I'm messing around with a HP t5730 thin client which as you could imagine has it's quirks i was assuming Windows would provide the necessary sound emulation for me to play all the DOS games i wanted from within Windows but without the OPL it's a bit of a deal breaker. I've been also playing with …

Sure, here you go! There are 2 audio devices, but I assume, that sound for speakers is going from HD audio one. Filename HD_Audio.png File size 27.87 KiB Views 416 views Filename Display_audio.png File size 24.25 KiB Views 416 views

I tried it on my ThinkPad T430 and it's working beautifully. Tho I found out that at least on this notebook it isn't working with CuteMouse 2.0, but with 2.1 it's working just fine. And also, like mentioned in this thread previously, Tyrian won't work, not even its setup.

Those are WDM drivers however. I specifically wanted to use VxD drivers, which I was not able to get working with 4CoreDual-SATA2. Anyway, doesn't really matter tho, since I replaced SATA2 board with VSTA one and on it, everything works as I want to. Thanks for the testing however, it's much …

MTCP is way, way simpler than modifying SMB config on Linux or editing th registry keys in Windows to support the old insecure lanman Auth. For me on my NAS, it's a matter of changing value in one drop down menu. And since I'm using SMB on modern machine too, it's the most convinient setup possible …

The thing is (at least on my side), that I like to relive those old games in a best way possible. Therefore I'm glad, that with today's options, I have much more powerful HW, and games are running with great speed. And also I like to experience games with best possible sound possible (MT-32, General …

Hehe... it really depends on how you look at it. As a child of the ‘80s and ‘90s, to me FM (and even PC speaker sounds) will always sound ‘better’ when it comes to DOS games, since that’s what I grew up with. :-) I would say, that FM sounds "right" to your (and mine as well, since I definitely …

Dreamblaster is a modern alternative so not what the "developers intended" but may actually sound better just as you may prefer turning up the bass in a song even though this isn't how the musician intended it. It may or may not sound better then what was intended, but it most certainly would sound …

Just to be clear: the goal is to run the Steam Client and upload the system into the hardware survey. So any alternative or illegal Steam build is out of the question. If it runs any of the games isn't important. Yeah, that should work, if you'll have a luck and Survey will show up. It did for me …

Yes, ATI cards lacks 8-bit paletted textures and table fog. Because of these reasons, I would go for MX 440, especially, if you're aiming for Windows 98.
