Since Creative have taken the EMU Legacy pages offline, its not longer possible to get hold of for example OS updates for various devices such as the Proteus 2000, MP7, EMU Ultra etc. I am making available as much of the old material as possible here. Let me know in the comments if there's anything that's missing. Don't blame me if anything doesn't work (but please do let me know)!

I have a copy of patterns2500.zip which contains the patterns and songs for the 2500. it's 289k so I can email it if you want to post it here. I alos have Proteus (1,2,3) and ProCussion manuals.
Thanks for helping the E-mu legacy stuff.

Cheers, I have added it.
Hi,
it appears to be a sysex load/dump bug related with the 2.26 version of the OS of proteus 2000.
Do someone know if this bug is ONLY related to MIDIQUEST softwares or it applies to ALLSYSEX softwares out there?
Thank you
Nicolas
Do you have the latest version of the midiquest software? I believe there were some sysex changes between OS version 2.24 and 2.26 so if you don't have the latest version of the software, perhaps that could be the problem.
Hi Francis,
today I found your website with your E-mu legacy support. I have a question please: the E-loader software seems to have been made for Apple Mac computers - does it also run on a PC/netbook with Windows XP SP3?
Many thanks in advance -
best wishes,
Alex.
There are two versions of the loader - one for mac and one for PC. This link is for the PC version which does indeed work with windows XP. http://francisfisher.me.uk/emulegacy/PROTEUS2k/E-Loader_1.1_Install.zip
Creative have not stopped providing access to files for legacy hardware. Select "non-PC hardware" hot link on Creative's support page http://support.creative.com/Products/Products.aspx?catid=237 or go straight to the E-Mu/Ensoniq downloads at http://www.creative.com/emu/support/downloads/legacy/ where one can find all the documentation and firmware updates that were created while those companies were still viable. Thank you, frankster, for all the work you put into collecting and providing these file links in your post. I haven't made a line by line comparison, so you may well have all the E/E files here. I am downloading all those available from Creative, just in case. I did the same with Apple's legacy download page (over 1300 files, one at a time, re-stored in their appropriate sub-directories; I always suspected I might be mad, and that Herculean task might be proof of the pudding!) People say what goes on the 'net stays on the 'net. I agree, but only for those parts of the 'net not controlled by corporations. For that, we individuals must bank and safeguard precious data, before it is lost in thoughtless acts of storage reclamation or spiteful denial.
Yep, fortunately Creative have put these files back online now. Hopefully they will stay up forever (but I shall keep these copies here just in case!). Perhaps you could give me a list of the files you have downloaded and I could check that I have everything?
What file is version 2 or higher for the Proteus 2500?
Thanks
I have added Command200.zip which was missing.
NOTE: reinitializing will overwrite the RAM with factory preset data. If You Have Any custom presets be safe to back them up!
To Reinitialize a Proteus 2000 family unit back to Factory Specs do the Following:
First turn the power off. Once You have done this:
1) Hold Both CURSOR KEYS (Arrow Keys) down and turn on the POWER at the same time. Hold the cursor keys Until the unit boots up test in the DIAGNOSTICS menu.
2)Let go of the CURSOR KEYS. Turn the DATA WHEEL to the right Until you see as the INITIALIZE USER DATA menu choice.
3) Press the HOME / ENTER button twice.
4) Upon completion of the reinitialization process you should see in the display 'Calibrate Knobs'. If you wish to calibrate knobs then press Home / Enter twice and follow the directions in the display. Otherwise turn the unit off and on again and begin using it normally.
Now all the factory preset information is restored.
can somone please put os 2.24 for proteaus on here.I have looked and can only find 2.26 and 2.21.I would like the recommended 2.24
Hi Francis,
recently I encountered a strange observation regarding the sound behaviour of my Proteus 2500. Sounds have a rather unusual tremolo that I cannot influence (tried many things to track that down already).
Do you have a fresh OS 2.0 for Proteus 2500 ?
Can I dump the OS 2.0 direct into the Proteus 2500 via E-Loader (you sent me the Windows version before)? or do I need another file, named commandprep10.dli? (if you have it, pls send it to me as well)
Many thanks in advance!
Yours, Alex from Berlin.

Re: Upgrade to OS 2.0: download fail (HOW TO SUCCEED!)
Posted By: adrian.gay Sun Mar 25, 2012 10:09 am |
I just had the same problem trying to upgrade an MP-7 that had OS 1.31. The
solution is to first download the bootloader "commandprep10.dli", even though
the E-loader documentation says this is unnecessary. Then download the version
2.0 OS. All working fine now for me.
EXCUSE ME, SIR!
WOULD YOU PLEASE GUIDE ME OUT THIS PROBLEM( I CALL IT "DUMP SOUNDING PATCH SET RECEIVED") ?
WHEN I USE MIDIQUEST XL 10.5 ON PC TO LOAD PROTEUS 2000 FAMILY FILES SYX/MID DOWNLOADED ON INTERNET INTO MY EMU TURBO PHATT (UPDATED OS V2.26), TRANSFERING WAS COMPLETED SUCCESSFULLY ! I HAVE GOT ALL THE NAMES OF ALL PATCHES IN SET IN THE USER SECTION OF THE TURBO PHATT. WHEN I PLAY EVERY USER PATCH THAT THE TURBO PHATT RECEIVED( VIA A MIDI KEYBOARD), WHAT I HAD GOT IS JUST A TOTAL SILENT SOUND PATCH SET! ( MIDI CHANNEL = 1, SYSEX ID = 000 CHECKED!)
HOW DO I SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
DOES EMU RESTRICT THE CROSS TRANSFERING THE SOUND PATCH SET SYX/MIDI FILES AMONG THE PROTEUS FAMILY MODULES?
THANKS FOR YOUR KINDLY GUIDE!
Correct - the patches rely on samples which are in a particular sound bank. Different proteus modules come with different rom sound banks, so in general you cannot copy patches from one Proteus module to a different one. It would require the sound rom to be placed into each. So for example if you put a proteus 2000 sound bank (the composer rom) inside your turbo phatt, then you would be able to use patches from the proteus 2000 in it.
THANK YOU SIR SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELPFUL GUIDE!
NOW, EMU HAS STOPPED ROM PRODUCTION FOR AGES, SO OUR ROMS-ESSENTIAL NEED CAME TO THE DEAD-END! OH-HO!
Hey,
Everytime I try and restore the EMU images to floppy, I get an error 9 in the DOS prompt, the floppys are fine, tested, going mad here, cant find an answer anywhere, anyone help please?
I've been told that there's a way to upgrade from EOS 3.x to 4,x for the e-64.
But by replacing the ROM; is that true, and if so, where could i get a hold of the required gear?
Thanks!
hello, i have e-mu mp7 1.10 and i m looking for "commandprep10.dli" and i don't find
help me please
Hmm that file is also missing from the files that Creative have put back online. It is supposed to be available at http://www.creative.com/emu/support/downloads/legacy/download.aspx?d=40, but when I went to that URL I got a page not found error message.
If anyone has that file, please let me know and I will put it up here.
