Question about audio on old games

by Amos Roddy · in General Discussion · 01/24/2004 (2:48 pm) · 2 replies

Im looking at old and simple games to draw some game ideas from and a stumbled across the old Apogee game Death Rally. Great game, but I cant get the sound to work. Its got an audio setup like all the old mid 90s games. Anyone know what I might do to get these old dos games sound?

Thanks!

    Most of those relied on an enviroment variable to tell it what/where the card was..

    // The file "AUTOEXEC.BAT" ("AUTOEXEC.DOS" in 95/98) contained lines like this,
    //
    // SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T4
    // REM A=Base Address, I=Irq, D=DMA, T=Type.

    You will need to install the "Legacy" drivers that came with your sound card to enable
    the card for DOS.
