I have recently cobbled together a PC from some components lying around the house/office for playing DOS/Win95 games, as Win2k on my main PC was giving me heartburn ...
I am glad to say that I have got the dreaded X-Com: Apocalypse working perfectly 😁
I am now tackling another of the old "favourites" ... Crusader: No Regret. By rebooting from Win95 into DOS mode I can get it to install and play but there is no sound - it won't even detect the sound card and locks up if I try to set the IRQ/DMA etc manually.
The sound card is an Ensoniq AudioPCI 64V. I have scoured the usual places for drivers and found a set that works perfectly for Win95 and under a DOS prompt. However, the card still won't work after rebooting into DOS, even when I edit the autoexec and config files to point at the various drivers.
My question is: Does anyone know of a way to get this sound card to operate in "true" DOS mode under Win95?
I suspect that the answer is "no" and I should just try and get my hands on a basic Sound Blaster card with simple DOS drivers. Does anyone know where I could get such a card?
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum ...
