Has anyone managed to get it to sound right? Also, has anyone got a pizzacato.pat or a contrabass.pat or something that would sound like plucked violins or a deep bass? I've also noticed that there hasn't been a digest come my way since Friday. What's up with these delays? There's also not a new digest on archive... ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 12 Dec 92 15:11:10 -0800 From: cliff@trifid.astro.ucla.edu Message-Id: <9212122311.AA15851@trifid.astro.ucla.edu> Subject: GUS and StarControl II To: Ultrasound Daily Digest I've been posting here the last week whinning about my problem with the GUS on my 486 system with an OPTI chipset. I would like to be more specific about the errors I get. When I run flidemo or mididemo the sounds work great. When I use the media player in Windows 3.1 everything is fine. I do have problems with StarControl II however. When I start up melee and get the options menu---any time I move up or down to one of the items I get a high pitched whinning noise that seems to come out of the right channel only. When I tried to edit which ships I use I get the same noise whenever I move any direction. I can melee for several minutes and after a battle a new ship appears but the game graphics has slowed to a crawl--everything except for the sound is in slow motion. When I tried to play StarCon2, things usually start out ok but at some point the game graphics again slow down. I also have a Diamond SpeedStar 24X in my system but I don't think that is the problem. I will probably upgrade to an EISA board early next week and I hope it fixes things. Has anyone else run into any problems like mine?????? Is it possible that there may be a software fix for StarControlII that will help here? Thanks for any information..... cliff cliff@trifid.astro.ucla.edu ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 14 Dec 92 01:14:28 AST From: LAM Message-Id: <9212140514.AA22498@jupiter.Sun.CSD.unb.ca> Subject: Tel. no of GUS BBS?

Is it the right address? You probably want "chris_yuzik@sfu.ca". Z, not s. And an alternate is simply "yuzik@sfu.ca".

The program requires the following: VGA Mouse WOW II 80286 or better It's a nice little bit of code that even works well on my old 286 12MHz. Check it out. -- ============================================================================= | "Anyone have a coat hanger?
