Talk:GUS Music in Dosbox
I have been silently watched this wiki for ages but This GUS audio sounds iteresting. I have the steam version of tftd and in my dosbox.conf I have gus=true
And reading the todo section about having a command line interface to set sound. If you add xcomutil you get a picker for changing sound.
Perhaps we should have some sample sound clips showing with and without GUS.

- It's been a while since I used XComutil, does it now allow access to the audio setup? -NKF 07:50, 18 August 2013 (EDT)
- Yep, you get a startup menu with follwing items:
1. Run XcomUtil Setup 2. Play X-Com 3. X-Com Sound Setup 4. Command prompt (REM:ed by default in the modified terror.bat file) U. Uninstall XcomUtil X. Exit to Windows

I just changed x-com tftd to use Gravis Ultrasound and the difference is huge! however, it seems to disable the movie-cut scenes and instead shows the picture-slide cutscenes. I'll try upload some Youtube samples.

Some samples showing GUS in action:
Feel free to use em on the main GUS-page - Harre 04:05, 21 August 2013 (EDT)
- Cheers for that. I'm right in the middle of updating everything again, so will stick those in.
- On your movie cutscene issue, try making a blank file in something like Notepad and save the file as cdspeed.dat and store it in your Sound\ folder. The animated sequences use their own recordings of the music so won't be affected by using the GUS. -NKF 05:16, 21 August 2013 (EDT)
- Your new update looks neat! Good job! However the cdspeed.dat file-trick didn't help. It seems that having sound effects configured to use GUS disables the animated sequences as setting just sound effects back to soundblaster and keeping GUS for music gives animated sequences and GUS-music. I didn't notice any difference in having GUS for sound-effects so that setup is a working workaround. - Harre 09:11, 21 August 2013 (EDT)
