Epic Pinball with with Gravis UltraSound. Hell Yeah!

I downloaded the Gravis Ultrasound Classic driver at http://www.vogonsdrivers.com/index.php?catid=3
and copy the drivers from the folder ULT\software\GUS411 to my harddisk and install them.
To my config.sys did i added:
SET ULTRADIR=C:\ULTRASND
SET ULTRASND=220,1,1,7,5

To the at486.ini did i added:
isa4 gus

This works!

The Crystal Dreams 2 demo from Triton may work now. The keyboard doesn't work but the GUS is the first soundcard in the list from memory.

Right. The Ultrasound emulation sounds roughly like 'cat /dev/random >/dev/dsp' though, so keep your sound turned down.

Improved at least 8-bit PCM, 16-bit still needs works, but at least now Pinball Fantasies now sounds reasonable. Not so much for Doom, as it uses a mix of 8-bit and 16-bit PCM samples, but we're getting there. smile

You aren't shifting the 8 bit samples left 8 bits and then running a pure 16-bit mixer? There's way fewer things to go wrong then smile

Please do not post giant animated GIFs, thanks. They're terrible on 3G connections. (Yes, GSM is the new 56k ;-)
