Good morning. I am waking up to find some MIDI issue in one of my 86Box machines. It seems 86Box broke or changed something with a recent code update.

Took me a few minutes to figure this out. The Soundblaster 16 is now set to an MPU-401 address of 0x300, while 0x330 is still being used by the Roland MT-32 emulation. Windows 3.1 is satisfied using the 0x300 address after I changed its settings to use it, while DOS games like "The Secret of Monkey Island" are still working fine with the MT-32 music emulation. Before that, I had simply turned off the SB16's MIDI address altogether. Oh, well... maybe this new setting really does make more sense. 😉

Happy retro gaming, everybody!

@polpo Nice. I have, and daily listen to my beloved GUS "Classic" in my 5x86 160, but the CPU doesn't have the stuff to do 30 channel tracks in software as would be needed for SB16 output, really.

What's the CPU you're working with?

I still want to pick up a PicoGUS, perhaps for other card emulation, though.

UA: Але тепер маю проблему зі звуком самим, бо він глючний і заморожує систему поки звук не дограє. І ця проблема напевне є тільки з SoundBlaster 16 (sb16)

EN: But now I have an issue with sound itself because it's glitchy and it makes the system frozen till the end of audio playing. And only #SoundBlaster 16 ( #sb16 ) seems to have this issue

Shtetl News: Scott Aaronson posted on the #Texas #SB18 , #SB17, #SB16 debacles a few days back. He mentions the figurative nuking of the *1st class University system* Texans took so much time & effort to build. It's not the hot take but well reasoned-as usual.The pattern of #RedStates nuking themselves is intensifying as stupidity & incompetence simply do what they do best. Brain drain tends to work from ground zero out. #BlueStates should woo the cream, reject the dross

A poem I wrote. Unfortunately, it's based on a true story. #SB16 #utpol #utleg #donoharm

Governor Spencer Cox...bigot, liar, and governor with blood on his hands. The #Utleg ,(Stuart Adams and Brad Wilson are the leaders there), are just as responsible for the deaths that will follow because of #SB16. #utpol

“Governor Cox signed Utah's care ban for trans youth and it immediately took effect. Utah is now the ONLY state with a ban in effect. Last year, he vetoed a sports ban saying "I want them to live. But this ban will kill. Subscribe to support my work. https://t.co/wfsxlI9OOF”

@benwinslow #SB16 will lead to deaths....and #SB15 will lead no worse educational outcomes and more discrimination

In that case, #SB16 is about legislating religion and religious-beliefs. One must believe that one's gender-identify is defined by sex and at birth. End of story. Except, nothing fits that neatly into a box. #utpol
