You'll probably want these patches from lucas arts: http://support.lucasarts.com/patches/patchdetails.asp?Selection=12 VDMS needs the Roland patch (even if you are using the CD version) if you want music. If you have any other problems, you might try the following program: http://www.mixnmojo.com/ …

I could be wrong, but newer video cards lack support for some older fonts and modes used in some DOS games. My GeForce Ti200 works fine with Jazz Jackrabbit, but some fonts are fouled up in SimCity (original DOS - no sweat, I picked up the Windows version cheap) and some other games, and it does not …

Here's the message, as best as I can retype it: "Unable to initialize and configure emulation module 'Joystick Controller' 0x80004004 - Operation aborted Could not locate the configuration property 'MapFile' in either of the [Joystick Controller.config] or [*.config] INI sections (see C:\QUICKA~1\ …

quickandeasy does the job, with one minor problem. In order to work, quickandeasy apparently needs to be installed on the c: drive, or at least the same drive as VDMSound. It also give a joystick error (no problem, just click continue), and in SamNMax, gives an "Unplayable" error referencing heap …

That's not how it works. The batch file for the game sets the working drive as the local hard drive on which the game is installed.

I tried using the files from the sam.exe that someone here linked to at the lucas arts site, and following the …

I've Jazz Jackrabbit 1 (demo version) and Xmas Jazz to run smoothly with VDMSound. First, install the 5/2002 update for VDMSound. If you use the VDMS launchpad (recommended), under the "Performance" tab, check "Try to reduce CPU usage and set it to "Low Usage". Then, in Jazz Jackrabbit's soundcard …

IMHO, if your talking compatibility of a PCI soundcard with the old ISA Soundblaster, you've got the best card (SQ2500). The Aureal SQ2500 has hardware support for SB compatibility and DOS mode, i.e., no drivers are required (although a program does load your setting into memory (if I recall …

I'm currently using XP, with NTSF (converted from FAT32). VDMsound works on DOTT, but, with or without VDMsound, I can neither load nor save games on my hard drive. Attempts to save games on my hard drive (DOTT is installed on my C: drive) give a disk full error (I have 6.5 GB free space). The load …
