- 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...
