  • NEW: the COMPLETE SDK 2.0 now finally available for free




    PROGRAMs





    GUS PnP WDM-driver (15 KBytes) by FUDDT

  • GUS PnP WDM driver, works with Windows 98, ME, 2000 and XP without the need to pre-initialise the card prior to booting the OS
  • multiple Wave Client support via DirectSound software mixing
  • good DirectSound based game support
  • access to the MicroSoft/Roland's MIDI softsynth
  • General MIDI and Soundblaster emulation in a DOS window
  • mixer support for all playback "outputs", not for recording "inputs" (it allows you to record, line-IN is enabled)
  • this driver is released by the FUDDT (Free UltraSound Driver Development Team) and does not contain any Gravis sources




    GUS MAX Win98 driver 0.2 (24 KBytes) by Utopia Sound Division

  • it's a basic win98 CoDec-driver for the GUS MAX, derived from generic Windows Sound System driver
  • it gives you WAVE out- and input and DirectSound support on GUS MAX cards
  • the hack is a combination of version 2.31 of ultrinit (used to initialise your GUS MAX) and some minor changes in a setup file
  • NEW: now should work for win95 too, please tell the author if it works with GUS MAX cards <> rev 2.1 !




    GUS PnP Patchmanager 1.0 (598 KBytes) by BH-Software

  • wow, finally somebody did it: a nice easy to use GUI for the bank-stuff in the IW.INI!
  • you can add/del banks and single patches




    DUSC 0.5 (178 KBytes) by Deep Productions

  • powerful freeware commandline soundbank compiler for GUS PnP - use your own custom WAV's as MIDI instruments!
  • something along the lines of GIPC, main difference: it compiles the patches from text script files (lets you control NEARLY ALL IW features!) and ordinary 16-bit and 8-bit WAV files (incl. "sampl" chunk, means loop-points and stuff)
  • please give your feedback to the author!




    GUS PnP EEProm tool 1.3 (52 KBytes) by Kay Bruns + Ulf Loesche

  • another cool freeware from Kay+Ulf: your GUS PnP will only need one IRQ/DMA! And all devices still work!
  • prevents your IRQ and DMA consuming Gravis Ultrasound Plug'n'Pray monster from eating up your hardware ressources.
  • you can disable/enable every single GUS PnP device - it's magic if you have 3 soundcards + network card + ...
  • multiple card support (you'll get a config dialog for each GUSPnP you have in your system)
  • NEW: changed Look&Feel a bit + changed enabled IDE and GAME port PnP IDs to be compatible with MS




    GUS MPEG Audio Player 1.3 (228 KBytes) by Lee Teck Chee
    aka WildCat

  • plays Audio MPEG layer 1 and 2
  • 486 recommended for realtime (as usual)
  • can also decode the MP2 to file (slower machines ...)

    (flap / Capacala)

  • GUS mod-player, supports MOD, S3M and XM
  • full source and free libraries (CapaPlay2) in BASIC(!!!), PAS, C and ASM included!
  • NEW: nothing, author just want's to tell you that his email adress has changed and the project CapaMod/CapaPlay is not longer supported
