Introduction
------------

This package contains the following files:

the banks into your UltraSound installation directory.


What's New??
------------

VERSION 3.04b (Beta)

* Fixed a bug in protected mode Roland emulation which was preventing
  certain LucasArts products from working properly.

* Improved DOS4GW auto-patching.

* Fixed a bug in the Sound Blaster emulation. Now Magic Carpet and
  other games work better.

* Added check to make sure emulation is working correctly to catch any
  hardware conflicts.

* Added -L (enable line in) and -M (enable mic in) for people who don't
  have Ultramix.

* Fixed a bug in the UltraMID emulation which caused some applications
  to crash when playing back 8 bit samples.

* Fixed some small bugs in BUILDPATS.

* SBOS and old versions of Mega-Em can no longer be run with Mega-Em
  loaded.

* Volume controls now work properly.

VERSION 3.03b (Beta)

* First release of the all-new, rewritten Mega-Em. Emulates Roland
  Sound Canvas/General MIDI/MT-32, Sound Blaster and UltraMID. Improvements
  over older (2.xx) versions of Mega-Em include compatibility with most
  protected mode software, interactive setup, single executable, better
  sounding patch set, faster loading time, allows UltraSound software to
  run at the same time as Mega-Em, automatic reloading of patch set when
  necessary, automatically unloads when Windows is run and automatically
  takes advantage of extra hardware (the 16 bit record/playback CODEC) on
  the UltraSound MAX. Sound Blaster music (FM) support is not included.
