hi @Wunderbar98.. at least i have sound on DOS games without using DOSBox or something

i need 1 correction: the screen only use 2D(X, Y) and not 3D(X, Y, Z)... so how can i create the perspective? is these math correct: PosX2D = PosX3D /(FocalDistance+PosZ3D); PosY2D = PosY3D /(FocalDistance+PosZ3D) ? i have seen several tutorials and seems that they have their own Perspective. understand these, i can create my own polygon and move front-back, and left-right.

can i use the 'SBEMIXER.EXE' if my DOS sound driver is VMDSound?

can i change the sound volume on MS-DOS games? seems that the midi volume seems low on all MS-DOS games... how can i change it?

heres some steps: 1 - install Windows 98 with these MS-DOS command 'setup /pi'(or it will give you errors and not install... i think that will happen when when try detect the drivers) not use Windows 98 UBCD, because it will give you some errors more late... use the official installation); 2 - after copy files to disk, before 1st boot and driver detection, we will get the black screen or memory error... because we have more than 2GB's of memory... for resolve it we use 'PATCHMEM - Win9x patch to use up to 4GB of RAM' : https://archive.org/details/PATCHMEM ; 3 - now we can install the windows 98 without problems; 4 - now we need the drivers... for we get the ID's we use HP System Diagnostics: 5 - and heres some drivers for Win9x packs: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/06/driver-packs-for-windows-9598me.html and https://archive.org/details/UltimateWindowsDriverPackforVistaxp9895me20002003 both links are very good; 6 - now we need audio driver: http://www.sierrahelp.com/Utilities/Emulators/VDMSound/VDMSound9x(Alpha).html (1st use install.bat and see if vcredist is installed... now add the dosdrv.bat shortcut on startup)... and use too the setblaster: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/04/dos-sound-blaster-setter.html. i'm speaking on both, because seems that it's the best way for work fine; 7 - now we need the USB drivers: http://startup.retropc.se/win98.html please descompact the 'NUSB36e' and search the driver for get the 2.0 ; 8 - for NTFS we have several places: https://archive.org/details/ntfsdosand98 . now remember that some external disks need more power, and it can freeze the Windows; 9 - on http://startup.retropc.se/win98.html we have the SP3... please install only the core main updates... because it can change several things on Windows and some maybybe will not work... please use only core main(autopatcher is good, but it will reboot the windows several times and we must use several times the mem patch); install the IE6SP1 first; 10 - on these steps, if we see the black screen, on boot, or an error message, use the mem patch; 11 - for turn off the computer we need the ACPIOFF pack and patch for win 9x / 3x(only works with SP3 or autopatcher or both(please install the IE6SP1 first) : thank you so much for all to all. if i miss something, please tell me for i add here

heres the 'mem': https://imgur.com/a/4awn6o5 "Which driver? VGA 16 Colors?" vesa vbemp9x driver. the black screen happens.. seems that no matter what driver, the black screen will happen. now i must fix 1 patch for turn off the laptop thank you so much for all to all. now i can use Windows 98 normally and MS-DOS sound. thank you so much for all to all. (i must try change these topic title)

using another video driver, i get the same black screen... so the problem is the game or my laptop incompatible? but not arguments

finally i get sound: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=900 i download the alpha2. can i change the sound volume on driver?(not on Windows, but on driver)

'VDMSound ' isn't working.. maybe i'm using the XP version.. but i don't know i only get errors when trying enable the sound

"VBEMP" only uses 16 colors... more i will get errors "Joaquim, wolf4gw does not always automatically enable sound, when detected. You need to change the settings in the "Game's" sound options." on speaker, and only sound effects i'm trying get the VDMSound working... maybe your tips works

i found a new links: https://archive.org/details/VBEMP2010.06.01 https://archive.org/details/vesa_graphics_drivers_iso and the search: https://archive.org/search.php?query=Vesa+Video+Display+Driver+universal now i will test the 2010 version now i need a driver for MS-DOS audio(no luck for now)

"If you mean the links for VBEMP, try the middle [?] link. The first ones are dead." they seem dead too or i must delete the browser history

The sod4gw.exe works fine. But video driver not changed. The downloads links aren't working. At least i can play the game. Thanks. Theres the same type file for Jazz game? I must patch it for execute the game. I belive that is about CPU speed. Moderator: please change the topic title for: "how use windows 98 on modern computers?" Thanks for all

the Black Screen fixed and no video driver changed.. but not audio.. only speaker

test if the link is working

video card ATI Radeon X600 64MB's. thank you so much for that link. awkduck my CPU is 1.8GBz.. do i need a CPU patch for older DOS games?

awkduck: is WDM. how use 'VDMSound '? "In Windows, I've had a black screen issue running Wolf/Sod. I think it was the version of Wolf/Sod that I was using. Maybe try downloading different versions of the demo, then see it the issue goes away. Otherwise, you can try wolf4sdl and sod4sdl." yes i tried several versions without success

using setblaster: https://retrosystemsrevival.blogspot.com/2019/04/dos-sound-blaster-setter.html the Prince of Persia 1 and 2 have both sound. but not others games

damn i continue with audio problems on MS-DOS

Ok. I understand that i must use power for some external disk. Thank you. Wha i didnt fix, on DOS games, is the soun driver the Prince of Persia 2 seems working normal. Others dont have the background music only effects. The Spear or Wolf3D dont execute only black screen. Maybe is the audio driver, but i dont know. And yes i tried others versions too

AC'97: http://old-dos.ru/index.php?page=files&mode=files&do=show&id=3146 how i add the 'dosound' command on MS-DOS, when the MS-DOS is executed?

Is possible that disk is sata? Anotherthing that i realy need fix: you know that my audio driver is AC'97... but how can i get it working on MS-DOS? Theres is any patch for CPU? Yah my CPU is more faster

how can i see if is 'MBR' or 'GPT'? on Disk Manager, on disk properties, i see MBR. so i continue confused why win98 don't read it maybe because it's an External Drive instead Disk on Box?

I have 3 external drives: 1 is external and 2 are hard drives from other laptops. The 1 have 1TB and other have 500GB. These 2, internal disks on a box, works perfetly. But the other one make the Explorer give me an error.

i need more 1 correction that i had tested now: i have 3 external disks( 2 inside their box and other embeeded). the 2 inside their box are detected.. but not the other. if i'm not mistaken, the 2 disk are IDE.. the other i don't know. maybe it's SATA and that's why the Explorer give me an error? maybe i need the SATA drivers or something? (the disk works on other computer)
