Hello Forum!
I'm looking for a vintage PC hobbyist interested in running a DOS program that plays high-quality audio through a PC speaker.
Context: I'm a vintage software hobbyist writing graphics/sound/other software using 20-30-year-old programming languages/compilers for fun. I wrote an assembly program that plays a high-quality digitized music sample loop (5-second intro section of Free by Ultra Nate) through the speaker, and it sounds amazing and almost unreal on emulators such as DOSBox, 86box, and Qemu. I would love to know if this program works and sounds the same good on real hardware, but unfortunately, I don't have one.
If you can run the program on an XT/286/386 machine, record sound from the speaker on your smartphone or other device, and post the sound/video file back, it would be fantastic!
What you get: +1000 to Karma, a good mood from the music, and an understanding of how much the old hardware is capable of
What I get: satisfaction from knowing how my program sounds on a real PC
The archive with the .com program that plays the music is attached to the message.
Thank you!
