D:\3DREALMS E:\3DREALMS If the random warez copy I found is any indicator, blood.ini references absolute paths, so when you fixed it did you change to new absolute paths, or tried using relative paths (might not work)? Tried reinstalling in DOS? Also as for the "low resource" thing seems like it's …

I also want to point out I don't get the same splash screens in dos that I get in windows. It's like it's playing a low resource version of the splash screen. Any help is appreciated. Are you sure you're running the same exe file? Yes, it is the same exe file. It's the same install, I just have …

I recently got a copy of Blood 1 and was wondering if there is a way to get its cutscenes working in MS-DOS. They work fine in win 98, but I find that the game over all runs better when playing in DOS and non 640x480 resolutions work better as well. It's version 1.0 if that has anything to do with …

I just tried PowerDVD v4, it mostly works. I get some choppy frames here and there and can't really figure out what is causing it (probably a hardware limitation, I'm thinking either the sound card or the GPU). Here are my specs: P3-540 Mhz 640 Mb of ram Viper V770 (Nvidia TNT 2, 32MB of ram) ESS …

Hi, I've been trying to setup a way to watch movies on my old win98 pc. I currently want to try using VLC 2.2.8 (newer versions wouldn't work, this one does if I run it with the default compatibility settings in KernelEx with the core update) Watching videos from file, or trying to listen to audio …

I think it would be easier to buy a new soundcard with the midi out joystick port. So another es1869 (is there a difference between the 1869F and the 1869FC? haven't found anything anything) unless there are compatibility issues I'm not aware of.

I don't have the exact model number, but it's for a compaq deskpro en p550 minitower. Here are some pictures of the board and the part stickers.

I didn't see one, but I may just not know what to look for.

Hi, I'm trying to set up a midi emulator (as shown in Phil's video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRyPjvbDkvg) and am having issues with output. I have an es1869 in my retro rig, but it's integrated into the motherboard, and doesn't have a joystick port. I have a Gamecard III automatic …

I finally got it to work! In order for dos games to play music, I had to completely disable the card in the bios, then I ran the ESSCFG. Now adlib works for every game when running in dos. The only difference I found was that the bios would not let me set my dma1 to 3, it kept defaulting to 0. This …

is esscfg supposed to keep running after it's run for the first time? It doesn't show up when I type in mem /c.

Bios settings and what dos says after running esscfg and essvol (or rather the go.bat file that came with the driver here on vogons) Edit: Noticed it's a little fuzzy, the audio line says IO:220h IRQ:7 DMA0:1 DMA1: 0 MPU401: 330h

What parameters do you set? I have tried esscfg multiple times and it has never worked. Maybe there is something I have to setup in bios?

ESS Audiodrive cards are usually hassle free with all DOS games, just use pure DOS and ESSSET and ESSVOL. If I am not using an AWE32 or a GUS, then it is usually ES1869(not ES1868) based card, I really like the added 3D effects, and you can adjust them from pure DOS. ESSET? I've seen esscfg and …

Win98 detected the card and installed drivers automatically.

I've been having issues getting this program to find my card. I have an ES1869 card that's been integrated into the motherboard (old compaq deskpro) I add the parameter /CL and it returns two dots, I type in /R and it says it hasn't detected a pnp card. The card works fine in windows 98SE, however …

Ok, I have been trying for days now to get an ES1869F audio drive, which has been integrated into the motherboard, working with DOS. When using the card through win 98se, it works fine. In dos, however, I cannot get it to play music for any game unless it plays it directly from a CD (with 2 …
