Mike, Exact same experience here. A friend who uses a PAS loaned me the demo, and I was not able to pick a MIDI device either. I looked at the video "ad" and it ran ok, but when I ran the actual demo, I got a few minutes in and then --lockup! Oh well, looks like a great game, but I'm going to have to wait and see if the "real deal" has better GUS support. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- --> Bob Page ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Oct 1994 17:45:54 -0600 (CST) From: Josh Hildebrand Subject: Re: Armored Fist > Date: Sun, 30 Oct 1994 13:29:54 -0500 > From: AdvGravis@aol.com > Subject: Re: GUS Daily Digest V15 #24 > > Anyone out there have Armoured Fist?

I couldn't get any sound out of the game. I know I tried megaem, and I'm not sure if I tried the regular SBOS. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Oct 1994 15:35:28 -0800 (PST) From: George!!! Subject: EPAS I'm posting this message here in case the sysop at EPAS will read this. Please clean the EPAS submit directory. Uploaders such as I cannot upload anything since the disk is full. GUS users, those who were looking for the LOL patch, I'm sorry. I cannot upload it now due to insufficient diskspace at EPAS. 8-( -George ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Oct 1994 15:18:05 -0800 (PST) From: George!!!

It seems common. I am surprised Dynamix let Gus support on this > one, and didn't just delete or hide the gus code until they got it working. > I think they will be hearing a lot of complains about this one. Lets hope > the HMI drivers are perfect, and it is coding error on Dynamix's fault. > BTW< i am running on ALL default settings. Im glad im not the only with the problem. Im lucky i have a SB16 so i can get sound but it must be more frustrating for those with only a GUS. Its obvious dynamix dont beta test very well because its such an obvious error!.. Its disappointing that a large software house like dynamix cant get GUS support functioning when some of these smaller shareware software houses like Epic , ID , Apogee ..etc can.!

It contains quite a few updates from 2.00. If anyone wants it, please email me (I've sent it to all those who have emailed me to date). Also if anyone wants to automatically get the FAQ revisions as soon as they're ready please indicate that in email as well (this goes for those who have already emailed me...please email me again if you want to be on this list). Once again I will attempt to put it on an FTP site such as wuarchive.wustl.edu, but it is not available there yet. Also, who maintains epas and if they're reading this, could they please clear out a little space so new FAQ revisions can be sent there? And of course, if anyone has any additions or revisions for the FAQ, please send them to me. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chris DiPierro: cdipierr@wam.umd.edu University of Maryland at College Park To quote IBM: "Think" ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Nov 1994 01:58:11 -0500 (EST) From: "Christopher M.

Montgomery) Subject: Gus getting media attention --------- The following is a converted OFFICEPOWER mail message ---------- To: gus-general@mail.orst.edu CC: Subject: Gus getting media attention New [*] Codes: [ ] Message: I case you missed it, Jim Seymour gave the GUS MAX a thumbs up in the most recent PC magazine. Check it out. Also noticed that the MAX was compared to the AWE32, Media Vision, and Turtle Beach products in the latest Compuserve CD. There was a comparison of wavetable and FM and a demo of each soundcard that was recorded to CD audio. Also included was the latest gus software.

And what I need to run programs that use these drivers (i.e. "loadpats" ???). Thanks, Chris ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Nov 1994 01:43:11 -0500 From: Led Mirage Subject: Metaltech Regarding Metaltech, I couldn't even get it to work with my SBPro properly. It seems to me Dynamix had really screwed up working on the sound on this game. Besides, the weird thing about it is that the drums and beat is from digitized source while the instruments are from the soundcards. ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Oct 1994 19:56:28 -0800 (PST) From: John Beppu Subject: SETting DOS Environment Variables I recently received a used GUS v2.4 w/ 1 MB of RAM, but with no documentation of any sort. I installed the GUS with the v3.53 install disks. Apparently for some of Z software to work certain DOS environment variables such as "ULTRASND" and "GUSMOD" have to be set. I would ap- preciate it if someone would E-Mail me his/her autoexec and config settings, so I can work backwards from there in order to get my GUS working at 100% eaaa006@ea.oac.uci.edu Egoist! ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 31 Oct 1994 23:48:49 -0600 From: lala@interaccess.com (Imre Olajos) Subject: Tie Fighter problem Hi ya all. I have a GUSMAX. Tie Fighter was running perfectly with the onboard 512K RAM. Today I put in another 512K DRAM having a total of 1MB RAM on my GUSMAX. Everything worx fine, EXCEPT Tie Fighter. The GMIDI music is excellent, but I cannot get any sound effects out of it. Instead it is just giving me crappy upward going pitches when sound supposed to be heard on the exact same setup. Belive me, I tried everything - except the solution that makes TF work... :) Must be something wrong in the special MegaEm's SoundBlaster setup. Anyone has an idea I can use?
