Sound for DOS games on modern hardware?

I pointed you to that site because of the forum they have. Doing a 2 second search for dos I found a post linking to this: http://www.turtlebeach.com/site/kb_ftp/5752007.asp Montego A3DXstream: DOS - How to install the Montego for DOS only Note: These instructions are for a DOS only installation. If you have Windows installed, please see the Montego A3DXstream User's Guide for installation instructions. To install for DOS: 1) Create a directory "tbeach" on the root of drive C ("c:\tbeach"). 2) Copy all of the files in the "\ms_dos\tbeach\" directory on the Montego A3DXstream CD to the "tbeach" directory you just created. (There should now be two files, "asp4dos.com" and "vortex.ini" in the "c:\tbeach" directory. 3) Add the following lines to the beginning of your "autoexec.bat" file: SET WINBOOTDIR=C:\TBEACH SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D3 T4 C:\TBEACH\ASP4DOS.COM To change resource settings: If you need to change the resource settings for the driver, you'll need to edit the "vortex.ini" file in the "tbeach" directory. The following entries in the "vortex.ini" file control the resource settings. SBFMBASE Sets the port address. Valid resources are 0x220 or 0x240. Default is 0x220 SBFMDMA Sets the DMA channel. Valid resources are 0x0, 0x1 or 0x3. Default is 0x3 SBFMIRQ Sets the IRQ. Valid resources are 0x2, 0x5, 0x7, or 0x10. Default is 0x5 If you change the resources you must also change the "SET BLASTER" statement in your "autoexec.bat" file to match: A is the port address. I is the IRQ. D is the DMA. (Note that these variables do not require the 0x prefix.) Example: SET BLASTER=A240 I7 D1 T4 Montego A3DXstream: DOS - How to install the Montego for DOS only You will notice you need the driver asp4dos.com which you can get from your install cd, or from the latest drivers found on the www.vortexofsound.com site itself under drivers. I should also tell you that most dos games do not work if you set the irq over 7 period. I have been using a PC since about 1989 for gaming with a crappy new 286 packard bell as my first rig. Dont expect any card to sounf exactly like the original soundblaster would have playing this game (for one thing you dont get the hiss of the soundblaster pro 2 on a new soundcard). ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ethan Dicks" <erd_6502(a)yahoo.com> To: <cctalk(a)classiccmp.org> Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 1:55 PM Subject: Re: Sound for DOS games on modern hardware?
