Haven't had much chance to get familiar with it, much for the same reason I haven't had a chance to actually enjoy too many games. Too busy testing...
Oh yeah... and every interim step in between.
Ok, that's probably overkill, but it's a good thing.
If you mean the run with VDMSound, yes. I'm also alternating with using the PIF
IOW, you have both "Run with VDMS" entries when you right click on a DOS EXE file (both with and without the musical note)? And when you run it with the musical note, it steps you through a wizard and creates a VLP file?
Well boil me in oil... I just tried SoundFX set for IRQ 7 and it worked. SoundFX works with both IRQ 5 and 7, and yet VDMSound won't work with either (for ApplePC)
EEE, you are killing me. That makes a whole lot of no sense. I mean I even ran it in XP on "Virtual PC" and it worked precisely the same way as it does on my real PC.
I understand "freak out" in and out of computerese. *grin*
Well, definitions on that one seem to vary...hopefully never involving "magic blue smoke".
Actually, I just went to XP
Tell me you let it set up a dual-boot. Please. So easy to do when installing, such a pain to do afterwards.
I had held off until now because I was told there was zero dos support in XP (and I need dos support for some other programs I still run) and just happened to see a dos prompt under XP in a computer store. So your info on XP-DOS is mucho helpful.
Actually, it's beyond that. There is no DOS in XP...at all. What you have is a command prompt with limited DOS emulation capacity, the NTVDM ("NT Virtual DOS Machine"). If your DOS title needs anything it doesn't emulate...
And I'm still without sound in ApplePC (which is the only program I want DOS sound in...
Well I'm personally hoping the AppleWin emulation can step forward with "real", usable mockingboard emulation soon.
Originally posted by MajorGrubert Actually, the same happens here, although I can hear the music playing in Ultima IV.
I get the same DAC error, but the audio still plays fine.
So I guess there is little else we can do but wait to see if Vlad will implement Direct DAC sometime in the future. I have just tried DosBox 0.58, but it is *very* slow in my Athlon XP 1800+, something like 25 to 50% of the speed of an actual Apple //e when I ran Ultima IV.
I don't know. I was able to run Ultima III fairly well by setting CPU to 9283 cycles and Frame Skip to 2.
Oddly enough I lose audio if I disable the SoundBlaster portion of VDMSound (supposed to only need the AdLib portion...).
