I got the 3.53 install disks and installed them. Everything is working fine EXCEPT my start-up sound gets either a)distorted or b)turned into meaningless repeating garbage until I play another sound. I would think it to be some problem with keeping up with playing a WAV and loading up windows. and the 4k buffer limit cannot be expanded to facilitate a large loading of the sound. Wav's play fine in windows and my other system sounds play fine. I have tried the startup sound as several differet WAV's (long and short) with the same result happening. I'm using DMA 5 and have had no problems like this ever with the old drivers. Everything else seems to work fine...Any ideas ??? -jim -- ______________________________________________________________________________ Jim English - jenglish@hpserv.keh.utulsa.edu / EJP51823@vax1.utulsa.edu My thoughts could, just possibly, express the thoughts of the University of Tulsa, but when you're only half way up you're neither up or down.

I'm gonna try going back to the older one I still have lying around and see if that fixes it. For now, I'm back to 63K and voices that cut off. Sierra's gonna get another call. Please post if you've got this working...

HELP! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 May 94 16:48:10 EDT From: "Henrique 'Snoopy' Vianna" Subject: Epic Pinball & GUS Hello! When playing Epic Pinball with the GUS I get the sound fx much louder than the music. If I use my SBPro instead, the volumes are well balanced. Anybody with a similar problem? I think that if I could find a decent DOS-based mixer for the GUS, it could solve this problem. Any suggestions? Thanks, Snoopy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henrique Avila Vianna hvianna@brufpel.bitnet Universidade Federal de Pelotas hvianna@vortex.ufrgs.br Centro de Informatica "Imagination is more important than knowledge" 96010-900 Pelotas, RS BRAZIL - Albert Einstein ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 May 1994 09:30:02 -0500 From: "Joe G.

Thanks to everyone who sent me this information, however this is *not* the problem for the Gateway Pentiums. I have personally tried it (v8.2) and it does not work. Also, the latest mouse driver is v9.01, which I'm told is the bugfix version for v9.0. It looks as though Dell Pentiums may have the same problem with SBOS. According to Gateway, both Gateway and Dell get their motherboards directly from Intel. I heard from one person with a Zeos Pentium who doesn't have a problem with SBOS and the PS/2 port. Perhaps Intel should contract the P6 out to Zeos...

EVERY new Apogee game will now include GUS support via Jim Dose's advanced sound code. -Hank ====================================================================== *** ANNOUNCING: A NEW APOGEE SHAREWARE VGA GAME *** ** COMING JUNE 1st, 1994 ** ====================================================================== Hocus Pocus - A Game by Mike Voss (c) 1994 Apogee Software, Ltd. STORY ===== Terexin, leader of the Council of Wizards, is sending the young sorcerer, Hocus, on a special mission to prove his worthiness. This mission will take Hocus to 16 unique realms, each filled with unique dangers and enemies. Few have survived the Terexin's final test--for many it's a one-way trip. Along the way Hocus will encounter dragons, imps, ghosts and 30 more unique creatures, demons and enemies. Survive, and Hocus becomes a full-fledged, card carrying Wizard. The other option is not so favorable. Awesome and beautiful 256-color VGA graphics. After every two levels of play the level graphics, background and enemies completely change, giving this game unparalleled variety. Hocus Pocus is a action platform game, with exciting puzzles built into each level's structure. Hocus is armed with a standard magic spell (he's not yet a full Wizard, after all), but he can find several potions that give him a temporary boast of magical energy. There are potions that give Hocus the ability to shoot rapidly, jump higher, teleport and fire a devastating energy blast, among others. FEATURES ======== * Smooth 360 degree scrolling, with a parallax background. * Over SIX MEGS of 256-color VGA animated graphics. * Four episodes with 36 huge levels! * Over 30 different monsters, plus four huge bosses! * Incredible new Apogee sound engine, with a dozen theme songs during play. - multi-channel sound effects, with up to 8 effects playing at once! - supports (natively) all major sound cards including: Gravis UltraSound, SoundBlaster/Pro/16, Pro Audio Spectrum 16, AdLib, Wave Blaster, Sound Man 16, Disney Sound Source, Tandy Sound Source, Sound Canvas, and General Midi. - individual control of music and sound effects volume. * Save/restore options, selectable skill levels, four cheat passwords! * Supports keyboard play & joysticks. The game also works with your Gravis Gamepad! REQUIREMENTS ============ * 386SX or better, plus 567K (580,000 bytes) free RAM. * Sound card highly recommended * Joystick recommended * VGA graphics Hocus Pocus is an addictive, action-packed, entertaining game that's comparable, or better than, anything found on the home cartridge systems.

Yup.... everything is happening at once. Validation problems, EPAS running out of space, and now we filled wuarchive as well. Due to the popularity of GUS and all the support we've been getting, our European site konstanz will no longer be available because it was too much of a load on there system. The admin at that site have closed down the GUS archive. BUT have no fear, we are looking at alternatives. The fellow who started the GUS archive on this site (not the admin) is also looking at alternatives. So we may have some good news pretty soon. But in some ways, I'm glad to see what GUS is getting so popular that we've brought down 3 systems in 2 days! :) Stay tuned for more info to come....

However, after upgrading to the 3.53 Windows drivers, the startup sound gets clipped to "You got ... stro." The shutdown sound is unaffected however. This leads me to believe that the driver is fiddling with some thing it shouldn't be. What happens is that in the middle of the playback, the sound is suddenly advanced about a seconds worth... I am using the default settings for the Ultrasound. Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon, or did some fluke error pop up? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 May 94 00:25:30 -0500 From: jfulmer@databank.com (John Fulmer) Subject: Stuff > >Date: Fri, 27 May 94 14:59:05 METDST >From: Herman Dullink >Subject: GUS354(?) > >Are the GUS 3.54(?) discs any good for a Rev. 2.4 GUS? >Or are they specially made for the MAX?

The solution is to use 8-bit DMA which only slows down patch loading a bit. And the best way to check to see if it works is just to use the 16-bit DMA. If you get crashes, then use an 8-bit dma.....

I've finally finished validating new files for the GUS Internet Archives for Thursday, May 27th, 1994. Sorry it took so long. Going through 72Mb of files took longer than I expected. I shouldn't have waited this long but I was not available for a month or so. And yes, once again, the amount of contributions per month have exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect to see 72Mb of files in less than 2 months. I'm both delighted to see GUS's support growing faster and faster, and yet dismayed at the growing amount of work that goes along with such growth in popularity. :) Back to the business at hand..... NOTE TO ALL UPLOADERS! ====================== To all who are trying to upload more files to EPAS, yes, we have once again ran out of room. Anyone want to donate a 100 Gig drive to the cause? :) I'm only kidding of course, the donation part. But I am caught speechless as far as the growth of popularity and support is concerned. For those who have been following our archive threw the last several years, the growth of GUS file submissions have exceeded our predictions time and time again. In fact, so much so that we have reached the limits of EPAS time and time again. During our last round of reconfiguration, we have already limited and defined EPAS as the submission and newly validated files site only. That indeed did gave us room to spare. But now we're getting 70+MB per validation period. And in fact, over the past 2 weeks while I'm validating the current batch of files, I've noticed that we now have a new batch of files all of 40Mb worth already. Eeks! Now notice that EPAS is the only site with such limitations. All other GUS Internet Archives have the full archive. And even those sites, we'll probably be looking at how many megs (gigs?) a full archive does take up and might need to cutback the older files in another couple of years time, if our submissions are mushrooming the way it is right now. But anyway, back to EPAS. We are looking at clearing more room. So no worries, mate. But I'll probably have to get onto validating the next batch of files sooner than I'd wanted to. ie. probably in about a week or so. So if you are the type that like to grab files from EPAS so that you can do a "mget *" for newly validated files only, grab them within a week cause these files will probably be deleted and be replaced by the next batch of files. So that I can clear up even more room from EPAS. NOTES TO ALL: ============= The newly validated files are now in EPAS in their appropriate directories. Please give the rest of the GUS Internet Archive sites 24 hours to get updated. If you catch any mistakes and/or typos, please let me know! Thanks. NOTE: Because of the disk full problem, the file "tecnovox.zip" in ".../sound/wav/files" was not copied correctly. This should be resolved by the morning. Otherwise, you can still grab this file from the mirror of the submit directory from the other (non EPAS) sites.

To all uploaders, please continue to upload to the submit directory so that people can get access to your files before I've had a chance to validate them. But should you find that your upload is not listed anywhere above while you have uploaded the file before I started my validation (ref. my validation commencement annoucement). Please send me an email and let me know. I'll personally take care of your file. Thanks. NEW SUBDIRECTORIES: ------------------- Due to the popularity of several new sound formats, the following subdirectories have been newly created: ../sound/far/files ../sound/far/util ../sound/mtm/files ../sound/mtm/util ../sound/s3m/files ../sound/s3m/util ../sound/ult/files ../sound/ult/util I'm still in the processes of moving some of the older files from ../sound/misc into these newly created directories. Please bear with me. Misc Notes to uploaders: ------------------------ awe32*.* - nothing to do with GUS. This is the GUS archive. doommenu2.zip, doomld2.zip - Nothing to do with GUS gusmag.zip - already have it with name uss0001.zip under .../misc lha.exe - these utils can be found in other parts of our ftp sites musicbox.zip - doesn't work with GUS, and not for GUS anyway okjuke.zip - Not a GUS program pongkomb.zip - Not a GUS game splay100.zip - Not a GUS program tss.zip - doesn't work. Blank screen and crashes ult.* - Can't play since these files need UltraTracker 1.5 but the only version available at our site and in other sites is 1.4 Files that are corrupt and needs to be re-uploaded: cyberp.zip, mcosm11.exe, mfdeep.zip, zakfov10.zip OK, that's it. I'll cut this short cause I still of tons to do. Happy GUS'ing!

Or maybe someone could send me the descriptions of these formats so I could write a program myself. I think it should be easy to do. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Snoopy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Henrique Avila Vianna hvianna@brufpel.bitnet Universidade Federal de Pelotas hvianna@vortex.ufrgs.br Centro de Informatica "Imagination is more important than knowledge" 96010-900 Pelotas, RS BRAZIL - Albert Einstein ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 28 May 1994 13:24:06 SST From: FLAT^^TOP Hello I am having problems with the Windows Drivers which come with the new v3.53 install disks. I have the rev3.7 GUS card with 1MB on board (220,7,7,11,7) My machine is a 486dx2/66 VLB with 16Mb RAM. I used previously the v3.11 install disks, the windows drivers for GUS worked perfectly fine with my Windows for Workgroups 3.11 and NDW 3.0 shell setup. Now with the new v3.53 windows drivers, windows will not even boot up. NDW will give a GPF with the Ultrasnd.drv file and i will get kicked out of windows. when the shell for ndw was removed, and progman put in place, windows booted up, until the opening wav was to be played then HANG !!!!! Is there any solutions for this problem ? The old driver work fine, so i would expect some problems with the new driver.... please reply soon. thanks Jerry Koh ------------------------------ End of GUS Daily Digest V13 #25 *******************************
