I don't know what this is supposed to mean. :confused: However, I wrote that your configuration is too slow for modern SBEMU, which is good for more modern machines. But I didn't mention SBEMU. I am a little confused here. Oops, really, I'm so in that thread. I should have just mentioned the CPUSPD …

Okay I tested SBEMU a bit today on my MMX 233 machine with an SBLive PCI installed. /T set to 6 Games configured for SB16 sound and music. Audio output (both sound FX and music) seemed to be coming out only on the left side. Right channel is inaudible. For example, in Descent setup, the center and …

Re-flashed the BIOS on my Asrock 775i65G R2.0 and enabled support for Core 2. Tested it with an X6800 processor and seems to be working well. I tried disabling L1 & L2 cache to see what sort of throttling capabilities it has. Playing around with multipliers and FSB settings, I get 3DBench scores …

Thanks for the vid, but he seems to have different problems than I do. I tried some other Chinese software, it says it formats the flashdrive, but actually doing nothing. I was thinking, maybe it has to do with some policy restrictions on Win11? Denied access to floppy drives in gpedit.msc? I have …

I have long figured out the fake EMS sheet frame, a few simple lines in Config.sys. EMS is not created, only the sheet frame, so XMS/EMS sensitive titles run smoothly. Old and new systems are ok. Whether it is sbemu or sb dosdrivers. Will you please share how this is done? A few simple lines in …

Win7 still works, paranoid Win11 no longer allow such operations. Yep. Yesterday I tried to clone my win98 SSD and under Win11 it also permits me with "access denied" in any software like Acronis, Easeus, Macrium reflect. Under win7 - no problems. I use a CD/DVD/Pendrive boot for cloning. But …

Shortsaid it always took time to realize new ways, and SBEMU and other things emerged since then. If you look at very old posts then 386 is the thing and super socket 7 is boo, and then it’s i815 that’s not cool, and then we have almost crossed willamette line now and we are seeing more retro …

Are we supposed to be using "LH" when loading hdpmi and sbemu? I haven't been. That might be related to your issues? Also, did you set the right irq and dma for Doom using setup.exe? Quake and Wolfenstein just use your "Set Blaster" environment variable, but Doom does not. You also might try using …

@wierd_w I'd say it is probably down to an issue with the audio chipset in your thin client being a little strange to initialize. Probably the down problem, 5 types of machines i tried, all of them are good, at least with my favorite titles.

There's quite a difference to getting things working under Windows with its audio compatibility layers and natively in DOS. Even with a real ISA soundcard in real DOS you will never get 100% compatibility. Of the 290 titles I have tested on my most recent system I probably have somewhere in the …

No, Ryzen runs nicely, you have to learn a little use, but it's all in place. Love sbemu project, but to say in a nice way... compatibility is terrible yet ISA is a must for DOS compatibility, even best PCI cards have much lower compatibility. Did not tested SB Link in my life yet I've done some …
