Timenn Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I was playing old dos-games lately, like Commander Keen or Wacky Wheels :), but the games are using my soundcard with writing straightly to the hardware, and most old soundcards supported that, but the new ones don't. Is there an emulator or something, so I can play the games again with (good) sound? I hope so, cause my Commander Keen music has been ruined :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 What is your new soundcard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 27, 2002 Author Share Posted June 27, 2002 Hehe, I forgot to include ;)In my old pc, I have a Creative Soundblaster 16-bits, with this the sounds does work, but very crappyI don't know the one in my new pc, I'll search for that. But it is a card from an half year old. And Creative, I thought. And with this, the sounds doesn't work at all. I know more people with new soundcards, where the old-dos-games sounds won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz and it works with Dune II, not sure about other DOS games.So if you need a new, and good :), soundcard try that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 I haven't tried playing ODS games in along while, but I'm suprisd the newer soundcards do not support it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Well, I had an old soundcard first in that old pc, but when that one was broken, and we needed an new one. But Gobalopper, how old is that soundcard? Maybe it is one of the ones, which still supports the old soundcoding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted June 28, 2002 Share Posted June 28, 2002 I think its about a year or so old now. It's a great soundcard, none of those annoying problems you get with Creative cards either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted June 28, 2002 Author Share Posted June 28, 2002 Hmm, so it can be that Creative doesn't support old Dos-games anymore? I will ask some others, who's sound didn't work either what kind of cards they have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
