I will try to get some tutorial videos up over next week or so. And hopefully release a GUI only/Not G9K version at the end of the month.

Sadly my GFX9000 still doesn't work with all the monitors I got here. Can somebody suggest a working monitor please?

Does anyone have the Symbos version or driver to use with the V9990 Powergraph Light in CPC?, I have been searching and can't find anything, thanks :)

I hope we will have a working "sound daemon" available for SymbOS during the next monthes.
First I thought about using PT3 as the base player, but I think Arkos will be the best choice, regarding PSG?
Alternative sound device for the daemon will be the OPL4.

If you are making a sound daemon, can one part of it be a set of standard sounds like Windows 3.x has, Alert, Startup, Shutdown etc so that different systems with totally inflexible or bad sound systems can still have something even though it might be system specific, e.g. a PCW without sound card for example, it could still beep.

Windows sound events was so boring. People tend to turn them off.
I think that no sound is activated by default on modern OS.

I totally agree - but, it's better than no sounds for systems with crappy sound - it let's someone initiate the appropriate sound no matter the delivery.

Yes! That was always a dream! :P Even if it's not cool anymore today I still want to have this as an option. So the sound deamon would have three jobs:
- provide system sounds (play FX for a set of predefined situations)
- provide the ability to play a tune
- provide the ability to play app specifix FX

Been following the MSX development thread for the TRH9000 prototype https://github.com/cristianoag/trh9000

Looks like development is still going on there but still sourcing the V9900 is an issue

Should get my hands on an AMSDAP42 to support this if/when it happens
CPC464/GT64, CPC464 Plus/CTM640, 2 x CPC6128/CTM644

Just on a thought... because I was playing with the music player in Symbos.  If you were to allow jingles, why not just allow them to go through the music player?  Load it hidden if it isn't loaded, and if it is already playing something, don't play a sound - because someone is listenting to something for a reason.  This means we could assign full length songs if we wanted - but also just small mini jingles if people wanted to create them.  And not a lot of extra work for you (just the list of events in a GUI and matching songs to launch the existing player).
