SB Emulation in MS-DOS/Windows 98 SE

Background

Legacy games in the market were designed for use in MS-DOS mode and they

require MS-DOS drivers in order to run. However, MS-DOS drivers are not installed

together with other Sound Blaster Audigy devices and applications. If you want to

to install these drives and play MS-DOS games, read this chapter. Sound Blaster

Audigy supports MS-DOS games.

Installing MS-

DOS Drivers

To install MS-DOS drivers, do the following:

1. Insert the Sound Blaster Audigy installation CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2. Click

Start

Run

3. In the

Run

dialog box, click

D:\DOSDRV\LANGUAGE\SETUP.EXE

(where D:

represents your CD-ROM drive and Language represents the file’s language).

4. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the installation.

Opening MS-

DOS

There are two ways to play MS-DOS games:

❑ From the MS-DOS box in Windows 98 SE (recommended)

Click

Start

Programs

MS-DOS Prompt

❑ In MS-DOS mode

There may be times when you do not want to or cannot run a game from the MS-

DOS box. The legacy game may be incompatible with Windows 98 SE, or there

are insufficient system resources to play the game with Windows 98 SE loaded.

In such cases, use MS-DOS mode.

To restart the system in MS-DOS mode when you are already in Windows 98 SE:

1. Click

Start

Shut Down
