I read something pertaining to this in another thread, I believe... is it possible to use VDMS with Dosbox? I may have read wrong.

There is no point in doing that, DOSBox has it's own SB emulation.

I agree, but it doesn't have the same Roland MIDI emulation, so far as I can tell.

And it was just a question, so chill.

Although the Sound Blaster emulation can be far from accurate at times.

Using DosBox:

*Panic Demo by Future Crew - DMA Misaligns and so it switchs the music from speaker to speaker.
*Unreal Demo by Future Crew using Soundblaster Pro in it's start up - Echos the sound multiple times in the speakers.
*Space Quest 4 MS-DOS Disk Version - Bottom Part of sound chopped off makes it very tinny.
*Freddy Pharkas Frontier Pharmacist CD Version - Only effects SFX and Voicing emulated incorrectly causing Static where there shouldn't be. No SFX or Voicing comes out as a result.

Those are the only ones I notice have problems that have ONLY (except SQ4 but it is the best sounding) Soundblaster Support. And Dosbox can't do it.

**VDMSound on the other hand can do it for both Space Quest 4 and FPFP CD but it does a horrible job on everything else DosBox does right.
(VDMsound does not do demos very well)

Demos are tough because they hit the hardware and hit HARD.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Just be patient. DOSBOx is in constant evolution.
