Looking in the MegaRace 2 setup I noticed the highest address setting is 250, while mine is set to 260.

EDIT: I got MR2 working.. dropped my address to A240 : E640

In fact.. All my games are working with sound EXCEPT KQ5

Just saying, in general you want your Sound Blaster on address 220 and interrupt 7 to work with pretty much every game right away 😀

UPDATE: I managed to change my address to 220 and IRQ to 7.. I also found an updated AUDBLAST.DRV but still no dice. Now there's no error msg just the blue floppy icon on a black screen, mouse moves, keyb isn't locked.. but nothing.

I think it was set to 220 before I installed some other cards and the address changed. I manually set it to 240, but wasn't able to get 220. Been a while since I messed with PnP, IRQ's and Legacy ISA cards.

Everything seems to be working great except KQ5. From what I read it seems like my hardware is too fast and causing the error. The GOSIERRA patch is supposed to fix that, but no dice.

FIXED!! SET BLASTER variable had to be set in KQ5.bat.
I'm not sure why having it in the DOSSTART.BAT isn't enough. I even tried adding it to the end, but that didn't work. Maybe I need to load it twice or load it from another BAT file?

I'm still not getting voices in KQ5, but basic sounds work and the game loads. One small step for man..

Are you running W95 or W98?

Things get confusing when running DOS games with these operating systems.

I made a video tutorial showing how to install W95 or W98 and then removing Windows so you are only left with MS-DOS 7.1:

I'm running Windows 98 SE B, but I'm restarting in MS-DOS Mode. I would have went totally DOS-Only, but I plan to run a couple older Windoze games too.

No worries!

Really good TUT BTW.. I ended up doing something sort of like this. I can still access Windoze if I have to, but it boots up with everything set for DOS-Mode.

Thank you!

I can't quite recall, but I don't think DOSSTART.BAT executes when you restart in MS-DOS mode. You can test this yourself, if you want: put in a line that says "echo Testing Testing Testing" followed by a line that says "pause".

After banging my head a couple times I came to that conclusion. I've been out of the 9x/DOS loop for too long. 😀
