Hello, i have a old laptop, actually a Compaq Armada m300 (P3 600mhz, 320mb ram, ATI Rage LT PRO PCI 4mb and the souncard frome the title)
I installed Win98SE and Daemon Tools for CD-Audio Games (actually for all cd games)
The drivers was download from here http://vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.php?fileid=1019&menustate=0
First installed the VxD drivers, compatibilty was fine (except for win native games that doesn't play cd tracks), but there some really old DOS games that got a very poor performance, like Another World, the three Alone In The Dark (AITD3 is fully unplayable) or DOSQuake
The fact is i got FM Chip installed, so i can play any game with SoundBlaster sound (Duke3d, Doom, Wolf3d, Heretic, etc.)
Later i installed WDM drivers, there is no much change really, just the poor performance is gone, the three AITD is fully playable
All DOS games are playable with cd tracks with no issues, the win native games too (aoe2, quake 2)
The only i cant get working is the FM Chip, because its not installed, so all the games with SB sound are playable without music (Wolf3d only with pc speaker)
if i put maestro.com in the autoexec with the WDM drivers i got this
"Incorrect resource assignment"
Looking in the installation files of the WDM drivers i found this name devices
"ESS Maestro2E PCI AudioDrive (WDM)"
"ESS Maestro2E Sound Blaster Compatible (WDM)"
"ESS Maestro2E MPU-401 Compatible (WDM)"
The first one its the only listed (and installed i guess) in Device Manager
How can i get FM Chip installed for play this dos games?
Sorry for my bad languaje btw
Thanks.
