but you said >using sneskey /x, all the buttons worked perfectly fine so its not a wiring issue. You might have keyboard controller that doesnt support injecting keystrokes, so PAD works, but cant inject anything in DOS I've rewired the adapter back to its original state. Now sneskey /x works again …

Injecting keys under windows is supported by the OS so no problem, and SNESkey https://arcadecontrols.com/Mirrors/www.csc.tntech.edu/~jbyork/default.htm appears to have windows version of the driver. Now I was under the impression under DOS it would not be reliable, but reading SNESkey readme it …

can this be done with directpad pro under win9x without using dosbox? that is to say, does the windows command prompt have joystick support in the same manner as emulating a soundblaster and mpu401?

what game? Mainly Prince of Persia , also tried Hexen . Neither worked. is sneskey a driver which is supposed to inject keyboard keys when pressing pad keys? I think it is. This is very problematic under DOS. Most dos games will read keyboard by communicating directly with keyboard controller and …

if you run DIAGNOSE.EXE it will report the version , it's part of the DOS drivers DIAGNOSE.EXE says it's v4.13, but I'm very confused now because I have another card which is an AWE32 CT3990, which has a v4.13 DSP too.

No. ESS cards never supported WSS, the manuals are wrong. At best, you can get their native AudioDrive mode working in some DOS games, which will give you 16-bit sound. Thanks, got it.

I'd go with Sound Blaster Live! for this motherboard. Even if this is a mediocre choice, I think most other cards would be even worse for the purpose of DOS-gaming, and for Windows 98, it is superb. Other choices might give you real OPL, but a lot worse Sound Blaster emulation. Thanks for your …
