So most developers download the latest official release? Why would the CVS be linked on the dosbox.com website?

If using Vista then try installing XP video drivers and see if the game works. Can't remember what DirectX level Shadow Compant is but you may also want to try SwiftShader. SwiftShader 2.0

Just use RAID 6 and have a good backup (ESATA External HD's for "quick" restore) and you should be good to go. I have 6 1TB drives in my home server using RAID 5 but when I replace them all with 2TB drives I'll probably be going to RAID 6.

We can't tell you where to get illegal downloads here. I'm not aware of any places selling Manaic Mansion or Monkey Island. You may want to ask on the SCUMMVM forums where you can buy those games.

READ WHAT IT IS TELLING YOU. REALIZE THAT YOU ARE USING AN EMULATOR. DOSBox only runs DOS games NOT Windows games. Run WINDOWS games in WINDOWS or in WINE NOT DOSBOX.

It's usually either drivers or monitoring programs that can interfere with VDMSOUND. It's very rare that a Microsoft Update would cause an issue.

Restored my 98SE image today using Vmware Workstation 6.5.1, Virtual PC 2007 SP1 and VirtualBox v1.2.2. Guess which one I can't get to finish booting 98SE..... Yep, VirtualBox. Thought I'd give VirtualBox another chance with 9x. Looks like it still sucks for it. So yeah, stay away from Windows 9x in …

Supposedly ImgBurn can create .CUE files. Good thing about ImgBurn is that it's easy to use and it works in 9x and NT4 and it's updated often.
Re: Does VDMSound work under WinXP+SP3?
Posted on 2009-01-28, 16:43
You could download Acronis True Image, image your system and then install XP clean. Then test out VDMSound and see if you have the same issue. or try VDMSound in a VM but the problem there is most VM's have horrible sound quality. If you have an extra machine such as a laptop it makes testing things …

True enough, so I suppose it makes good sense not to have it as an official feature. I am a bit surprised if no one's patched it in unofficially just for PCs, though. Well most people like hearing better sound quality. Can't fault them for not wanting to listen to a POS PC speaker. When I owned a …
