![]() The latest dosbox combined with the updated D-Fend GUI and the latest CVS dosbox update offer a huge level of compatibility with dosgames. The SBLive is useless in dos on these machines.Īll this is really not necessary today with fast processors and the dosbox program. ![]() On these machines the motherboard resources set themselves up to hog the particular resources needed to manage expanded memory. Many newer computers will not allow emm386.exe to manage memory. The 8MB EAPCI8M.ECW was the best they made for the old Ensoniq cards and Creative never made any newer ones. They are on older SBLive cd's and also on driverguide. Make sure you get a copy of the Ensoniq wave sets. ![]() If you have an old SBLive cd you can install it to a 98 system and copy the files to a cdr. The files needed are on or a preconfigured set is on the MAME website. You can also do this with a boot floppy containing its own autoexec and config files, but it's less cumbersome to just use the Windows shortcut. ![]() I just put the correct lines into the custom autoexec and config files in the pif. ![]() Then I would make the correct references in the ctsyn.ini file that is in the SBLIVE folder instead of the Windows folker (as the newer drivers don't come with it), and make a shortcut to that would activate my cdrom, mouse (using the imouse dos mouse driver), and SBLIVE. However, I would install the needed dos driver files to a C:\SBLIVE folder and switch my default.ecw in the Windows folder to the EAPCI8M.ECW file (by renaming default.ecw to EAPCI2M.ECW and EAPCI8M.ECW to default.ecw). This gives horrible WDM dos implementation within Windows. The way I used the card last, I would install the newest cd that does not come with dos drivers. SB0200 series like my SB0224 work fine in MS-DOS as long as you install the Dos drivers. ![]()
