SB16 Emulation -- locking up keyboard?
Hello all,
I'm re-building an old system to use as a dedicated MAME machine. This system is using an ABIT KT7A board, with an AMD T-Bird 1.33ghz processor and 512mb memory. A very solid system when it ran Linux, and again when I had it running Win98. My intention is to run the DOS version of MAME, so I made sure to setup the SB16 emulation drivers when setting up Liveware 3.0 -- I followed these instructions: http://proasm.totalconversions.com/prosbdos.html What these instructions do NOT tell you, are the mods you need to make to your autoexec.bat and config.sys. My current two files look as such: AUTOEXEC.BAT SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe Now when I'm in a DOS "window" within Win98, and I launch DOS MAME, I get the prompt to select my audio card type -- where I choose option #1 for Sound Blaster. My game of choice then does load in, and voila... I have sound and everything is great. However, when I exit out of Windows and go directly to a DOS prompt and try the same, I do get my game of choice... but my keyboard is now dead. I tried unplugging the keyboard and plugging back in to see if this would solve the dilema, but no dice. I also tried all variations of sound card options in DOS MAME, but still no go. So to sum it up... when in pure DOS, the SB16 emulation drivers DO load just fine, and they're initializing when I select Sound Blaster as my sound of choice. But then I'm losing all keyboard functions. Any ideas/suggestions?? Many thanks. Kevin G. |

AUTOEXEC.BAT C:\PROGRA~1\CREATIVE\SBLIVE\DOSDRV\SBEINIT.COM - Move to top. this is the initialization program. SET CTSYN=C:\WINDOWS SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 H7 P330 T6 remove H7 and P330, also try I5 instead of I7 CONFIG.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\HIMEM.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\EMM386.SYS DEVICE=C:\WINDOWS\setver.exe remove setver.exe Many thanks. your welcome Kevin G. -- Erik - SETI@Home 75WU/1019hrs Want Free Hosting?
