The PicoGUS 2.0 is the Only DOS Sound Card You Need!

This is everything you need to know about the PicoGUS 2.0! This is a terrific sound card that can reasonably handle any of your DOS-based sound needs. It can emulate the Gravis Ultrasound, Sound Blaster, Adlib, MPU-401, CMS and Tandy 3 voice. It is a project that is in a beta state but it is updated all the time and will only get better with time!

Apologies to my British viewers for the horrible accent. If you want to grab yourself a PicoGUS check out the links below!

Great video! I will be renaming the project to Pico de GUSo effective immediately.

$45 is an absolute bargain ... ridiculously cheap ! I would happily pay double or more for this card.

[MadMac]

I've been waffling on getting one of these for a while, and this video convinced me to get on the waitlist for one. It's probably the most cost-effective way for me to get some hands-on time with a Gravis Ultrasound!

[Nuevo_El_Nagual]

I just joined the waitlist. I wish it had a SoundBlaster and wavetable support and the same time.

add scrap computing mt32-pi wavetable and you also have builtin mt32 and midi soundfonts. My fav combo right now :-)

[sedrosken]

I don’t necessarily think that the creators of these projects are exploiting the community at all, it’s just very clear that at the low volume these people can operate at the economy of scale is not kicking in. They gotta break even at least, but it doesn’t mean I have two hundred dollars or more for an Orpheus.

Just because it makes me laugh

Best engagement sequence ever for OMF - x200 subscribes and x1000 likes.

Awesome project of Ian👏 And 45$ seem to be a bargain regarding its versatility.

[mrburns]

The Pi Pico is probably more powerful than a lot of the PCs this card is going in. I think that's cool 😊

[rogiervanl]

Thanks for your video. I have the Picogus DIY, all parts and the PCB are waiting for me to install them 😊

[NdxtremePro]

Finding games that are said to be compatible but don't work for me is the authentic experience. Are your sure it is emulation?
That sounds just like how I remember it.

Thanks for the video! Regarding Descent, I had a similar problem when using Descent with an external Roland Midi device. It crashed during startup. After I downloaded a newer version from the internet it worked just fine. The version I am using now is 1.4a from May 2nd 1995. I do not have a PicoGUS yet, so I cannot confirm if that works but maybe it fixes your issue :)

[hlaPlaneta]

I just found this channel and I like it a lot! Great shots of the monitors as well! Would like to learn how you pulled them out.

[net_news]

with an optical output it would be perfect!

[Vanessaira-Retro]

Nice video! Also with Descent and GUS, did you install any of the GUS fix patches for it? I know I had to when using a real GUS on Descent.

[zombee]

that dancing while OMF music was playing ..LoL finally i noticed it

Instructions unclear, poured salsa into my computer

11:30: I guess did boost engagement. Wasn't expecting a impromptu dance sequence! 😹
