Out of nostalgia, I pulled out my old shareware compilation CD and copied Rise of the Triad: The Hunt Begins shareware from it. I can get sound out of the game in SoundBlaster mode, but I'm having issues getting music to work with anything that sounds more sophisticated than the OPL3.

1. When I choose Ultrasound, It kept saying that the IRQ is invalid and to run setgus.exe . Said program does not exist for me, and afaik the IRQ and DMA is valid. The card'a EEPROM has been changed using iwavecfg as per Vogon Wiki's advice to use only 240H, IRQ7 and DMA 6+7 for maximum compatibility. Prepgame has been run, and the only change it made was upgrade dos4gw.
2. When I choose AWE32, it only gave me the 220H-360H memory location range. The AWE64 config is stock (220H, IRQ5, DMA 1+5, E-Mu at 620H)

Any way to get either cards to work at full potential? Is there a newer version than the one on my almost two decade old disk? Or am I stuck with OPL3 music?
