Let's see, Atarian gave me 'em over the summer, they sound great...let's see, where's that link..

Ah, here we are!

http://jord.nm.ru/YAMAHA.XG.SoftSynthesizer.S-YXG50.Ver.4.23.14.WDM.for.XP.zip

I think this came out before ZDoom started using FMOD, not sure if that means anything, but FMOD might provide a different sound than from MS Wavetable....blah. Whatever.

Now to use it...let's see, I think I said somewhere how to use it...

There ya go.

you can also setup timidity++ ZDOOM Edition with some soundfonts or patches, but XGSoftSynth is BY FAR the easiest...just select the device under the sound options.

(Certian timidity setups will sound better than XG, but thats because its the CRYSIS Soundfont! O_O;)

ChexCommander · February 24, 2009, 01:04:49 PM

Heh, yeah, XG is definitely really easy to use.

Crysis, huh?

The link you gave me pointed me to this site...

O NO...403...
lemme try to find it again...

I went to my original topic, and found the thread:

2nd post. It works. I think the host keeps changing due to it being a bad host.

OS VERSION ERROR

Is there a vista-friendly version? Does it work in DOS possibly?

Manny Cav · February 28, 2009, 12:21:23 AM

This program was made way before Vista was. The Readme doesn't mention anything past XP, so I'm going to say that it's not looking good for you.

Atariangamer · February 28, 2009, 12:22:13 AM

Vista=nogo...it was designed for 9x, was tweaked for xp compatibility, and prolly has NO vista support at all...though compatibility modes, mebe?

and its not for DOS.

The Slimeinator · February 28, 2009, 03:18:04 PM

That's because Vista fails!

Laugh while you can, but when you get a new computer you might get something worse than vista.

it's the x64 that's killing me more than anything, why'd they have to switch?

The Slimeinator · February 28, 2009, 03:33:21 PM

When I get a new computer, it's getting XP.

Atariangamer · March 03, 2009, 04:44:28 PM

If I get a new computer, its gonna be Windows 7.

Manny Cav · March 03, 2009, 05:04:36 PM

Ha ha, I looked at this page, and there isn't a lousy thing on Chex Quest 3 at all.

Better get back on topic, I guess.

Atariangamer · March 03, 2009, 05:51:53 PM

Very little to talk about...

Manny Cav · March 03, 2009, 06:31:01 PM

Ah, yes. It would seem that both GZDoom and ZDoom, as well, now have full chex.wad and chex3.wad IWAD compatibility. This is really good. When Skulltag joins in, there will no longer be any reason for this "doomu.wad junk" that's been flying around since TUCQ's conception. Even now, mod makers that are making mods for either of these two engines should now take advantage of this and abandon anything regarding doomu.wad in their mods.
