Great video! I'm glad you like the card. You gave a good walkthrough on setting things up. I'll be releasing Sound Blaster 2.0 emulation for the PicoGUS some time this week. 😁
Hi, I would like to buy the card and support the project, but may I know if it’s possible for this card to emulate opl 3 and Soundblaster 16 in the future?
Hola Joel! Real GUS owner here. And PicoGUS too... still unboxed. That version of "Carol of the Bells" included in Jazz Jackrabbit Holiday Hare is just so incredibly special. Thanks to PicoGUS, and the energy surrounding it, now everyone with a legacy PC can hear it!
That’s awesome that you have a real GUS! I never was able to own one, but am so pleased there are good options like PicoGUS to go back and experience this awesome card.
Yes, my first soundcard in a computer was SoundBlaster Pro in my 386 Packard Bell. I haven't found a Pro for my collection yet, and with I had kept the one from growing up!
I thought about adding that, video was getting a bit long already, but I believe the sb 2.0 firmware has already been released so I might do a follow up video showing those two and maybe trying out the external midi support.
You should be able to download them from the PicoGUS GitHub. Here is thre latest zip. github.com/polpo/picogus/releases/download/v2.1.0/picogus-v2.1.0.zip
i dont think you can run the sound blaster emulation and the gus emulation at the same time. keeping a sound blaster in the computer is smarter. id like to see the pico gus move to a wavetable card so i can run it on my awe32(original release, non pnp) and use it for digitized music, and sampling; all the while using the awe32 for sound effects or whatever else the SB AWE32 could be doing at that time.
There are modern wave table boards to attach to sound card headers, I wonder if a pico based one might be cheaper. The Dreamblaster is around $80 I think.
@@joelexplorestech i know this, i own 2 of them the dream blaster s2 and the dream blaster x2, i want the gravis side of things for dos and mod file playback.
