Mockingboard and IIGS #9

Closed smarinel closed 2 years ago

smarinel commented 2 years ago

Back again - the gold update is working well but I have tried the game out on my IIGS and found that trying to select the Mockingboard audio causes a crash. This apparently was a longstanding problem with IV and there was a patched version made at some point.

I found some resources with the patch. Would it be possible to have a version of this build that worked with audio on the IIGS?

Do you have an actual Mockingboard card in your IIGS? Support for the patch you mentioned was added already, see issue #6.

If you don't have a Mockingboard (or compatible device) you're out of luck. The native Ensoniq sound chip in the IIGS is not supported by any version of Ultima IV that I'm aware of.

I do indeed in SLOT 4 and it works with Berzap but trying to activate it in U4 just causes everything to hang. Wasn't sure if that patch was included in the most recent program disk I downloaded with the money fix.

For more details based on reading your previous solution - this is a ROM 3 machine with the card in Slot 4 and it set to MY CARD in the control panel.

After reseating the card again in another slot it work works like it did on my IIE. Sorry for the confusion and posts.

Glad to hear you got it working!

I would have expected it to work in Slot 4 though. If you ever move it back to slot 4 and find that U4 still does not work but Berzap does, I'll dig into what Berzap is doing differently so I can fix it in U4.
