Full Version: Vintage Games
Hey guys, I just released an msi Installshield setup of that ol wonder.... Wolfenstein3D, now I've noticed that since WinME, this game seems to have a problem with MIDI emulation....I am SOOOO completely lost on this one... The wav sounds work, (ie. sound effects), but the music doesn't play) there has got to be a workaround for this considering it was originally designed to work on Adlib/Sound Blaster/Disney SoundSource.....anyone?

Crap, where'd my mod powers go?
I don't think many of the old game's sound work on newer computers. The only thing I could get W3D to work w/ sound on was an old Pentium 133 laptop. There are some odd drivers you may be able to find, but don't get your hopes up. Oh, and designed for Sound Blaster... yeah right. Sound Blaster as in 1992 sound blaster

Do you think there could be anyway to create an emulator for these old games?
a good emulator would be VMWare and Windows 98 installed in it.
that should work for you.

Or, you could try this: Sound in old ID Software games doesn't work properly

Getting sound to work properly in games can be one of the most annoying problems in XP. Windows XP tries to emulate DOS sound automatically, using the following settings: A220 I5 D1 T3 P330. If a game (or its setup program) is asking for sound card info, that is what you should enter.
However, I've found that this rarely works. A better solution is to download VDMSound, a Sound Blaster emulator specifically made for Windows XP/2000. (VDMSound will NOT work in Windows 9x or ME!) Download and install the software found on that site. Then when you want to play the game, either create a shortcut using VDMSound as described in the game docs, or, just right click on a game, and choose the option to run it with VDMS. Hopefully, you'll hear sound!
