awkduck Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 (edited) Seems there is some, progressive, work on a Dos SoundBlaster emulator (real/protected). This is what the SBEMU project page says: Quote Sound blaster emulation with OPL3 for AC97. Supported Sound cards: Intel ICH / nForce Intel High Definition Audio VIA VT82C686, VT8233 The VT82C868 & ICH4 are tested working on real machine. ICH & HDA tested working in virtualbox, not verified on real machine yet. HDA tested working by community. Emulated modes/cards: 8 bit & 16 bit DMA (mono, stereo, high-speed) Sound blaster 1.0, 2.0, Pro, 16. Requirements: HDPMI32i (HDPMI with IOPL0) QEMM (optional, used for real mode games) There are more recent, beta files, found on a well know legacy computing forum. Github seem to have an early release. I don't see this being useful to Win9x. But it'll probably be useful to people, who use Win9x Edited May 27, 2023 by awkduck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it'll probably be useful to people, who use Win9x If someone wants to use it with Windows 9x, then you need to make a boot menu it seems so that certain files only load in DOS. SBEMU Windows 9x Driver installer (with config text example): https://archive.org/details/sbemu-windows-9x-setup There are many computers with Windows 9x audio and video drivers, but without DOS audio support (Sound Blaster etc). This driver changes that and makes many such machines better retro machines :-D So I agree its useful for people using Win9x even thou it doesn't work in Win9x! Also what can be done with access to so much CPU power in DOS gaming? DOS gaming with software video mode in 4k with OPL3 (emulated) sound on a 5ghz CPU? hehe :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
