| As an example of the performance, on Dosbox with the 386 core and 5000 fixed cycles (which in most estimates is equivalent to something like a 386 25-33MHz), the basic player with Judas will play an 8 channel module without issue in 8bit stereo. Depending on the complexity it can handle up to around 16 channels. Obviously with higher specification DOS environments (486 and Pentium settings) you can turn on higher quality output, play more channels etc. | As an example of the performance, on Dosbox with the 386 core and 5000 fixed cycles (which in most estimates is equivalent to something like a 386 25-33MHz), the basic player with Judas will play an 8 channel module without issue in 8bit stereo.

| | Used in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_Sound_System|many commercial titles]] back in the days of DOS, the author (John Miles) has opened up the sound system for anyone to use. |

| | Do note that there were many, many updates to the drivers used in the Miles Sound System over the years, and some games/manufacturers distributed updated drivers with their games, so the driver/sdk source linked above probably isn't an exhaustive list of all the supported sound cards. |
