You know there's an open source remake of Transport Tycoon Deluxe called OpenTTD that runs on modern operating systems? https://www.openttd.org/

Is there a "Boot other device" in the BIOS? Try enable if so.

As my 9700 Pro wouldn't run in my XP 2400+/A7S333 setup I had to bench it in another computer. Radeon 9700 Pro (an early one I bought just after launch) Pentium 4 3.06GHz HT (from a Packard Bell) Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (bought for overclocking Pentium M's with phase change back in the days) 2x 1GB …

CMI8738 only works with digitized sound in pure DOS mode on very old games (the ones that don't need DMA?), like Wolfenstein 3D, The Games: Winter Chllenge and Gods. FM synth usually works and sounds nice.

Neat build and a neat board - I remember playing around with one of them years ago, and had a PT880-based board (AGP only though) for a few years that was fantastic. Out of curiosity, have you tried AGP + PCIe together in that board? I've often wondered if that'd work on those kind of boards, but …

I agree. 😀 Thank you and the others who made this great piece of software. Also tested it on a CMI 8738 based PCI card, it detects MPU but not Sound Blaster. But the 8738's DOS support is bad from the beginning.
