OK, so I'm still kinda new to the whole emulation thing, but I'm getting the hang of it, and my old DOS-fu is slowly coming back to me. I'm currently trying to get Designasaurus II running properly, because it's still one of my favourite games of all time - I learned to computer on the IBM P/S-1, and Designasaurus II was one of my favourite games for it. I found a copy on some abandonware download site, and it runs, but the sound isn't right. Instead of the cool music and varied sound effects I remember, I get a few basic tones and bleeps. I'm not 100% sure if this is an issue with DOSbox or the game files I downloaded. I still have the original IBM Discover & Learn II pack of games for the P/S-1, but I currently don't have anything that can read the disks apart from the P/S-1 itself, so there's no way of comparing the files on the P/S-1 to the ones I downloaded, but as far as I'm aware there was only ever one version of the game, so I think it's DOSbox. At a guess, I'd say DOSbox is emulating a less capable soundcard, as if the game was running on a system that can't handle the cool sounds. Is there a way to make it behave like an IBM P/S-1 soundcard?
