Exactly what i needed, thank you! Using this in UTM (qemu) on my iPad to play dos games on hotel layovers 😀

What other features? Which drivers are those?

I ordered one of those modern waveboards, dont remember its name. So when i add it i need to pick general midi instead of sb for music?

Got my Terratec Promedia (SOLO1-N) and it works perfectly in DOS. Thanks a lot for the help! I have a bit of a soft spot for the ESS cards. Great FM and DOS compatibility on cards that are NOT overpriced. Quality of ESS cards can be a bit hit and miss though. Some have lots of noise or bad builtin …

I had no idea a different soundcard by brand could work better with a specific chipset especially considering we’re dabbing with emulation and not native stuff. Anyway a day ago i ordered an Terratec Promedia TTSOLO1-N, ES1938S just to try a different brand. Does ES1938 vs ES1938S make any …

Today i updated the BIOS to the latest version, no legacy, PnP or IRQ options appeared. I disabled all unnecessary onboard devices to free resources like ports, built in audio etc. During POST neither IRQ 5 or 7 is shown as occupied by anything so i assume they are free. Then i tried all possible …

Im so sorry for not mentioning but i already tried DMA 7. I cant find that setting in my BIOS though. Any idea where it would be on an ASRock P4VT8+? I think i really checked everywhere, too new mainboard?

Not a bad idea, check it please.

Any known gotchas or anything with these boards? Can i just plug in a ISA soundcard and go? Or does that PCI to ISA bridge require any workarounds?

Hi, over the past few days i've experienced lots of problems with sound in DOS and im just thinking of replacing my ASRock mainboard to one with ISA and simply putting an ISA soundcard in it. Has anyone tried this mainboard or perhaps an MSI MS-6551? It seems to have Socket 478 (P4), AGP 8x and both …

Thanks, found a good deal on an S3 Virge. Would it be a bad idea to try to get Duke 3D and Quake running in DOS mode on the P4? I like the 486 and i ideally dont want a third box.

I removed half the RAM, only 512MB in the box now and Windows now boots fine with the autoexec.bat and config.sys edits so thanks for that however DOS issue still remains. After restart with F8 and "Command prompt only" i can see the sound card being initialized. However if i try to setup Duke 3D …

Hi, thanks for the quick response. What do you mean by make an assessment on hardware regarding the video? I would like to get the "right" one immediately as i have a retro system up and runing already (The P4) so i am in no rush just to get it working at all. Any specific model that is known to …

Its a P4 2.4Ghz on an ASRock mainboard with a VIA chipset. 1GB RAM, Geforce 3, Creative Vibra 128 and standard Win98 installation. Maybe the best solution is to partition the disk and install dos 6.x natively in multiboot? At the moment what im trying to run is Duke 3D which works but obviously no …

Hi, Im just starting out with some old hrdware to play classic games. At the moment i have a P4 with a Geforce 3 and Creative Vibra 128 with Win98. This box is used for „newer” games like Commandos at the moment. But i also want to play for example the DOS 16 or 256 color version of Monkey Island …

By F8 you mean the command line-only option? I accidentally added the sound drivers to that default autoexec.bat once and it caused Win98 not to boot because of low memory. Makes me unsure about which autoexec and config to actually edit.

Hi, I have a CT-4810 with a "Creative CT5880-DCQ" marked chip on it. I am trying to make it work in WIN98 "Restart in DOS Mode". I tried a driver i found online but it didnt work and im really struggling to find the correct one. Can someone please advise?
