I would watch a "LGR plays the 486" videos every day ! The magnificent sound quality convinced me even further ! :D Also, now I want to test out a lot of games with my AWE64 but I don't think Jill of the Jungle will play nice on a 800 Mhz P3 CPU, unless I slow it way down with some utility.

It's got more punch, and it's slightly more harsh with a touch of reverb all the time, regardless of settings. One of the best examples of the difference is in Doom. There are many music replacements now, but the original, played on a SB Pro or 16 still hits much harder than you might expect. It's got a texture you don't get from modern emulators. Jill of the Jungle is a perfect example, as well. I'm glad you used that in the Video.

2016-07-14 23:09:11 +0000 UTCMan this takes me back to my dad's first IBM PC compatible computer. The ram slots had cheapo locks so after they broke we had to use legos to keep all eight modules in place.

2016-07-14 22:29:57 +0000 UTCYour hardware videos are just great......
2016-07-14 16:16:00 +0000 UTCI loved my AWE 32...work flawlessly and midi soundes great...
2016-07-14 16:07:20 +0000 UTCLove seeing this stuff. Thanks for the updates !

2016-07-14 09:19:13 +0000 UTCIf we were to peer into your soul, all that would be staring back would be wood grain as far as the eye could see. I also just love all the old 90's manuals that all kind of looked the same. I remember just having like a shelf or two of them and never thought I would have an affinity for them.

2016-07-14 03:25:13 +0000 UTCHehe, yeah the Sony one wasn't working with the controller cards I had, so a no-name 4x IDE was used :)
LGR
2016-07-14 02:18:09 +0000 UTCGosh. I *forgot* you ended up switching that over. Thought you ended up going back to the Sony one after finding the CD Blaster one was stuffed! <sad trombone=""></sad>

2016-07-14 02:13:59 +0000 UTCOh yeah, the CD-ROM is IDE so it's a breeze, didn't have to change a thing other than the audio cable. And thanks, I like the extra woodgrain accent!
LGR
2016-07-14 02:12:45 +0000 UTCThat does feel like a much nicer setup with the Pro. Hopefully the CD-Drive's not been a pain either to get working (I presume it's all good with the adapter card). The extra bit of woodgrain on the unused drive bays is a neat touch too! :)
Rob Caporetto
2016-07-14 02:04:09 +0000 UTCWell I respect that. I'll keep an eye out elsewhere. Still, good stuff. Jill of the Jungle still takes me way back. :)

2016-07-14 01:56:25 +0000 UTCIt's part of the SB Pro package and I like to keep it together, so nah :)
LGR
2016-07-14 01:54:44 +0000 UTCwant to sell your second copy of that Lemmings Manual?

2016-07-14 01:38:48 +0000 UTCVery classic addition indeed.

2016-07-13 23:38:54 +0000 UTCSound Canvas sounds spectacular, I wish my SCC-1 worked! I've had it sent to two separate people for repairs, and it's had about everything replaced, no luck.
LGR
2016-07-13 23:25:54 +0000 UTCHappy to hear it :)
LGR
2016-07-13 23:24:59 +0000 UTCAnd thank you for the support!

2016-07-13 23:24:52 +0000 UTCAye, here's hoping I can get that sorted! Found some promising jumper information earlier today.
LGR
2016-07-13 23:24:43 +0000 UTCGetting there! Now for the turbo button functionality and lights...

2016-07-13 23:12:13 +0000 UTCSoundCanvas option in Duke Nukem 3D is personally my favorite for it. :) Though I'd love to get my hands on a SoundBlaster Pro someday. Awesome video. :D

2016-07-13 22:19:04 +0000 UTCNot quite, both just happen to use similar FM synthesis :)
LGR
2016-07-13 22:18:45 +0000 UTCvery nice!
