Is there any way to get this to work in games?
I can play the music in the built in CD-player of Windows 98SE but can't hear anything when playing games.
I'd really prefer not to use the original CDs in my retro PC (mostly due to noise of the CD-drive) and rely on emulation instead.
I don't recall ever having a problem with this, but I might be mistaken, are you mounting the .cue file? I stopped doing this because my Win98 machine won't see my new NAS drive and I had some issues with programs refusing to run because they saw Daemon Tools running.
Yeah, I'm mounting the .cue file.
Someone asked the same question earlier today
Playing Backups of Games on Windows 98 with CD Audio
Screw period correct; I wanted a faster system back then. I choose no dropped frames, super fast loading, fully compatible and quiet operation.
This will only work with wdm drivers, and usualy only on newer pci soundcards. (SB 128 live, etc...)
If you want to use redbook audio with ms-dos games, sadly you still have to burn the disc for it.
I wish someone would make a hardware based cd-rom emulator with redbook audio support. (with analogue audio out)
Sadly I doubt this will happen anytime soon. (I might have look into this after I finish my midi projects)
One workaround I've seen people do is have two soundcards, one for MS-DOS, one for windows. Have the line out for the dos card go into the line-in for the windows one. This will allow redbook audio to work with MS-DOS (in windows), but not games will like this.
