Purpose of this thread is to provide ideas/software/fixes for a new version of VDMSound.....probably the final version of VDMSound....EVER!
INSTALLER ISSUES
* Old installations may not be correctly detected and removed
* Overwrites NT4 files with incompatible XP versions, causing NT4 to bluescreen on every subsequent reboot. atl.dll and msvcrt.dll. May also happen with WIndows 2000?
* PATH environment variable does not update correctly until Windows is restarted.
*%SYSTEMROOT% changed by VDMSound installer?
*Registry entries not adding on some installations, possible permissions problem?
PROGRAM ISSUES
* DiskWriter module causes an error in thread 0 ((null)).
* OPL3 emulation may generate incorrect sound.
* XP themes cause graphical anomalies in the Launchpad.
POSSIBLE ADDITIONS
*Include 9x version of VDMSound?
*Get rid of BETA status!
*Provide help on providing EMS, why there is no EMS.
*Include Vesa fix for VGA.sys http://www.nomissoft.com/newsflash.html
*Include the newest ver of NOLFB
*Remove any links referring to old VDMSOund page/forums to Vogons forum and sourceforge page...also mention DOSBOX heavily.
*Some games not running with the "CLI/POPF" fix option enabled ( is it enabled by default??).
*Launchpad help file? Use old version from 2.0.4
*Disable Basic VESA EMulation by default. Causes problems. (Enabled by default?)
*SapuCDEX
*DgVoodoo
*Solvbe
