The nice thing about Ghost 10 is that also includes Ghost 2003. Ghost 2003 from my recollection is the fastest Ghost for XP. And Ghost 2003 also can be booted from floppy. I used to visit a site called radified that had a lot of discussion on Ghost.

RayeR's tool worked for my YMF-744 also. I prefer RayeR's tool since it finds your card and memory address for you so you don't have to worry about accidentally writing to the wrong address in case you swap your card out in the future. EDIT: Ruthan, I believe I can't get NOVME switch with Jemmex …

I finally got SPDIF output working with my YMF-744 under pure MS-DOS! 1. Download Curtiss-Wright Graphics - Peritool and unzip to your MS-DOS hard drive. 2. Find your Yamaha sound card base address (RayeR's SMB.exe, Craig Hart's pci.exe, Intel pciview.exe, etc.). 3. Add 0x0018 to the base address …

In Windows 98, I was able to find where the 0x0018 value to enable SPDIF, referenced in the Linux source code, gets changed when toggling SPDIF on with the Yamaha control panel applet. I used a shareware program PCItree to determine this. The modified value is in the "BAR 0 memory range", which is …

You have to download the MUNT source code from github and compile it first. Then you can compile dosbox ECE. It has been a while since I did it because I'm still using Dosbox ECE r4122, so I don't remember the exact steps.

I recommend Dosbox ECE because it has integrated Roland MT-32 (MUNT) and General MIDI (fluidsynth + soundfont). You can see in the dosbox status window which midi backend is being used. In the dosbox config file, you can put mt32 or fluidsynth in the midi device section. If you use fluidsynth then …

Okay, I found the gold_sdtk file. Copy the FAT-OPL3.BNK from Master of Magic as OPL3.BNK and overwrite the included OPL3.BNK. Then open ed.exe in dosbox, and in the file, open menu, you can see each melodic and percussion timbre.
