Hello,

I´m using a wide range of old computers with MS-DOS.

Some use GM cards and others only SB or compatibles.

When I installed DOS-BOX on my ASUS eeepc (with Win XP) I was wondering if i could use the sound card emulation codes used with DOS-BOX with a computer that runs original DOS.

for example: I have an 486 DX/66 with MS-DOS 6.2 and an SB16. When I load the sound card emulation codes as a memory resistance programm, will it be possible to run GM sounds from my SB16 like DOS-BOX does with the AC97 chips on Windows based computers?

thanks for your help

DOSBox uses the host's MIDI device or emulator

No you can't as there are no emulation "codes" that can be placed into msdos.

OK, thanks for your help.!

the reason why I asked was that I thought to install MS-DOS on my eeepc (which runs fine when I boot dos from a USB-Stick). But of course there was no possibility to run music or sound in the games. (eeepc uses a sound chip that isn´t sb compatible).

thank god - dos box is around which runs fine on this computer
