Sound in DOS Games
This is a discussion about Sound in DOS Games in the Windows Games category; I remember ages ago in an article on the web regarding running DOS based programs under WinXP.

I remember ages ago in an article on the web regarding running DOS based programs under WinXP. I now have Windows XP RC1 and just out of curiosity installed DOOM (which I still don't mind to play every once in a while) I ran through the setup leaving everything as default, in win2k everything defaulted to no sound, whereas in this XP release it defaulted to sound blaster sound. When I loaded Doom it actually worked, sound and all, it just ran very sloooowwww.
I've fiddled with the program properties to try make it ran as well as it did on my good old 486 with no luck. Has anyone had any luck in trying this?
I used Sound Blaster for the FX, and General Midi for the music (selecting Sound Blaster for the music did not work)

Get Doom95 shareware you can play it all you want all you need to do copy the wad to the Doom95 folder.
OP
Thanks, but I do already have Doom95. I probably should have refered to DOS games in general in my last post, not just the one I was fiddling with at the time of writing. There are still a few DOS games I would like to play sometimes, and if I can get them going under XP rather than dual booting I'd be much happier
thanks Dosfreak
