does anyone out there know which zip file sbos3.7b is in and where it is available. Also is there a general compatibility list available of gus settings for different games.Finally are there any demos of gus 3dsound floating about out there.
thanks a lot

Subject: Questions about SB with GUS
Hello GUSers,
I have decided to buy a sound blaster to go along with my GUS. I have
decided I want true downward compatiblity. I was just wondering how
I go about making them cooperate together. I figure if I do this
it will make my life alot easier instead of pulling my hair out
trying to get emulation from SBOS or Megaem. I'd be very
appreciative for any help.

So what are you trying to say? <G> Naw, I forgot to add a "for me" at
the end of those lines, sorry. "I" want MegaEm's DAC instead of my SB16-ASP
(which is MPU-401 for added MegaEm flakiness).
Which brings me to a question: Have you updated to 3.xx on your GUS? If
so, have you had any trouble with extremely slow patch loading? (Playmidi
and such load patches very slow when the SB16's in, but fast when it's
out...)
Later.

Subject: SB + GUS + Mega-Em + X-Wing/Tie Fighter
Is anyone else using a Sound Blaster (1.0 or whatever) in conjunction with
their GUS?
I had the combination working fine before I got the latest Mega-Em.
(Well, I don't know how many Mega-Ems ago it was working, as I haven't had
a new game since X-Wing last spring and got tired of playing the old games
again and again until I got the Tie Fighter demo last night...)
Anyway, when I try to use Mega-Em to emulate a Sound Blaster (to get
better quality) then it totally craps out in both X-Wing and the new Tie
Fighter demo.
There's no physical conflicts between the two cards except the DMA channel
on the SB which is not set-able...
I can play both of these with digital effects with the -SBOFF option and
EMUSET -L to use the real SB in the system, but I'd really rather use the
emulation since it sounds better.
If anyone else has an SB and a GUS in the same machine, please e-mail me
and we can compare notes. I still haven't gotten 100% of the kinks worked
out of the combination.
I haven't spent much time diddling with it, since I haven't had a new game
in so long.
(Well, Quest for Glory IV, but I STILL can't play it after two different
