Alright, after studying everything i now have everything and it works. This is a sheet that explains in one thread how to make tex work. evrything is summed up to make it easier.
This tutorial is made for running The Pandora Directive work under windows XP with VDMsound
STEP 1:
First of edit the sounds.ini to:
sound inf:
[DIGI_BOARDS]
1) Sound Blaster 1.0 = 0xe000,0,1,1
2) Sound Blaster Pro = 0xe001,3,2,1
3) Sound Blaster 16 = 0xe018,3,3,1
4) Sound Blaster AWE32 = 0xe018,3,5,1
5) Microsoft Sound System {Microsoft Sound Sys} = 0xe00e,3,6,1
6) Ensoniq Soundscape = 0xe020,3,7,1
7) Pro AudioSpectrum = 0xe005,1,8,1
😎 Pro AudioSpectrum 16 {Pro AudioSpect 16} = 0xe006,3,9,1
9) Adlib Gold = 0xe008,3,11,1
10) ESS AudioDrive = 0xe01c,3,18,1
11) Gravis Ultrasound = 0xe025,2,19,1

16) SB Pro (No Verify) = 0xe001,1,2,1,1
STEP 2:
next edit config.ini to:
[DIGI_CONFIG]
BoardNum=2
IoAddr=0x220
DMA=1
Int=5
Volume=97
ReverseStereo=No
[MIDI_CONFIG]
BoardNum=12
IoAddr=0x330
DigiDrums=No
Volume=100
[SYSTEM]
LastPlayer=KENNETH
Pass=1
ChainInt8=Yes
ChainInt1C=Yes
WinMemReserve=0
Label=PANDORA
STEP 3:
now edit tex4.exe:
Get a editor for .exe files (HEX editor):
http://www.kibria.de/frhed.html
now modify offset 0x000BFB1C or 0x000BFAE4
and just change that from CLI (FA) to NOP (90)
STEP 4:
Download VMDsound (http://ntvdm.cjb.net/)
Get VDMlaunchpad and the latest version of VDMsound
to make a VDMshortcut, right-click for the drop menu and click on run with vdmsound
STEP 5:
on the VDMsound shortcut goto advanced and then:
goto compatibility:
turn on:
give it some XMS memory (1024kb)
enable DOSX
enable MSCDEX
keep ems, vesa, low level network support disabled
goto performance:
set on try to reduce CPU:
and set it to low usage
goto soundblaster:
enable soundblaster emulation
port: 220, IRQ: 5, 8-bit DMA: 1, 16-bit DMA: 5
dev: directsound
finally, goto Pandora.bat and enable compatiblity for windows 95 with no visual effects and 640x480
