Should there be an inherent reason why (at least with a specific game and on XP), more than stereo wouldn't work when audio "hardware acceleration" is disabled in Windows? It's because on Win9x and XP not only EAX and A3D extensions but 3d positional audio itself requires audio hardware/driver …

I do not want to be a party killer, but none of the core libraries of Bass are open source. They are free to use (to a certain extent), but not open source. Ian Luck never released the source code of Bass or Bassmidi libraries. In the download packages you can only find the source code of example …

There are better diagnostic utilities out there, but MSD is the only one that shows a PC system memory map (that I can recall). I think Checkit is even more advanced than MSD since it can give you raw dump/vendor string if you press enter on a given memory area. Filename checkit_rammap.jpg File …

Well, maybe nitpicking, but saying that it puts the CPU into protected mode while it's really V86 mode is wrong. Why? Because it makes a huge difference. In V86 mode, memory above 1 MB can still only be accessed by a page window. In protected mode however you have linear addressing for the whole …

EMM386 puts the CPU into Virtual 8086 mode, not into protected mode. That means that DOS can run within protected mode, if a program switches to that. Root42 is right. V86 mode is a submode of protected mode. You cannot have V86 mode without switching the CPU into protected mode. V86 mode means …
