Jaesun and Sceptic, what do you think of Patch93's soundfont? I'm using it with BassMIDI and it's definitely the best one I've found so far.

 

[mindx2]

Jaesun, you're the broest of bros, but SHAME ON YOU for this. The Windows "GS" emulator is complete utter garbage. The tones sound NOTHING like the SC-55 counterparts and are much worse in quality, never mind the lack of specials (chorus, reverb etc don't work anything like on the real module), and of course it's a "GS" emulator that doesn't support a single GS command, including calls to the extra tones in the sub-banks.

For emulating a Sound Canvas on Windows, I suggest getting VirtualMIDISynth and this GS soundfont, both of which are free (alternatively, if you're already using a graphic card or software that allows selecting soundfonts, just use that. I personally like VMS). Even this won't sound as good as the real module (especially compared to how close Munt sound has become to a real MT-32) but it'll still sound a LOT better than the Windows softsynth.

Is there a guide somewhere that gives a good step-by-step on installing these?

Looks like it may have been a problem related to me using a VPN.

Your Armello link is missing the Codex referral number

 

[pippin]

Yeah, if you want to link stuff from GOG here, just copy and paste the link... the referral adds itself.

 

[Lucky]

I did, but it doesn't seem to want to add the referral. Not sure why it doesn't work.

EDIT: Weird. Works now, but not in the other post. Armello

Shit, I always forget to go through the referal link... all 145 times

But this is shit!?

 

[Lucky]

Could be, I just mentioned it in case anyone backed it. I'm not buying it since I'm already having fun with Way of the Samurai 4.


I did back Armikrog and gave it a quick try. Two things:

1) Backers don't get a GoG-key. You need to activate it on Humble Bundle or Steam instead. Not sure why.

2) The game is quite buggy at the moment. Anyone interested might want to wait a bit before purchasing it.

Any known differences between these and the Steam versions?

 

[PeachPlumage]

Not being edgy or nothing... but can the Bethesda logos etc be taken out of the "Bethesda Classics" releases?

 

[upwardlymobile]

yes. by downloading them from abandonware sites, where they belong.

 

[PeachPlumage]

Ouch! :D

 

[pippin]

Apparently none of the new releases has any kind of extra other than the Arena and Daggerfall copies you receive when you buy a Bethesda game...

 

[PeachPlumage]

X-COM Trilogy release on gog and I will be happy! (even though I acquired them via abandonware sites)

 

[catfood]

They're actually charging 18 jewros for Quake 3.
