Aviancer<p>Awesome! Got everything working correctly under Windows 3.1. Turns out the S3 driver set I got was the correct one after all and I got glorious 1024x768 with 32k colors mode working! 🎉</p><p>It actually ran way smoother than I expected especially compared to the generic SVGA driver, though I eventually had to drop back down to 640x480 @ 256 colors for Myst.</p><p>After some trial and error I was able to also get AWE64 sound working also, though I had to fool S64basic.exe installer that I already had a controller manager installed. Blasted canyon.mid with the creative soft synth before I tried installing Roland MPU-401 support - which my PCMidi card to my surprise was completely happy to be driven by, so I followed it up with the SC-55 MkII ^^</p><p>I find it exceedingly cool how the Win 3.1 midi mapper allows you to divide midi channels between different midi devices if you so desire. So you could have drums from one and the rest from another for example. </p><p>To top it all off we installed Quicktime 2.03 😂 and did our first foray into Myst, the goal of the whole exercise to explore its various mysteries 💕 Will be returning to it a little later!</p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Twitch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Twitch</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Streamer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Streamer</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/vtuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vtuber</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/enVTuber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enVTuber</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/DOSgaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOSgaming</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/windows3x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>windows3x</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Myst" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Myst</span></a></p>

Well, nothing is on fire, and all the capture cards are finally working, soooooo.

We'll be streaming Menage-A-Myst - Myst played on three generations of hardware:

1993 Myst on a Powerbook 3400c
2002 realMyst on a Dual Proc PowerMac G4.
2022 Myst on a Modern AMD PC.

Captured on original hardware and lovingly hand mixed in OBS, with just a twist of lemon and fire. NO FIRE.

We're playing til we finish.

Starting at 15:15 GMT.
