My God, that startup sound.
-
Hahaha, I love how DecTalk after all these years still works like that. Atleast, from using Moonbase Alpha, it used the same TTS system and the same commands (including singing).

Is this a good build? Msi 970 Motherboard 16 GB ram 1TB SSD Intel core 17 4930k processor Geforce GTX 690 Video card. Windows 95.

Have you ever thought about doing a reflection-type video where you describe your history with the Ultimate DOS Machine? (when you first built it, what made you want to build a DOS machine, how you acquired the components, etc)
-
Audiostation playing midi files is my happy place.
-
Wow. My school used to use that Sound Blaster 16 sound (CTMELODY.WAV) as the startup sound on one of their computers. I thought I'd never hear it again. They used to have the computer always at max volume so it was really loud when we turned it on.
-
SB16 MIDI is the OPL3 YMF262 midi and the AWE64 MIDI is the wavetable midi.
-
What was the song that you played during the midi demonstration?
-
0:42 - awesome sound :>
-
That DecTalk program sounds remarkably similar to the Text-to-Speech feature of Moonbase Alpha.

Nice vid. I think you have to reconfigure your zdoom installation to get it work (see the first part for that). While you at it why not replace your floppydrive with the gotek floppy emulator its like the floppy emulator for the mac bit this one fits in the 3,5" drive bay. Your floppy images are stored on a usb drive (this works also with the 98 machine). Well i think that ill make a nice part three or maybe a nice and funny video

You inspired me to start making some of my own videos. Thanks. Keep up your great video there funny and informational. I just Uploaded one Playing MP3s in MS-DOS using Digital Sound System (DSS) :) My retro dos rig Specs CPU: PENTIUM OVERDRIVE 83MHz (486 UPGRADE CPU) RAM: 32 MB HDD: Removable Compact Flash Card (2GB for DOS 6.22, 4GB for WIN95, 8GB for WIN 98) Creative Sound Blaster 32 with 8MB RAM upgrade BASE10 ETHERNET for local file transfer in windows to network storage.

So, back than vocaloids were in form of PC speech synthesizer cards? Well, to be honest, it sounds more like the FL Studio vocoder, but still, good to know that this tech existed back then too.
-
Realistically anyone who watched video on their computers in the 90's (very few) did so using an analog TV video card, the quality was just fine and the computer could keep up considering there was not my CPU processing happening
-
Whats the sound on 0:26?
-
goose bumps Holy shit, the last time I heard that bootup sound, I was a little kid, starting up the computer of my brother, who actually had a sound card! That was 20 years ago??! Where can I get this sound??
-
Have you thought of installing Windows 95?
-
I really don't want to be that guy, but first! Also, great video!
-
Love the old voices:D

Hmm, if you can find a thing called a SIMMCON you can stick up to a 32mb 72-pin SIMM on your AWE64 and get 28mb of RAM for soundfonts... Or you can find an AWE32 and stick two 16MB 30-pin SIMMs on that since the SIMMCON is basically impossible to find.
