Hey all,
So I'm working with an old rig I'm setting up to play some older DOS (and eventually Windows 95) games that I miss. =)
I've got it mostly working - first game I'm looking to play is Wing Commander I. The MIDI is decent as is, but I know it can be a little better, so I got myself an DB60XG daughterboard (clone made by NEC specifically).
My first problem is the fit is...odd. Most pictures I've seen show daughterboards run parallel to the card quite nicely. This runs vertical, and there's no way the case will be able to close (but the pins seem correct, and it is definitely a WaveBlaster port). At any rate, it does plug in okay.
Unfortunately, the card doesn't appear to *do* anything. I'm using ESSCFG.EXE as my DOS driver, and sound works fine, but I'm hearing no difference at all with or without the board, so I don't think it's working, and I see no way to initialize it (as from what I'm reading, these don't require drivers). Any ideas what might be wrong?
Also, can someone verify something - can you use the joystick port while there's a card in the WaveBlaster slot? I read somewhere that at least on SoundBlasters, it's either/or. (I did try it without a joystick to see and it didn't seem to make a difference).
Thanks for any help!
