If it's MIDI that is being played through an external software synthesizer (such as the one built into Windows which DOSBox uses by default) or external hardware synthesizer then DOSBox will not be able to capture it because DOSBox is not the one producing that audio stream. If you want to capture …

From what I remember, Apple's big issues with C64 emulators was booting to a BASIC programming prompt because they didn't want end-users to be able to write programs of any kind on iOS devices. DOSBox doesn't have that problem.

What is the source of the music for those games? MIDI? CD audio tracks? Are you playing from real discs or from ISOs?

Yeah. I also had trouble getting USB-MIDI working because M-Audio was dragging their feet on releasing 64-bit Vista/Win7 drivers for my interface. I ended up buying a different one from E-mu/Creative instead (I felt dirty but at least it worked). Now I have 2 USB-MIDI interfaces. Maybe I should hook …

I remember running Quake on my AMD 486DX4-120 and it performed poorly but was mostly playable. It was really one of the first games that pushed things into the Pentium era, just like Doom pushed things into the 386 era by being one of the early games that used a 32-bit only DOS extender. I did …

Maybe try running CCleaner's registry cleaner. ADDiCT: Sounded familiar to me too, like something that had come up a couple years ago maybe.

It's probably not possible to get MIDI daugtherboards working in Win7, as Microsoft removed support for DB15 joystick ports due to the performance hit from having to poll them. As a result, Creative dropped all support for the whole joystick+MPU401 subsystem of their cards. I found this out the hard …

I'm almost positive that my either my SB PCI128 and/or my SB Live X-Gamer came with 2, 4 and 8MB SF2's, and that they had MT-32 patch sets built in on an alternate bank number that could be switched to via MIDI commands. I also had an SF2 from a third party that had *only* MT-32 patches in it. I …

You can create shortcuts to DOSBox that specify different dosbox.conf files depending on which game you want to run, and each different dosbox.conf file can have different settings and commands needed to run the corresponding game.

What video hardware does your netbook have? I have an Acer Revo R3610 box (using it as an HTPC) with a dual-core Atom CPU and nVidia ION GPU and it ran Duke Nukem 3D in DOSBox 0.74 at 320x200 with no noticeable choppiness when I tried it a couple weeks ago.

I'm just forum staff, not a DOSBox developer. I think it's a reasonable idea, but the DOSBox devs are much more conservative about what gets added to the base build. You should make a recording of PoP2 and post it... I gave up on playing with softsynths around 5 years ago after I bought real SC-88 …
