Win 98SE Voodoo3 3000 SoundBlaster Pro 2.0 52X IDE Drive (NOS) I installed the game just fine under DOS. The installer recognized all my components just fine as well. When I load the game through DOS, as soon as I hit enter after typing GKCD the disc starts spinning and everything just goes black. …

Update: I think I have the games running smoothly. I had to turn off Disc Audio in Quake II (cause there's no audio), and I tweaked Quake 1 and it seems to be running OK except the missing audio making the game stutter. How does this work? Everything I read relates to posts on Steam. Do I need to …

I appreciate the help fellas. I never owned a PC back in the day. Part of the reason I'm into it now. Always wanted one. But sound cards are my Kryptonite. So I guess I need to locate this Soundblaster Pro 2 software.

I see a few SB Pro 2 card drivers posted over at the Vogons Driver library. But I have no idea if any are what I need. I'm also not sure if I have to install drivers in Win98SE and DOS seperately, or if I only need to install drivers in windows. Help would be MUCH appreciated.

Weird thing happened. Somehow I actually got it to work. I decided to make 2 sets of floppies for the game. One .img set made in Magic ISO, and one .IMA set made in WinImage. I installed the first disk with the WinImage disk. The second Disk wouldn't work with the WinImage set, so I had to use the …

Big part of the problem is I'm new to this. I'm just trying to go by the Phils Computer Lab GOTEK video tutorial. On there he would copy paste regular files like you mentioned. However, for floppy images he would right click a directory and "write" them. To me this seemed like the same concept as …

Update 3862.5: Managed to write Disk 1 and actually get a install screen. I installed these files on Disk 1 of the GOTEK. deice.exe game.1 game.dat install.bat That got me as far as completely installing Disk 1, and being prompted to insert Disk 2 and hit Enter. So I did that and it did not work. …

Well.... messed around with this for like 3 hours today and made little to no progress. Tried WinImage and MagicISO. Both of which I am pretty certain can do what I want, but I can't get it working. So saving a game.1 file in WinImage as an image file does not work. The problem I am having is that …

So you're using the original Gotek firmware still ? If yes, you can try creating you own floppy images using WinÍmage. Open it, klick on "new" and drag your games files into it and save. After this, you can write them to the Gotek. But beware, the original Gotek software is very restrictive in …

I actually think I have my GOTEK set up properly. I used the tutorial from Phils website to get it all prepared. Setting up the USB was a breeze. At this point I know I have to right click on one of the 99 directories in my USB, and simply "write image" instead of just copying files. My issue is …
