Using a SBLive! with 3.0 driver and supplement patch from vogons. I recently installed the Dos driver again so it can be used under dos and now Win98SE.
I was building the config and autoexec files to my liking but also created a batch file which allows me to enable/disable the config,autoexec by renaming to *.fff or back to original. Got that working but when disabling the files I noticed a new autoexec is written with SBLive! settings during bootup.
Reading further I seen renaming the ctsyn16.drv would stop the autoexec from being built on every boot. This does work but breaks windows dos gaming.
Example is carmageddon 1/splat pack. I usually play it in windows under dos and works for a race or two then crashes. Now disabling the ctsyn16.drv will cause carmageddon to not even start in windows.
The only reason I installed the dos drivers was to try to play carmageddon under pure dos but also have issues doing that as under dos it won't start and just has a black screen.
So is there another way to disable the autoexec from being built each boot? If not I'll probably just uninstall the dos drivers and deal with the eventual crashing of carmageddon under windows dos.
Under Pure dos I think its a voodoo 3 thing even using the patches. Carma.exe runs. Voodo2s.exe/Voodo2c.exe/Carmav.exe will always fail though. Using a dos4gw of 2.01a doesn't help either.
TIA!!
