Hello,

I am trying to get Turrican 2 working with a SB Live (SB0100) but in vain. It throws an error stating that V86 mode is in place and that it requires no EMS to run. However, SB Live requires EMS to be loaded for DOS emulation. Could someone please help on how to get this one working under SB Live? Thanks!!

Intel 845GEBV2, Pentium 4 2.4 Ghz, Geforce FX5600 256MB, 512MB RAM, 160GB HDD, Sound Blaster Live! SB0100 - Win 98/XP

It seems that game uses 8086 Real Mode, which can't use EMS. So then the sound drivers won't work.

You'll have to use an older system with an ISA soundcard to get this to run. Maybe there are PCI soundcards with legacy drivers out there, but the SB Live isn't one of them.

PhilsComputetLab recently did a video on a good DOS compatible PCI card:
