OK.. here's a list of the known problems - please don't write to me about them!
|
||
|
|
||
|
1) Apparently, many problems have been encountered with QEMM... I really
|
||
|
don't know what's going wrong here at the moment (I haven't had any
|
||
|
experience with QEMM myself), but try using the following line in your
|
||
|
CONFIG.SYS file. If this still doesnt' work, I would recommend that you
|
||
|
steer clear of QEMM if possible for the meantime.
|
||
|
|
||
|
DEVICE=<path>\QEMM.SYS DMA=64, HANDLES=255
|
||
|
|
||
|
2) With the GUS, 16-bit samples > 256k will *NOT* be played correctly. This is
|
||
|
due to a 'quirk' of the GUS - something that I don't know how to easily fix.
|
||
|
This does *NOT* occur with 8-bit samples. (This is the same problem that
|
||
|
you'll find in FastTracker II also)
|
||
|
|
||
|
3) The "Active Channels" indication is *NOT* always 100% accurate (it's
|
||
|
even affected by stuff played in muted channels.....) Also, on a GUS or
|
||
|
AWE32, the program requires the hardware to provide the 'end of note
|
||
|
indication', whereas the mixing routines are calculated internally...
|
||
|
hence, if the hardware provides the indication a little later than expected,
|
||
|
another channel is allocated - what this means is that the value as played
|
||
|
on wavetable cards *MAY* differ from the value played on software-mixed
|
||
|
cards. This difference is minor (ie. 2 channels at most, unless you *TRY*
|
||
|
to setup a special situation)
|
||
|
|
||
|
4) There is no 'enforce Amiga limits' option in IT (Which was in ST3) so
|
||
|
pitches of notes exceeding the Amiga limit will not be suitably played.
|
||
|
|
||
|
5) If your system behaves unexpectedly in IT, it *MAY* be necessary to
|
||
|
specify the complete parameter list on the command line. This should NOT
|
||
|
be a problem in most cases, but it has been known to occur.
|
||
|
|
||
|
6) In Windows '95, if you shell to DOS when using SB on a high IRQ, then
|
||
|
playback may stop! I've got no idea as to why this happens, but it seems
|
||
|
to restore itself after loading another module (on a SB16)
|
||
|
|
||
|
7) If you Shell to DOS with insufficient memory available, WEIRD things may
|
||
|
occur...
