Managed to get audio working on my retro system; TheRetroWeb didn't list any drivers, but did mention that the motherboard's sound chip was the Yamaha YMF753. from there, a quick search lead me to the Internet Archive where that very chip had drivers for XP and, lo and behold, they somehow still worked on Vista too!

I found the drivers at https://archive.org/details/yamaha-semiconduc … -website-backup, I feel it might be worth putting these on TheRetroWeb although I'm not sure how to.

I guess now all that's left is to track down a real 7600 GS or GT, since unfortunately I'm stuck with an FX 5700 LE instead. still enough to mess around and have some fun with, but it's below min-spec for Spore (it does run somehow though, albeit incredibly slowly and it lags even on the main menu) and I was hoping to be able to mess around with Spore on more period-accurate hardware.
...maybe once my current savings accounts mature I'll seek out one-

I have a 7600GS with 512MB DDR2 (passively cooled) from ASUS for AGP that I don't have a need for. Is that something you'd look out for? I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. Would have to check first again if it works fine (last time it id).
