They don't work on old motherboards. Most PCI cards will do those are overkill. The Rage XL cards do work with a simple voltage mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gbyv4wI0v0s&t=0s . I actually did the even simpler diode mod that the comments suggested and it works great. There's no better 2D/3D …

What is your soundcard and what drivers are you using? Just guessing but perhaps MechWarrior 2 doesn't like WDM drivers and needs a VXD driver to work?

Aztech AT6800W (AZT2320 chip) Windows Sound System issue

I installed my AT6800W using the drivers I found here: https://www.helpjet.net/Fs-34638782-17890554-54863026.html as normal AZT2320 drivers didn't work as this card is a sound & modem combo. The drivers installed fine in Windows 98SE, but they didn't create the AZTPNP.CFG file properly for DOS …

You can also get one of those Belkin GamePort DB-15 to USB adapters. They actually do work as long as you connect pin 2 & 7 on your joystick with a small wire first.

I am leaning away from the SB AWE and more toward something with an authentic OPL chip on it. Keep in mind the SB AWE can route their FM through the EMU8000 chip to add reverb and chorus. It makes FM sound completely different and quite awesome in my opinion. I have cards with genuine OPL3 and …

It looks like one of the things it's doing is trying to initialize the sound card. Perhaps the startup files listed in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys are infected.

Thanks so much for the continued responses! I had previously tried using playlists in the various DOS MIDI players and didn't find that to make a difference. I tried the new DosMidLt.exe with the test1.m3u and it did modify the instruments on the S2 in some way, but not in the way it's supposed to. …

I made some progress in DOS. I tried GSPlay and it didn't work either, but then I tried Midier which did properly change to MT32 instruments in DOS! Unfortunately it seems to only apply within Midier. I can exit Midier, start it again and the MT32 changes are still intact, but if I use any other DOS …

It sounds the same before and after I run MT32.bat, and stays sounding the same if I run GM or GS batch files. The listed instruments also stay the same in DOSMID, the main theme …
