MX300 gameport performance report.

4 posts by 3 people · 06 Feb 1999 - 07 Feb 1999

I just installed Diamond MX300 soundcard and now the Trembling Arms in GPL are almost gone. I was expecting best performance with Direct Input and Monster Sound II gameport driver, but the joystick driver doesn't seem to make much difference. Previously I have used Soundblaster 16, CH Gamecard 3 and Diamond S90, but the MX300 works best. It was however very difficult to install. Do a search in Dejavu News with "MX300 install", if interested.

Jari, I agree with you about MX300 gameport performance. I had a SB16 before too, and my GPL performance is much better now. Just curious, do you get any static or pops with the sounds in GPL? I do. zzz

Now i have a digital MS Sidewinder wheel, I can junk my SB16.:) Yeah, I do too I get static or pops? And i cant get my own engine sounds in F1RS. I can here all the others cars. -- Gadget???. http://www.i-r-gadget.freeserve.co.uk UIN 862812 Please remove the "NOWT" from email if replying. soz bout tha speeling.
I get no static, but the sound is different from what it used to be with Diamond S90. The pops are more noticeable, but they do not sound particularly "snappy". I have tried only Murasama so far. >Jari, I agree with you about MX300 gameport performance. I had a SB16 before >too, and my GPL performance is much better now.
