Welcome to PowerYMF software new home page! PowerYMF allows you to tweak your Yamaha YMF7x4 soundcard, based on one of the following list of chips: Many variants also have the SB-Link connected, and if not, it can be added through soldering a few pins and adding a few resistors. Under pure DOS, there is no wavetable, however an external MIDI device can be connected to the gameport.

Like with all PCI Sound Cards, compatibility does depend a lot on the motherboard chipset, especially the south bridge, but there are modified drivers for various chipsets that you can try. But more impressive is the compatibility in pure MS-DOS.

The real strength of the YMF744 is the DOS compatibility (for a PCI Sound Card), and the authentic FM sound, thanks to a proper YAMAHA OP元 implementation.ĭOS games work from within Windows, and there is also a very decent General MIDI compatible wavetable support. Under Windows 98 the YAMAHA YMF744 has compatibility with 3D APIs such as EAX and A3D, however it must be said that a Sound Blaster Live! will do EAX better, and an Aural Vortex 2 will do A3D better. The Sound Card shown in the images below is the AOpen AW744 II, a typical PCI Sound Card with the YAMAHA YMF744 chip.
