It might work if the controller were supported by generic device drivers...which it doesn't.

Generic boring? YOU CAN SHRINK!! FPS games released with a shrink gun since Duke3D = 0

KYRO isn't good with bilinear filtering precision. Play Operation Flashpoint and watch that ground block and jitter!

Re: SB AWE32 sounds.. How?

If you want to hear a very close approximation to EMU8000 midi on Awe32, get Fluidsynth (i'm not sure if that's available as a midi driver for OS X, but it isn't for Windows XP (unfortunately :()), and load 1MGM.SF2 into it. From there in your DOS games, pick MPU-401 or General MIDI for your music …

Interesting take on the graphical route.

Any MMX or SSE optimizations in mind? Are you even going to emulate the characteristic Voodoo dither and all the switches? Emulating the Voodoo1 in software is already an ambitious goal.

I still wish emulating various BIOSes were possible, just for the novelty of preserving BIOS setups and things like that.

Could there be a 'volume control'ish interface window or tab for the mixer command?

It's not fixed. You're running a DOS game in XP. FYI IE integration became mandatory in Win98. Win95 did not come with IE4 enhanced desktop until OSR 2.5, but then that's presented as a choice. You could have also used 98lite to get a IE-less shell into your wincolon.

What are some? The oldest I can think of is Test Drive 3 (headlights) and Another World. I'm talking DOS games in particular. There's probably some earlier arcade games that do too but I can't think of any.

try setting joystick to none in dosbox.conf, perhaps a crappy laptop peripheral is mistaken as a joystick.

The game wasn't ever mentioned, so i'm assuming it's C&C Red Alert, which sucks on most 486s compared to its predecessor.
