Re: [Request] Intelligent MIDI interface (MPU-401 or compatible)

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I would like to add my voice to this feature request also. A native MPU-401 option would make life much easier when setting up games that don't work with the SB PORT. SoftMPU can be dreadfully slow.

MPU-401

Is there any way to select MPU-401 independently as the sound card without having to rely on Sound Blaster for MPU-401 output?

If you use Windows 10, press Win+G, remember PCem to game application.
And you can use record(Win+Alt+R) on PCem.
It saves to Videos/Captures directory when recording.
Whoa! Go Microsoft! I had no idea Windows 10 could do that.

Are DVD images/discs not fully supported yet?

Sorry if it's been addressed before, but are DVD iso images having issues? So far I've tried three different iso files and none of them are being recognized properly in PCem. Physical media is also having trouble reading files.

The weird thing is that, if at that point, I switch to a DX4/100, this does not reset PCem and the loading finishes successfully. That's exactl...
