(Strong language) I agree that Black Hawk is quite good but to not recommend System Shock is mad! System shock has got to be the best 3D game I have EVER come across, it beats Doom (II) hands down, it's smooth, fast, brain-teasing, active, everything. What's more, if you don't like an aspect of the game (eg combat) then you can switch it off or even make other aspects (eg Puzzles) harder. The plot is long and twisted, and best of all, it has Gus native support seamlessly integrated into itself, with its own patches for those of you who don't have 1Mb. Then again, this person might have a personal view of system shock as slow-on-a- 386, memory-hungry, 30megabyte eating monster game... -- /--------------------------\ | Matt Robinson | "I don't know what weapons World War III will be | can be contacted at | fought with, but I know that World War IV will | Matt@machine.demon.co.uk | be fought with sticks and stones." - Albert \--------------------------/ Einstein ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Dec 1994 22:14:09 -0800 From: jr@teleport.com (John Laine) Subject: GUS Max and USNF Has anyone gotten this to work.

I have tried to change the irq and dma and the adress (of course, I haven't tested them all...) but nothing seems to help. Is there a patch or update for that game???

It also makes use of the C54231 CODEC chip on the GUS MAX for digital audio. This driver is still an ALPHA version but we have tested it with a number software titles and felt the improvement in sound quality justify releasing it.

U.S NAVY Fighters also sound great with the GUS MAX version of SBOS. Advanced Gravis Financial Results -3rd Quarter --------------------------------------------- December 19, 1994 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: TORONTO: AED VANCOUVER: AED OTC BBS: GRVSF ADVANCED GRAVIS COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY LTD. THIRD QUARTER OPERATING RESULTS FISCAL 1995 Financial Results ----------------- Total revenues for the third fiscal quarter ending October 31, 1994, were $11,375,880 versus $6,482,102 for the comparable quarter last year, an increase of 75%. Net profit for the quarter was $195,085, or 1 cent per share versus $45,187 or nil cents per share last year. Total revenues for the nine months ending October 31, 1994, were $27,163,891 versus $14,628,503 for the same period last year, an increase of 86%. The net loss for the nine-month period was $212,011 or 1 cent per share versus a net loss of $681,052 or 5 cents per share last year's comparable quarter. All the Company's product lines contributed to the quarter's strong sales growth. Ultrasound sales increased 48%, and core products sales were up 86% from the previous year. Gross margins improved for the third quarter to 28%, up from 25% in both the comparable year and this year's fiscal second quarter. This was primarily due to a more favorable overall product mix, introduction of new higher margin products, and increasing benefits from the Company's offshore manufacturing operations. Total selling and advertising expenses for the third quarter were $1,479,775 (13%)* versus $738,792 (11%) for the same period last year. The increased selling and advertising expenses were primarily associated with the launch of new products, increased print advertising, higher costs for increased software developer support, and expenses associated with the operation of a European sales office. The costs of doing business in Europe in the same period last year were accounted for as commission expenses and were included in Cost of Goods Sold. Research and development costs were $397,993 (3%) for the quarter versus $198,679 (3%) for the same period last year. General and Administrative expenses for the third quarter were $646,305 (6%) versus $415,203 (6%) for the comparable period last year. General and Administration expenses for the third quarter included $103,031 of recruiting and relocation expenses for the addition of senior executives and a foreign exchange loss of $179,884 versus a $16,340 gain for the comparable period in the prior year. The foreign exchange loss was due to a temporary strengthening of the Canadian versus the U.S. dollar.

We would also like to take this opportunity to say thanks for all your support and to let you know that we are committed to improving our products and support in 1995. I personally would like to thank the SYSOPs of the Gravis BBS NODES, the administrators of the WWW and Internet Gravis sites and to Dave Debry who has resurrected the Gus Daily Digest. I will be working on getting our own Internet Server installed here at Gravis sometime in spring 95. This will make distribution and updates of our software a lot faster and user will also be able to telenet into our BBS. Gravis UltraSound OS/2 Drivers - Alpha Version - (OS2_031A.ZIP) --------------------------------------------------------------- For the past two months the request for Ultrasound OS/2 drivers have been greater than ever. Our current OS/2 drivers are not 100% completed, however we are releasing them to the public as an ALPHA version. These drivers provide OS/2 multimedia audio support for the Advanced Gravis UltraSound line of audio cards. These drivers support simultaneous playback of WAVE and MIDI audio streams through the UltraSound card. Known limitations ----------------- These drivers are ALPHA drivers and as such are unsupported by Advanced Gravis. The drivers have the following known limitations, which will be addressed in future releases: - 44KHz 16-bit stereo WAVE files may play with crackling and popping sounds on some machines. - MIDI patch loading is optimized for cards with at least 512K of GUS memory. UltraSounds with 256K of memory may experience performance and sound problems while playing MIDI files. - The driver provides no explicit support for DOS sessions. Audio Interface Libraries 3.0 (AIL 3.0) Drivers (USAIL310.ZIP) ------------------------------------------------------------ AIL 3.0 drivers are not compatible with the AIL 2.x or AIL32 specifications. These drivers will allow you to patch games that were shipped without UltraSound support but use the AIL 3.0 driver specification. Unlike AIL 2.x and AIL32 no TSR program such as Ultramid or loadpats is required to get Ultrasound support. This means UltraSound TSR's such as SBOS, UltraMID, or Mega-Em should be removed from memory, as they will conflict with this driver. The AIL 3.0 will, if you wish, allow you to use custom patches in a game. Known games that support AIL 3.0 drivers: Title Company --------------------------------------------- WarCraft Blizzard Entertainment Patch For PGA TOUR GOLF 486 (PGA486US.ZIP) ----------------------------------------- This driver will allow you to update PGA TOUR GOLF 486 to allow native UltraSound support. PGA TOUR uses a modified version of the AIL 3.0 drivers and this patch will replace the SBLASTER.DIG file contained in the PGA486 directory on your hard drive. Sound Blaster(TM) Emulation for UltraSound MAX v0.10(Alpha) (MAXSBOS.ZIP) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - MAXSBOS is a new improve version of SBOS that will only work on the UltraSound MAX cards. MAXSBOS makes use of the full 512K or 1024K of memory (Continued next message...) ----------------------------------------------------- Paul Malcolm Tech Support/Sysop Advanced Gravis Computer Technology Private email: paul.malcolm@gravis.com Tech Support email: tech@gravis.com Fidonet Add: Paul Malcolm - 1:153/978 12/23/94 17 --- ~ CMPQwk 1.4 #9048 ~ Proofread carefully to see if you any words out. ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 23 Dec 94 17:48:27 From: paul.malcolm@gravis.com Subject: Just to let you know TO: gus-general@mail.orst.edu (Continued from previous message...)

Outlook -------- The Company's fourth quarter is traditionally its strongest selling season. The success earlier in the year of the Microsoft Flight Simulator/Advanced Gravis joystick bundle has led to the introduction for the upcoming quarter and fiscal year of several new action and sports based software titles bundled with joysticks and GamePads from Advanced Gravis. These new bundle programs have been structured so as not to negatively impact the Company's average gross margins. Broad critical praise for new products combined with optimistic industry projections for sales of personal computers for home entertainment use hold the promise of continued strong revenue growth and profitability for Advanced Gravis.

However, some of you have mailed me saying that it works fine, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. GUS is on port 220, DMA 5, and interrupt 11. I've tried other settings, but they don't change anything. The test sample cuts off after a half second. In the movies, a skip occurs every few seconds during which the sound cuts out (with a bit of static) and the video sometimes jumps. In combat, voices are garbled and SFX are erratic. On the Victory, the background rumble cuts out every few seconds even if nothing is going on. This looks like an interrupt problem, but as far as I can tell all of my settings are fine. What is everyone else using? Thought it was my Mitsumi at first (using interrupt/non-DMA transfer), but the movies play fine with sound turned off. I have a 486/33 16M, full HD install, Stealth 32 VLB. I get a 25 for CPU (replacing it soon) and a 2 for video.

It gets a little crazy at the end of one of the songs, but it resumes as soon as it is done. But anyway, to get Transport Tycoon to run with the GUS, here is what you do: 1. Run install program (this is the hard part) 2. Select Ultrasound support 3. run TYCOON Easy, huh? 8') Sounds great. Uses your patches, I believe. There is an "ultramid" in the directory, but I didn't run it, I just went ahead an ran TYCOON, and it sounds great! Great Midi Music and SFX! Way to go Microprose!

The game has GUS support, but only for digitized sound and not for music. The long awaited update for the game was supposed to be released by Christmas '94, which would add GUS support plus a lot of other changes. Unfortunately, the patch is being delayed until January because of problems with GUS support. Just thought I'd let you guys know. ..
