный программный
синтезатор, либо используют программным синтезатор винды.
Вот для таких пользователей Gravis Ultrasound даст лучшее качество звучания.
Да и не стоит забывать о том, что в разных играх реализация музыки для GUS и GM
может быть реализована по-разному. В результате, в одних играх лучше звучит GUS,
а в других лучше звучит GM.

 

Я,кстати, ещё не напоминал вам что в дефолтной винде с 98+Direct Media Update синтезатор свой осуществляется софтварно? И что system\gm.dls(system32\drivers\gm.dls) можно заменить на свой.

 

А почему, когда я ставлю драйвер, то написано, что версия 4.10 ? Должна ведь быть 4.11.

 

Всюду по инету такие архивы выложены, везде написано, что это 4.11, а на самом деле там 4.10.
Реально 4.11 только в одном месте нашёл, вот тут: GUS INSTALL
Там пиплы с сайта VOGONS сборник выложили, дрова, патчи итд...
4.11 там в виде обновления для 4.10, нужно сверху накидывать, а потом ставить.
Вот только ИМХО смысла в этом почти нет, кроме улучшенного инсталлятора
разницы между этими версиями больше никакой не обнаружил.

 

Ссылки на Pro Patches Lite v1.60 и на Update Pro Patches Lite v1.61 не работают.
Можно получить альтернативные ссылки на них?

Как эмулировать Sound Blaster через Gravis Ultrasound?

Кто-нибудь пробовал запустить megaem для Gravis Ultrasound?
Инструкция 1

Quick notes: You must run MEGAEM, then EMUSET before any emulation is
active.

Always run EMUSET between programs. This will reset Mega-Em
internally. Many games require the sound devices to be in a
power on state to work correctly.

Should you choose to use a real Sound Blaster instead of
Mega-Em's emulation, you must run MEGAEM with the /SBOFF
switch.

All known compatibility problems are listed in chapter 5
of this manual.

Remove any debuggers from memory before loading Mega-Em.

 IMPORTANT: Adaptec SCSI users must read section 4.1.2 of
 this manual before using Mega-Em.

Инструкция 2

4.1.2 MEGAEM.EXE COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

The following options can be added to the MEGAEM.EXE command line. As you
can see all options should be preceded by a '-', but can also be preceded
by a '/', or just separated by a space.


-H or -? Display the MEGAEM.EXE help screen, which is basically a
shortened version of this section of the manual.

-U or -F Uninstall Mega-Em from memory. Can also be referred to as
removing or freeing Mega-Em from memory. This option should
normally only be used with no other options on the command line.

-ROFF Turns off Roland emulation.

-SBON Turns on Sound Blaster emulation. Default for normal UltraSound
cards.

-SBOFF Turns off Sound Blaster emulation. Default for UltraSound ACE.

-RIRQx Specify Roland Irq number. By default Mega-Em will not generate
any Roland Irqs since very little software requires it. If your
software fails on Roland initialization, you should use this
option, preferably using Irq 2. Valid values are x=2,3,5 or 7.

-NOEMS Forces Mega-Em to load when EMS services are disabled (for
example, when then NOEMS option is used in your EMM386 command
line). Note that you must still have a memory manager loaded to
run Mega-Em. Caution must be exercised when using this option,
since Mega-Em will use EMS to activate your memory manager. You
must manually make sure your memory manager is active to use
this option. Adding EMM386 ON to your AUTOEXEC.BAT will, for
example, achieve this. If you have programs loaded into upper
memory, the memory manager will most likely be active.

-RGDT Relocate server GDT. This switch may be needed on some systems
with certain memory managers for Mega-Em to operate correctly.
You should only use this option if the system crashes as
MEGAEM.EXE loads, or the system becomes very unstable after
MEGAEM.EXE has been loaded, or MEGAEM.EXE suggests you use it.
It is possible that using this option may cause the above
mentioned problems. Use with caution.

-FGDT Force server GDT expansion. This switch may allow Mega-Em to be
used with system/memory manager combinations which cause
MEGAEM.EXE to respond with 'EMM Incompatibility Error: Can not
expand server GDT'. There is however a good chance that using
this option will crash the system as MEGAEM.EXE loads, or
renders the system unstable after MEGAEM.EXE has loaded. This
option has precedence over the -RGDT option. Use with caution.

-P Enable Adaptec (or compatible) SCSI controller protection.

 IMPORTANT: Adaptec SCSI users must read this. Failure to read
 and understand this option may result in loss of data
 on SCSI drives. If you are not using an Adaptec SCSI
 device ignore this option.

Mega-Em requires special consideration when used with some
Adaptec SCSI devices. Many Adaptec SCSI controllers are factory
set to operate at an I/O base address of 330 (hex). Check your
controller manual, if your controller is not set to this address
you do not need to use this option. If you can change the base
address of your card, it is recommended that you do so and avoid
using this option.

What's the big deal you ask? Well unfortunately 330 (hex) is
also the default base address for the Roland MPU-401 MIDI
interface (i.e. Roland sound devices). This means any software
attempting to access a Roland card will instead access the SCSI
controller, resulting in the controller crashing, and possible
loss of data. In addition, without the -P option, Mega-Em will
consider any SCSI drivers to be Roland software, stopping the
SCSI controller from getting any commands, resulting a
guaranteed system crash.

Mega-Em overcomes the problem by distinguishing between Roland
and SCSI software. Any software loaded into the low 640k memory
area BEFORE Mega-Em, and any software in the ROM BIOS/High/Upper
Memory area is considered to be SCSI software. Any software
loaded into the low 640k memory area after Mega-Em is considered
to be Roland software.

This is not ideal. You must never load any SCSI software which
accesses the controller directly into low memory after Mega-Em
(including AFDISK.EXE). More importantly you must never load any
Roland software into High Memory, or before Mega-Em.

If you do not correctly understand what this option does and are
using an Adaptec SCSI device, please do not use Mega-Em until
you do understand.

4.1.3 EMUSET.EXE COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

The following options can be added to the EMUSET.EXE command line. As can
be seen all options should be preceded by a '-', but can also be preceded
by a '/', or just separated by a space.


-H or -? Display the EMUSET.EXE help screen, which is basically a
shortened version of this section of the manual.

-OFF Turns emulation off. The default is to turn emulation on. For
example just typing EMUSET <ENTER> will activate the emulation,
with default options. Typing EMUSET -OFF <ENTER> will then
disable any emulation.

-MT Emulate a Roland MT-32/LAPC1. The default is to emulate a Roland
Sound Canvas. You should use this option if your software does
not have Sound Canvas/SCC1/General MIDI support, but does have
MT-32/LAPC1/Roland support. ("Roland" alone usually refers to
the MT-32/LAPC1 devices).

-L Enable the UltraSound line input. This option can be useful in
some situations, such as when using a real Sound Blaster card.

-Mxx Specify music volume level. The default level is 12. The valid
range is xxx=1-16. For the technically minded, this switch
adjusts the volume in 3dB increments.

-Vxx Specify master volume level. The default level is 16. The valid
range is xxx=1-16. For the technically minded, this switch
also adjusts the volume in 3dB increments.

-MONO Set music playback to mono. The default mode is stereo playback.
This option can be useful since a few pieces of music will cause
audible crackling during very fast stereo pans.

-SS Causes sustained instruments to slowly fade away. With some
software programs, the notes will become stuck and without this
option, become very annoying.

-COn Coexist with real MPU-401 MIDI interface. While Mega-Em will
function correctly with a real MPU-401 MIDI interface installed
in the system, no software will be able to access the real
interface while emulation is active and these options are not
used. These options allow Mega-Em to be used together with a
real MPU-401 MIDI interface. This can be useful for DOS based
MIDI sequencers. Note that when using this option, Mega-Em no
longer emulates the MPU-401 interface, however will intercept
all data sent to it.

-CO1 Allow both input and output to real MPU-401. With this
option music will play through both the external MIDI
device(s) and the selected Mega-Em output device.

-CO2 Only allows input from real MPU-401. Music will only play
through the selected Mega-Em output device. Using this
option may also increase Mega-Em's compatibility on
systems with a real MPU-401.

megaem требует VCPI, не поддерживаемый DosBOX, для работы с ним нужен EMM.
Попытка запустить какой-либо EMM менеджер (QEMM, JEMM) провалилась.
Вопрос: как эмулировать Sound Blaster/MT-32 через Gravis Ultrasound?
Или как сделать, чтобы DOSBox поддерживал VCPI?
Прошу не предлагать неофициальные сборки, я пользуюсь этой: http://jdosbox.sourceforge.net/

 

1) зачем это всё?
2)

Если хочется в гамаке и стоя, то тут сложно что-либо посоветовать (да, и это абсолютно неофициальная сборка).

 

megaem ? Мсье знатный извращенец. Зачем оно на родном железе - понятно, но в досбоксе-то ?
Это даже не в гамаке стоя, это стоя на голове на крыле самолета, на высоте 10 тысяч метров в грозу. Да еще порт на java на компе гонять?

 

Извращенец? Я просто хочу как здесь www.xtdos.com
Кроме того, adlib и sb не дают такого результата, как mt-32.
А fluidsynth и гусь дают более похожий результат.
Но ни mt-32, ни fluidsynth в этой версии нет, остаётся гусь.
P.S. Звук в этой версии ужасно тормозит, я отказался от этой затеи.

 

Если для кого-нибудь ещё актуальны поиски драйверов и патчей для GUS, то:
- драйверы, патчи для игр и список игр из начала темы (не обновляется c 96 года) есть на Gravis Ultrasound Archive;
- FreePats теперь здесь;
- ProPats (19 дискет) можно найти тут;
- Utopia переехал на VOGONS Vintage Driver Library.

 

Дернуло меня тоже попробовать погусить. А всё оттого, что скачал саундтрек "7/11" к соответствующей игровой дилогии и услышал, как там звучит музыка из игры. Тут же осенило - это точно та же мидишка, которая мяукает у меня в игре, но сыгранная через правильную звуковуху с хорошими банками инструментов. (Или вообще через внешний синт) Покумекал малость и решил попробовать GUS. Немного гугла и нашел вот эту страницу.

пользую DosBox SVN-Daum на основе 0.74.
Забрал то что под словами FULLY UPDATED ULTRASND FOLDER. И положил в C:\ULTRASND внутри досбокса, ту часть что 4.11. запустил MIDIDEMO.BAT - всё заиграло, весьма неплохо. (Конечно, в сравнении со студийными VST инструментами типа Kontakt-a и профессиональными гигабайтными банками сэмплов, звуки гуся - детский сад. Но если сравнивать с бластером - очень даже ничего.)

А вот в 11h hour как-то оно не стало играть. Один барабан стучит и всё, остальных инструментов нет. При выборе звуковой карты в настройках игры сетап просит не загружать никаких SBOS, Ultramid или MegaEm. Я и не стал.

Выбрал после этого в качестве midi устройства GM MPU-401. Музыка появилась, но есть ощущение, что на саундтреке играло лучше. Не уверен правда, будет ли лучше с гусём, но вдруг.

Вобщем, жду советов от бывалых.

mahadeva, в папку с игрой надо распаковать вот этот патч: Посмотреть вложение 11th_hour_GUS.rar , после чего запустить настройку звука (SETSOUND.EXE) заново.
Offtop

з.ы. Кстати, если игра вылетает на корейской SVN сборке (у меня вылетает ) - решается драйвером для видеокарт S3.

 

Товарищи дорогие, а нельзя ли хоть краткую, но инструкцию от знатоков - как воспользоваться ProPats-ми и Freepats-ами, расположенными в шапке? Про-патсы пытался установить - не устанавливается, просто скопировать с заменой все *.pat - разницы звучания не заметил. Их явно надо куда-то прописать, но куда и как? А с Фри-патсами вообще непонятно что делать. Я понимаю что это вопль закипевшего чайника, но там неочевидно как-то всё. И будет ли существенная разница звучания с ProPatches Lite, а то может и не стоит копаться?
И еще вопрос - тем кто умудрился таки пристегнуть Utopia к Timidity. Стоит ли этим заниматься, если есть Audigy2 с хорошими внешними soundfont-банками? Насколько крута эта Утопия? Ну, субъективно. И кстати, правда ли что Утопию невозможно подключить к Гусю в Досбоксе?

 

ссылка в шапке...

 

mahadeva, для сравнения, как звучат разные эмуляторы в "11th hour":

• SoundBlaster 16: Посмотреть вложение 1m_SB16.mp3
• Roland MT-32: Посмотреть вложение 1m_MT-32.mp3
• FluidSynth
  зависит от звукового шрифта, я взял AirFont 380
  (General MIDI): Посмотреть вложение 1m_FluidSynth.mp3
• Gravis UltraSound: Посмотреть вложение 1m_GUS.mp3

 

Ogr 2, если имеется в виду ссылка на Статью по настройке GUS в DosBox, то там же только про ProPatches Lite. Они у меня и так установлены. А как установить ProPats (установщик кривой) или FreePats (вообще неизвестно что с ними делать), которые я укачал по ссылкам из шапки - непонятно..

 

Tatarus, с FreePats

FreePats с TiMidity, по идее, должны через *.cfg файлы заработать, а для GUS для них нужно ultrasound.ini генерировать - говорят, это умеет AWave Studio, но не пробовал.
К тому же, скорее всего, для досбоксовского эмулятора они вообще не подойдут - больно у них объём большой, а DOSBox карту с 1 Мб оперативки эмулирует.

и с Утопией

С "Утопией" всё ещё веселее - сам банк, насколько я понял, не пристёгивается ни к чему, кроме карты Gravis UltraSound PnP (у неё оперативки 8...16 Мб). Программных плееров, поддерживающий Interwave формат FFF/DAT, я не нашёл. Можно с TiMidity использовать "исходник" банка (с того же диска), но

Но в примечании к UTOPIA.CFG написано, что он недонастроен - могут быть щелчки и разная громкость, кто хочет - доделывайте.

...

тоже не совсем разобрался.

Насчёт ProPats и Pro Patches Lite:
- с Pro Patches Lite звук "пообъёмнее" - звучание менее синтетическое становится;
- у ProPats

Для того, чтобы нормально установились и настраивались ProPats, %ULTRADIR% нужно добавить в переменную PATH в секции [autoexec] файла настроек DOSBox'а:

Если нужно, вот установленная папка UltraSound вместе с ProPats 3.0: GUS_drivers_+_ProPats.7z.

несколько наборов инструментов, их можно выбрать через программу настройки (C:\ULTRASND\MIDI\PROPATS\CONTROL.EXE).

Но с альтернативными наборами могут быть проблемы - некоторые игры рассчитаны только на стандартный набор патчей GUS, и с другими наборами без "допиливания" не запустятся (напишут, что не нашли сэмплы).

И ещё, в той же игре "The 11th Hour" с набором "Pro Patches Lite 1.61" в музыке будет треск. Вроде это лечится FIX'ом, но его я, увы, не нашёл.
